prepared or not? here's a LONNNNGGGG review of GUG for you! did this last time teng went to GUG trial with my other thread.. .. but not at 10 mths.. older..there were more add-on my my other thread frens. but for issues of confidentiality.. i only posting mine here

From Astro:
GUG -- how I feel
hmmm.. i quite like it.. and i really understand now why they can proudly proclaim and patent their zoo-phonics success. it is certainly very refreshing and shows evidence of planning in the creating of the zoo-phonic system..that to me.. was the highlight, and by far the most impressive part, for the day..
First half of lesson
- small wonder audrey's son has superior pronunciation compared to kids their age. and again small wonder GUG can so yaya-ly say their zoo phonics is that good.. coz they really repeat it again and again for the first half of the lesson! and i must say they did it well. Though some animals they chose to represent the animals a bit unconmoon for our babies.. like Yak for Y, ..and irish worm (??) for I.. ehh. can't remember.. but still good attempt to increase vocabulary for our bbs lah.
thouugh the primary approach here is using flash cards.. but they brought it one level higher.. to include ryhmes, emphasis (on starting letters and sounds), animal association and matching/identification of animals on the wall by bbs.. was there some actions ah? ya. i think have right? i recalled the action for the elephant.. ya.. have actions.. so aside from just flashing the cards and that is.. they killed 4 birds with one stone! in one activity!! wah,.. impressed. ..
- first 15 mins used to explore the toys they have.. ehh. nothing much there.. maybe is just to wait for all to come.. and settle down. but maybe because we all very familiar with one another. i felt the environment was very conducive.. and indeed they have their house rules set and implemented very clearly. heehee.. poor daddies/mummies not in the room can only peep from a narrow glass slit .. haha
- movement and gross motor was a bit lacking.. maybe their emphasis was not that.. so only have tunnel play.. and teaching the mummies the creative use of tunnels vertically (playing peek-a-boo, never thought of that.. hahaha. not bad lah. quite creative).. and of course crawling thru it.. then allow bbs to crawl or play peek-a-boo. quite similar to gymboree PLAY classes.. nothing much there...
- reading of boardbook. i was distracted by teng.. and i really never pay attnetion to that. can't remember the story.. and draw any possible assoications.. hmm. but was good try.. need to teach our bbs to sit thru story telling.. will be useful when they go higher up.. kindergarten or nusery.. sure have this kind of storytelling. in primary school.. they stilldo that? i not sure.. but not bad training..
- numeracy, teaching bbs to count.. with an activity. i forgot liao.. coz i was busy prising teng's pudgy fingers open to count.. !! again a lot of repetition.. haha.. but good lah..got some banging of mat, wave byebye, what else? forgot.. but i think all these included to develop the coordination of our bbs..
- then intro the animal of the day.. i was like wondering how come introduce gorilla? .. SO that was the letter of the day , 'G'. .so Gregro the Gorilla..the peeling of the banana (grrrr..) [but how come peeling of banana will get grrrr sound ah?], Green flavouring.. (and when cornflour mixed with green solution)--> Goo.. wah. not bad. again empahsis and repetittion.
- then exprimential play using the green solution and cornflour.. i like it a lot . it introduced physic.. (but still tied to 'G' theme for the day).. powdery cornflour, diffusion of green colouring in water (showing to the bbs, teng was STARING at the water turn colour.. i think all bbs were staring at it?) , green solution, then goo (cornflour mixture.. -- did they choose cornflour for a purpose? to produce the gluey goo? coz corn flour can do that.. other flour not as gluey goo?).. then let the bbs play. as thought it was VERY messy. they still inisit on letting the bbs do that.. i think it is good attempt. coz many educators/orgs often shy from implementating things which are too messy.. i think teng was fascinated with the cornflour mixture.. Rae and YT both 'no manners liao'.. haha. keep splashing me the mixture.. teng like boss. (star commented). dipped one pudgy hand test test onli.. then SUCK! so. he was the only bb who tasted the cornflour! haha. taste.. another lesson which he learned.. whahahaa. but he very cute with the cornflour stains around his mouth. i think YT wanted to bathe in it liao!!! right mejo??.. whahaha..
second half of lesson
mood spoilt by the bimbo..
but nonetheless.. quite fun..
star pointed out got live music accompaint. not pre-recorded..not bad.. but the action and stuff very similar to kindermusik lah..
ceiling got dangling stars. teng kept wanting to pluck them down.. and keep lifting his head to see them..huge mirror to reflect.. let bbs see their reflections..--good stimulation..
quality of faciilatators
i think they were relatively enthu without sounding fake.. def very well rehearsed.. and also firm.. had to tell the mummies to show good examples .. and focus on the teachers.... aiya. we all so naughty. SQ will scold us, never pay attention to teachers.. hhaaa.. so in a way, they were not afraid to be firm to deliver the lesson. i find that commendable. they could also control the class well. and appeared composed.. quite good..
we had teacher fairuz (she has ABRSM theory and is the head of music) to play the keyboard for us.. the other teacher has also a cert in preschool education.. so there was quality in the faciliators..
all in all. i like the class. i find that it is very coherent.. and def. very strong evidence in planning and the thought behind the design of the curriculum.. the deans.. (with their masters in education) reallhy know the pysche of pre-schoolers to involve so much repeition.. i had reservations abt the 1.5 hour. i thought it was too long iniatially but was actually quite fast paced. teng despite badly deprived of sleep did enjoy himself and didn't have time to fuss..too much.. and i think almost all the bbs had their eyes glued to gregro the gorilla when he made his appearance..
think GUG is not bad..

one last post before i locked myself up to do my post..
i am sorry to disappoint you ladies liao :S
the playhouse deal.. to me .. make no diff. cause i asked.. if it is the whole place to ourselves..theysaid no.. they will still allow walk in.. like that..what the difference if we go on our own and just let fate 'decide the condition of play ' that day right? ..hence i didnt ask any further liao. coz weekends crowded.. and with so many of us thre and they still allow walk in. then i cannot imagine..
weekday.. no diff in cost.. coz they still charge by thehours.. and still not the whole place to ourseleves..
:S

Dim sum dollies????!!!!! ROFL!
Astro
ur review of GUG sounds so much like Julia Gabriels! yeah 1.5 hrs seemed long to me too. When i signed my elder one for JG, it was 2 hrs, i think or was it 1.5 hrs? Cant rem... me & hub took turns to go in. wah liew... to stay in there thru'out wld hv broken my bones! cant tahan!
ginger
yep, i vaguely rem lydia mentioning 10 sep! its a PH!
RN ah? din chg much... she looks abit meatier in pix but dun let the pix fool u! she's super active & cannot keep still... but yet when we had the playdate 2 wks ago @ Royce, she machiam so shy and stuck close to me. refused to join her other frens in the ball pit... hope she gets better as we do more of such playdates.
Tien/Hippo
wah ur hokkien oso powderful?! heee... ahem! me too!!! hahahaha... somehow i was hoping my kids wld at least pick up some dialects fr home... kept asking my mum & MIL to speak dialects to the kiddos but they cant switch! its usually mandarin peppered with lousy engrish! switch on the lights is "open the lights" to them or "open the tap"... *faint*
xoxolight
actually for me, i think once my son turns 3, things got easier.
tts y i wld rather take care of him anytime as compared to RN. i am waiting for RN to turn 3 and hopefully life gets easier... i cant wait to boot them both out of our room!
Tien
hahaha, grading them all F9 easier?! LOL!
Wah ur hub so onz! Organise picnic cum kite flying!
its a nice place and i've only been there once... anythings for the babies? else they all end up "eating grass".... i mean mine will surely do tt! She loves to lick things on the floor now! BTH!
Can sense all of ur TGIF happy mood now!!!

Astro the Guru : Heh... Need your expertise... Teng was in kindermusik's Village? How many semesters did he attend? I m thinking should I just let C continue for another semester or many more? I quite like their programme and most importantly, hubby likes it too! Or should I just enrol her in GUG... its waiting list for trial class is super long lor... Is it better to enrol after bb turned 18 months when they should be able to do more things on their own? And... which programme to sign up huh? The twice weekday regular classes / once weekly enrichment programmes on weekends? There are so many courses in the market really dunno what to take....
Little gym: Prefer to go to the one at marina sq but timing not so suitable for weekends leh....

astro > don't feel that disappointed..they are running a biz afterall. actually, we can have the room upstairs to ourselves and bring along some toys from downstairs! take it easy! 3pm as a timing..i have my reservations. the last time i went there - 2pm - HEAVENLY! only me and yvonne plus her sister! hardly a soul. the angmoh fellas start to come in at 3-4pm..but three should still be quite alright!...only thing now is..the cleanliness..!
alternatives: if the weather is great, the zoo is a good place. i read many babies are pointing here and there...but the zoo hor...we are in for a workout...second alternative, the safra place? third option - gymboree at harbourfront? we go there for freeplay? dim sum mini-session at the new crystal jade place..? or big bosses?
nlimm > rochester isn't too far from your place!

Nlimm: ya I get migraine when it's too hot! So these few days have been hellish for me. Another reason is also be is Kay decided to be notti and woke up at 12.30am to play last nite. Think she only managed to sleep at 2+am. So lack of sleep also gives me' migraine. I hope she won't pull off the same stunt again tonight. She slept around the same time as last nite.
