Chung Ching Middle School recently held its annual ‘Shining Star’ programme for the kindergarteners.
The eight-day programme saw kindergarteners worked on a number of activities with their teachers.
The programme aims to expose students to activities outside of the classroom and encourage them to use teamwork, creativity and use their imagination in honing storytelling and crafting skills.
All eight sessions were held twice a week, comprising craft-making and culinary, outdoor activities and field trips.
The first session saw the children immersed in a story by making makeshift tent with craft papers, and enjoying a starry night sky made from glow-in-the-dark materials.
The second session saw the children prepare camping favourites such as marshmallows, fruits, buns and sausages, while the third session saw them embark on a hunt a ‘bear’ with a binocular making activity with their teachers.
Other sessions included making nature-inspired jewellery, preparing chicken wraps and making lanterns as well as field trip to the Panaga Fire Station.
Equipped with camping outfit and gear, students explored the ‘wilderness’ in a form of a maze to retrieve a missing bracelet and solving riddles, before finally finding the ‘bear’ in a cave. – Daniel Lim
