One of the many ways to encourage children to learn and develop their emotional-intelligence is to recognize and praise their efforts and achievements. We observe the children’s behavior, listen to their stories and share their comments and experiences. By listening intently when the children express themselves and offering support and praise we help to improve their self-confidence and encourage a friendly atmosphere.

To allow the parents the opportunity to recognize the children’s achievements, Kindy City International Preschool have organized the ‘Year End Celebrations 2015’. This celebration marks the successful end of the first 20 weeks of the teaching and development of the children and allows them to perform and express themselves creatively at a Christmas event with a welcoming and joyful atmosphere.

The ‘Year End Celebrations 2015’ allows the children to present the work they have completed over the last semester. Their work features crafts, puzzles and colourful art designs which were completed during weekly projects in class. The various crafts and products represents the range of themes covered over the past 20 weeks, including the EXERCISES, BOXES STUDY,  CLOTHES STUDY,  BALLS STUDY and TREES STUDY….

The children also designed and created parts of the costumes for the ‘Year End Celebrations 2015’. This is just an example of some of their creations over the past 20 weeks, other examples include paper sports equipment, Christmas decorations, pictures of animals that live in trees and some cute clothing for dolls to wear. The event not only allows parents to see how hard the children worked to create these products but also to observe the joy and confidence of the children when they are singing and dancing on stage.

There will be several fun, Christmas themed games games for children of all levels to participate in, including a reindeer dash, snowman puzzle, fake snow and pass the parcel. While the children enjoy the game stations, the parents can attend a workshop entitled “Find out more about the assessment  in Creative Curriculum” which explains the methods used by the school to measure the children’s development. Additional, there will be a discussion on “Why science study is important for preschoolers?” focusing on the importance of science and how the children acquire science through practical activities, academic projects and parents suggestions at home.
