Children's Day was celebrated on Friday, 23 rd October 2009 in our centre. Our children took to the mini stage for some dancing and poses to win the judges' hearts to grasp the ‘Best Dressed Girl' and ‘Best Dressed Boy' for each level; i.e. from Pre-Nursery to Kindergarten 2.
Do not underestimate these children as they know what is the meaning of ‘Showing our Best!'

TRAIN RIDE FOR KINDERLAND CHILDREN
In view of the theme for the 2nd half of the 2nd term which is 'Transportation,' our children with ages ranging from 4 to 6 took part in a train ride from Ipoh to Batu Gajah, Perak in May 2009. The excited children were accompanied by their teachers during the ride. The children also went on a study trip to the Ipoh Aero Club to see some private planes and helicopters and later to the Medan Gopeng Bus Terminal to see the Express Buses. To round off the trip, the children went to a lorry showroom to do some 'exploration.' The objective of the trip is to expose our children to various types of transportation and their uses. Our children also had the chance to sit in a trishaw during the early part of the month.
STUDY TRIP TO THE PET SHOP
In accordance to our 2nd Term's Theme, 'Creatures Great and Small,' our children with ages ranging from 4 to 6 accompanied by their teachers visited a pet shop in Tasek, Ipoh in April 2009. The children had a 'whale' of a time looking at the various types of fish and sea creatures like lobsters and crabs. The children were also excited over the bunnies, turtles and hampsters. To round off the visit, each child took home a Betta fish in a cute container. The objective of the trip is to allow our children to have a better insight and awareness of different species of fish and other animals.
