 Dear everyone, Please find a brief summary about the concept area and the activities held for the children at the preschool ministry yesterday on Sunday 04 March 2012: Thank you very much to those who came and observed the session. It has been such a great blessing to have a special guest, Frieda Nielsen, who came and shared her beautiful faith-story and encouraging both the children and adults to tell others about our heavenly Father who loves and cares for us. (Matthew 28:20) Concept Area: Community and World Theme: People tell others about God and Jesus. Bible Story: Special Guest Speaker: Frieda Nielsen and Luke 5:1-11 The call of the First Disciples - "I will make you fishers of men" Bible Verse: Matthew 28:20 Tell about Jesus Activities: There were 3 activity stations that were set up, as follow: 1) Bible Story with Colouring activity: Luke 5:1-11 The call of the First Disciples - "I will make you fishers of men" The fishermen Peter, Andrew, James and John have been fishing all night but could not catch any fish. They have been working hard all night, casting their nets out into the Sea of Galilee many times but could not catch any fish. The next morning, Jesus was preaching and teaching a large crowd of people near the Sea of Galilee. He saw the fishermen and called them to bring their boat over so that He then climbed into the boat. Jesus preached and the fishermen also listened carefully, even though they were tired and sleepy. Then Jesus said to them to 'let's go fishing'. They obeyed and cast their nets out into the water. The nets became full of fish. The fishermen were no longer tired but felt excited and ambitious. Peter knelt down before Jesus because he knew he is a sinful man. Jesus said 'Do not be afraid. From now on, you will be fishers of men, instead of fish'. Let us be ambitious to tell others about Jesus! 2) Retelling of Bible Stories taught from previous sessions, such as: - Noah's Ark - Jonah and the Whale - The Good Samaritan - Joseph and his brothers The children were encouraged to talk, listen and reflect upon these stories, and have a go and making their own collages/montages by pasting pictures that depict these Bible Stories on large pieces of paper. 3) Fishing for coloured fish: The children had great fun fishing for coloured fishes from a 'water tank'. They could then add and paste all the 'fishes' that they have caught onto their own collages. As part of a first-time-effort to encourage inter-generation interaction for the preschoolers, Frieda came and shared with us her own personal faith-story. This generated a lot of interesting thoughts and learning conversations with the children, who were prompted to reflect on our heavenly Father. Pictures depicting fatherly love and prayer were also shown to help the visual learners. We closed the time of sharing with a prayer. The day's session concluded with a birthday celebration for Joshua Friis and Joshua Coote. Everyone enjoyed the yummy chocolate birthday cake, with juice and sweets that were prepared by the parents. Overall, it was a great joy to see the children interacting with Frieda and with one another. We hope to see your children again next time, both 'old' and 'new' faces to come, share and enjoy in the wonderful teachings God has for us. Blessings, Wi Min on behalf of the teachers/helpers on 04 March 2012.

Nursery Lesson Plan 16: I Can Help Others - 15 January 2012
Dear everyone,
Please find a brief summary about the concept
area and the activities planned for the children on Sunday 15 January 2012:
As there were only 2 children who attended the pre-school class on 08 January, VK and I decided to repeat and reinforce the learning session on 15 January with different learning activities.
Concept Area:
Community and World
Theme:
I can help others around me.
Bible Story:
Luke 10:25-37 Jesus tells about the Good Samaritan
Bible Verse:
Galatians 5:13 Help one another
Activities:
We continued with the minds-on and interactive activities of talking with the children using picture examples of how the children can help at home, for example, taking care of a younger sibling while mommy is cooking, visiting grandparents, helping with household chores such as doing laundry, baking and walking the dog together. The children were encouraged to draw an outline of their hands on coloured paper to connect the idea of their 'helping hands' with how the Good Samaritan helps the injured man. (Luke 10:25-37).
Another station with the children's kitchen was used with plastic cooking utensils and food, whereby the children could play and learn at the same time while teachers guided them in their learning of how they can be helpful at home, such as baking and cooking with parents and siblings.
The other stations included activities for colouring a picture of 'The Good Samaritan', Joining-the-dots and tracing for the older toddlers who were interested in these activities.
The Bible story of 'The Good Samaritan' was re-taught again, with a time of reflection at the end using open-ended questions to the children, such as
'Why and how was the Samaritan good?'
'What do you think the Priest and the Levite should have done?'
'How can we be a good Samaritan?'
'How can we help one another at home or at school (vuggestue/børnehave)?'
This teaching session concluded with a time of hands-on learning by encouraging the children to pick out selected coloured gummi bears from a bowl of mixed gummi bears and serving the selected colours in another child's bowl.
Overall, it was a great joy to see many children and new faces that day and I hope to see everyone again at pre-school!
Blessings,
Wi Min

Nursery Lesson Plan 16: I Can Help Others - 8 January 2012
Dear Parents,
Happy new year to all the Sunday Pre-school children and parents.
I hope that the children can continuously be reminded in this coming week about I can help others around me. Please continue to remind your children about how your children can help one another in their communities like at school and family.
Concept Area:
Community and World
Theme:
I can help other around me
Bible Story:
Luke 10:25-37 Jesus tells about the Good Samaritan
Bible Verse:
Galatians 5:13 Help one another
Galatians 5:13 Help one another
Activities:
We introduced to the children about The Good Samaritan. We set up 4 activities stations, one of them was pasting various pictures on helping one another like helping old people crossing the road, helping friends who fell down, helping each other to climb mountain, helping the weak and injured one in disasters, and helping each other in paddy field. Through this activity, we have a good conversation time with the children to introduce them the concept of helping one another. At the 2nd activity station, the children did colouring on a picture of the Good Samaritan. We introduced the story about the Good Samaritan helping the injured person at the roadside. The 3rd activity was letting the children to nurse a baby doll. They were guided on how they could help to put on a plaster on a baby doll as if there was a cut on his leg. The children also helped to put on a baby diaper. This activity help the children to understand that they can help the younger children at home or in their community. The last activity station was a bible story station where the children can choose a bible story they like and we tell them the story.
During
the Bible story telling time, we introduced them The Good Samaritan
story. After the bible story telling, we reinforced the learning from this bible story
by asking them who is the person in the story, the priest, the Levite
or the Samaritan did the right thing. We also try to have a conversation
with the children about how they can help one another at home or at
school to connect this concept with their daily life and application. We concluded the Bible story time by playing a fun game. We ask each child what was
their preferred colour of the gummi bears
and the rest of the children helped one another to pick up their
friends' preferred colours from a big bowl of mixed gummi bears
into their friends' bowls. This activity enhanced their
understanding of the concept of the day.
I
urge and encourage you as a parent to continue the learning aim at home
on what the children have learned at the Sunday Pre-school.
I hope to see you all again at church on Sunday!
Blessings,
VK
