Well, for the record, she did her very first card for me. Thanks to the 'force' of school, i guess. When i told her is 'Mother's Day' this Sunday! she asked me, when's Father's Day?
Anyway, We went to a drama workshop this morning(thanks to Hann's mummy kind sharing). The girl went in the workshop without me, but Caitlin. Two little cuties hold hand in hand and walked into the classroom without mamas. whilst, mama Ade and I joined in a storytelling workshop where all parents got to know a lot more about wonderful storytelling to children. One particular book which being highly recommended is Hey, Listen to This, by Jim Trelease. It gives a list of related books to young children & suggestion for reading to engage children into story (i just realised that there are 48 stories in there!).
List of books recommended:
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, by Bill Martin Jr.
Baa Baa Black Sheep, by Iza Trapani
Rosie's walk, by Pat Hutchins.
Hairy Maclary and Zachary Quack, by Lynley Dodd.
Daisy All-sorts, by Pamela Allen
Five Minutes Peace, by Jill Murphy
The Kitchen God, by Adeline Foo (Local)
and others simple charming rhyming stories to hook young children to books.
We shall look forward for a free storytelling session from Storytelling Association, as what the speaker shared today.
After the workshop, on our way to Paragon for lunch, both the kids were trying to express themselves to tell mamas story and showed interests to come back for Uncle Max (the teacher) another drama class... i am studying the possibility now...
