Annual Concert 2010

2010-12-04T08:13:00.004+08:00

We have reached the end of 2010 and this is probably my last entry - for the year.
Yes, there hasnt been any other post except the first at the start of the year as there were problems with camera, computers etc ... excuses and not to forget facebook ....
Many parents are my friends in FB - that shall go on.

For those who aren't, here I share some fotos of the concert which was of course another great one, for those who missed it ....

Hello Everyone

2010-01-08T23:09:00.005+08:00

Dear Parents

It has been a week of school, the new children are still trying to fit in while the ones who have been around establish new friendship. It was so fascinating to hear on the first day the five year olds commenting on the new 6 year olds, forgetting that they themselves have gone one notch up.

Each year the children are different - this is based on whether they are the eldest, middle child or youngest in the family. You can easily identify their traits when you know their position in the family, that being said, our 6 year olds this year comprise of mostly middle or youngest child thus their behaviour is still kind of churlish, shy and less extrovert.

Courtesy of Pn Azalina, Nur Sarah's mum, I have uploaded a 'summary' photograph of the 2009 graduates. Now I need a lesson to collate the photos that way.

We are open for ideas and suggestions to make 2010 a more interesting and engaging year. Meantime to all mums and dads, brave forward to face the tides of the year.

Goodbye 2009 - Welcome 2010

2009-12-29T11:25:00.004+08:00

The school year 2009 has come to a close. Much has happened and we have seen the children blossom, the shy ones have come out of their shell, learning to make friends, those who are not able to read has progressed in their reading skills, many hands are now steady to produce nice writing.

All these skills are developed through play as we believe in the concept of 'play to learn'. Education does not evolve around books alone nor does it take place only at school, it can take place at the playground, at home, at the supermarkets and anywhere you take your children to. Expand their minds and vocabulary through communication and the child will learn that there is no boundary in learning.

We see the children moving one step at a time in the milestone of their lives and that is the beauty of child development. Children are individuals yearning to grow and do all the 'adult things' but they have to be guided and we at school, as educators try to provide as much support. Concurrently at home, parents help to nurture children by providing a conducive and positive home environment allowing room for development.

We hope for a more exciting 2010 and for those entering the 'big school', we wish them well and hope they will enjoy the next phase of their lives. Thanks to mums who have contributed food, drinks and snacks for our farewell party.

Class of 2009

2009-11-23T12:38:00.006+08:00

Here we have the graduates of 2009, 15 of them, 10 boys and 5 girls. More than half will be attending SK USJ20 in 2010, they shall meet again.

We believe we have prepared them sufficiently, although some are further ahead than where they should be, but then again, each child is different and at Tunas Suria we nurture each child's development and progress according to their capability.

We facilitate the children's learning and development, and together with parents, we create individuals who are confident and independent with a positive attitude towards learning and life.

Graduation Concert 2009

2009-11-23T12:06:00.005+08:00

21st November 2009 at 10am, we had our Graduation Concert 2009, again this year it was held at Dewan Kencana of SK USJ20. The weather was great and being mid-morning, the children were fresh and spritely, too spritely actually.

The children sang and danced from songs in the movies like "Tomorrow" from the movie Annie, "Under the sea" from the movie The Little Mermaid, "Do Re Mi" from the movie The Sound of Music and "Jai Ho" from the movie The Slumdog Millionaire.

The emcees for the programme were Muhd Afiq and Iman Sofea, our afterschoolers who are now in Standard 3. Our performers were as young as 3 year olds and it shows that with some encouragement and guidance, they are able to perform. We open opportunities like these for the youngsters to develop their skills and talent through participation in concerts.

This year we had a special performance from Uncle Abdul Karim, who played his guitar and the mums and dads performed too! We'll put up pictures of the performing mums in another entry.

Memories of 21st November 2009 have been captured in photos and video for us to relive whenever we want.

Majlis Hari Raya

2009-10-09T14:23:00.005+08:00

Today the children celebrate Hari Raya - with nasi himpit, rendang, kuah kacang and serunding ... yummy and lots of raya cookies contributed by the parents, thank you. We want the children to really have a feel of proper Malay delicacies and fortunately all of them love it.

Vehicles ...take us places

2009-08-27T22:57:00.002+08:00

With a bit of imagination, the kids and their parents/brothers/sisters made these pieces.

Recycle and get creative ....

Gardenia Trip 21st July 2009

2009-07-30T23:51:00.003+08:00

Here we are at the Gardenia Factory.

Language

2009-07-12T17:54:00.002+08:00

Hi Parents

Seems that the government has made a decision to have Science and Mathematics taught in English by 2012 which means the current 4 year olds will start studying those subjects in Bahasa Malaysia when they start school.

Much has been said in the media about this, we would like parents to share their views and we will inform you how we will go about with the teaching of these two subjects. Just a point to note, we will keep English as our medium of instruction and English will continue to be taught as a subject.

Rabbits and Elephants

2009-07-11T21:20:00.003+08:00

Rabbits and elephants came to school and went home with the children.
Parents can help add tails to the animals, for rabbits with a ball of cotton and some string (grey) for the elephants. Have fun with your creation.

Father's Day

2009-06-13T08:33:00.004+08:00

Some call him ayah, some call him abah, baba, papa and daddy ... whatever you are called father, hope you like your gift - it's a paperweight (if your kid 'fail' to inform you) ....

Water Play

2009-05-28T15:49:00.007+08:00

Its water play time!!!

A highlight for the children after five months of school ...

Birthdays 2009 (1st Half)

2009-05-24T18:29:00.012+08:00

These are the happy, sad, moody and dreamy faces of our children - Adieb Ramzy (6), Rayn Danish (3), Lutfi Hakim (5), Aqiel Nawfal (4), Fariha Batrisyah (5), Sabrina (6), Aiman Hakim (6), Irdina (4), Jivanesh (5), Amir (4) - when they celebrated their birthdays the last few months ... yes, Aunty Huda had a pile of back log work that there was no time to update .... sorrrry!

Anyway the kids should be looking forward to the next activity - WATER PLAY on 28th May 2009 just before we break for one week ie. from 1st June to 5th June 2009.

In July there will be a visit to Gardenia and in October to Faber Castell.

2008

2008-12-24T07:23:00.004+08:00

This is the last day of school for the year ending 2008. It has been a year of much fun and laughter, of course lots of work too.

The highlight of the year as usual is the concert cum graduation which we believe reached its high note this year. To all the parents of graduating children, we hope your children have benefited much from our programme and they will 'survive' the real school work.

To parents of children still pursuing their educational journey at Tunas Suria, we hope next year will be loads of fun and laughter too, not forgetting hard work.

Till 2009, happy holidays to everyone.

Pantun Dikir Barat Tunas Suria

2008-12-16T17:19:00.002+08:00

Cuti sekolah melawat Melaka,
Balik kampong naik bas ekspress,
Di Tunas Suria molek belaka,
Balik rumah, baru tunjuk stress.

Semalam pergi ke Bukit Sagil,
Jumpa pula budak nama Yati,
Aunty Zara nama dipanggil,
Orangnya lembut dan murah hati.

Nasi lemak sambalnya pedas,
Makan pula bawah pokok ceri,
Orangnya penyayang tapi tegas,
Itulah Mak Chor nama diberi.

Kalau bergaya serah kat dia,
Sekali tengok macam artis Hindi,
Nak tau siapakah dia,
Itu lah guru Inggeris kami.

Di Kelana Jaya waktu petang,
Tengok atuk nak pergi haji,
Dulu suara bukan main lantang,
Sekarang pula apa dah jadi.

Mari kita bersuka ria,
Lepas itu pergi petik bunga,
Prinsipal kami di Tunas Suria,
Masih belum ada yang punya.

"Written by Pn Norkhasiah"

DIKIR BARAT TUNAS SURIA

2008-11-30T19:11:00.007+08:00

Dikir Barat, a cultural performance which originates from Kelantan is the highlight of our concert this year. It is amazing what the children managed to learn in a month what we probably would take months to master. With much effort from Aunty Val and Aunty Nor's creativity (she did the 'pantun' while she was on medical leave), we came up with our own rendition of DIKIR BARAT TUNAS SURIA.

This is just a part of it ...

THANK YOU

2008-11-30T06:31:00.001+08:00

Dear parents

Thank you for your strong support and cooperation in this year's concert. Your active participation is greatly appreciated and we look forward to more joyful concerts in years to come. We welcome ideas and parents involvement in organising the concert.

For those who helped this year, thank you so much.

The concert would not be a success without your children's effort and you will find that your children have so much talent than you can ever imagine.

Let's work towards making our children's life more interesting and enjoyable, let's nurture their talents and watch them grow to be confident and independent individuals.

We will put together photos and cd's of the concert and inform you accordingly. In the meantime, a sneak into what took place.

Once again - thank you so much - great job parents.

Birthday Month

2008-10-10T13:44:00.000+08:00

Hi Parents

Welcome back from the holidays! It sure was a long one for Tunas Suria and I am sure some of you do have a hard time getting the kids to get back to school routine.

This is a birthday month. There are about 10 kids who have their birthdays this month. If theres a party for each one, wow that's a lot of sugar for the kids. Let's hope parents will give healthy party favours.

Areefa, Adam and Nadrah are 6 this month.

We are born in October!

Nicholas will be 3, Aleesya and Qasdina will be 4.

Ikmal and Azzim will be 5, and so also Sarah.

We also celebrated Hazim's second birthday and here's a picture to commemorate it.

We take this opportunity to wish all Muslim parents "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri - Maaf Zahir Batin" and happy holidays to the others.

Merdeka 2008

2008-08-29T15:12:00.001+08:00

Today we celebrate Malaysia's 51st National Day.

The children were in their best national costumes, namely baju melayu and baju kurung. It doesn't matter what they wear, they will always look cute. We sang several patriotic songs and when they chanted Merdeka, it was like being at the Padang on thee day itself. Such enthusiasm and spirit.

Activites

2008-07-04T14:10:00.000+08:00

Here are some photos of the children in action. These activities help the children to develop skills that will make them more independent.

Puppet Show

2008-06-09T19:59:00.000+08:00

It was the day after the Chocolate factory visit, kids are still in a holiday mood especially some SK children who are still having another one week official holiday and Aunty Val brought puppets from the fairy tale " The Emperor's New Clothes". I managed to take some video clippings of the puppet show which the children - SK children and a few 5/6 year olds managed to put up with just about 2 hours of practice! Hooray for Aunty Val.

Enjoy the video. If you want to see the rest, let me have your thumb drive.

Another party

2008-06-09T19:44:00.000+08:00

Danish Hakeemi had a party today to celebrate his 4th birthday and guess what, big sister Areefa wants to cut a cake as well thus making a joint celebration and the cake was wonderfully done by the baker who delivered it personally, Puan Zahida from Ninerecipes (check out Cakes Galore).

Speaking of parties, would appreciate if parents can consider 'healthy' stuff for the party packs as I do get requests to have items removed, which sometimes we cannot manage without 'offending' the wrapping.

Education

2008-06-09T19:04:00.000+08:00

Hi Parents

I heard on radio on about a website that can help parents find out more about Pre-school, Primary School, Secondary School as well as tertiary institutions. Many first time mummies may need help in the area of education for their children. Do go to http://www.ekl.gov.my and go to mygovernment - what attracted me about the advertisement is that you can actually register your child for school through this site ie. for Klang Valley areas. You can also find out the curriculum for pre-school and primary school.

An article in The Sunday Star of 8th June 2008 "Can't learn this ... " on page 8 of FIT4LIFE Section (SF7) gives an insight into several areas of learning disabilities. Though each child's learning ability differs, knowing our child's capability and incapability helps us provide early intervention thus helping our child in their life long journey of learning.

Also for new mums I found an interesting website : http://freshbots.com - environmental friendly, washable diapers - it's all about the environment.

Emilie said to me on the eve of the petrol price increase "what will be the price of petrol by the time I can have a car?" She is 16 this year .... so let's try to help conserve mother nature's resources, plant more trees and reduce pollution, so our future generation will still have something to appreciate and enjoy.

Factory Visit

2008-06-05T07:03:00.001+08:00

The day has finally arrived, 4th June 2008, a promised made has to be fulfilled. The children have been on their best behaviour and came to school early as expected. Beryl's Chocolate factory is located at the Seri Kembangan Industrial Estate, Serdang.

Getting there you can use the LDP towards UPM, go straight all the way till you see the factory building on the right.

We arrived exactly at 9am in a school bus and the school's van. The first view is the drum, we had no idea what it is, till later.

The programme began with a video presentation to show how chocolate is processesed. Beryl's chocolate uses cocoa imported from Ghana, other ingredients are locally obtained. Ingredients used are cocoa butter, palm oil, sugar and milk powder. A conching machine is used to mix all the ingredients together. The drum is used to make chocolate balls with assorted nuts or raisins in it.

We get to sample some chocolates before shopping for it. The variety is really wide though some are not on the supermarket shelves.

For example this one ..... got to try to experience a chocolate

with chilly flavour.

Now, what is this cow doing here? This is a display item on the grounds of the factory.

And when the shopping is all done, it's time to go home.

These are some other candid shots of the children.

Till the next trip.

It's the holidays

2008-05-26T16:09:00.000+08:00

It's the holidays!!! Time for aunties to take a break ... as for parents, take some time off to be with your kids.

I would like to thank parents who have been so thoughtful in giving us Teacher's Day presents, it sure feels good to be appreciated.

We didn't have a party to end the term but we had 2 parties - Amir's 3rd birthday and Syahmie's 5th birthday ... when it comes to birthday cakes, just look at the faces of anticipation ....

There are some additional features on the blogpage which I hope will be handy to you and if you do have more ideas to share, do drop a line.

Happy holidays ......

Cakes Galore

2008-05-15T07:47:00.000+08:00

Hi Parents

If you run out of ideas on what type of cake to get for your child, check out this working mum's fotopages, I am amazed at the skill and creativity (which is boundless) in making cakes that can put so many smiles on faces ... http://ninerecipes.fotopages.com

The cakes don't only look good, it tastes good too .....

Beryl's Chocolate Factory

2008-05-14T15:34:00.000+08:00

The kids are so excited that we have planned this visit - of course - a chocolate factory .... the word chocolate has made their mouth water, they really don't know what they are in for! Parents, be forewarned that they will be bugging you that the trip is tomorrow, tomorrow ... till the day comes.

Lyssa had her sixth birthday party at school recenly. Mmm .... don't you think the cupcakes are so yummy. I am amazed at the talent of the baker who manages to draw Strawberry Shortcake's Face on the tiny cups .... wow.

Just to remind parents, we will be having a short break from 24th May to 1st June. We will be back at school on 2nd June 2008 hopefully recharged and raring to go.

We will be also meeting up with parents to discuss your child's performance since beginning of the year and any other matters pertaining your child's progress and development.

Till next time ...

Activities

2008-04-21T20:36:00.000+08:00

Hello Parents

Yes, yes it's been a while but I am still alive and kicking. No excuses actually not to update the blog but really but I did have problems - I couldn't access the website and the camera broke ...

Of course we had a couple of birthdays which I couldn't record because of the reasons I mentioned above but here I have included some photos of children who celebrated their birthdays in the past month.

Heres Adieb Ramzy celebrating his 5th birthday, Aiman Hakim with his CARS cake celebrating his 5th birthday and Nuqman Aqeef celebrating his 4th birthday.

We would like to inform the following activities that will be taking place this year :-

2. Visit to MPSJ Kompleks 3C at Subang Jaya - theres a mini zoo and art gallery there

Till the next blog - soon, I hope.

February 2008

2008-02-01T07:18:00.000+08:00

Hello parents

We are now entering the second month of the year, all too soon. I am glad to inform that the children have settled down, most of the kinks have been ironed out.

Recently Muhd Miim celebrated his 3rd birthday party at school and lots of stuff were given in the goodie bag and the children were also treated to pulut kuning and rendang!

Speaking of goodie bag, I would like to share the following site : www.createmyowngift.blogspot.com just in case you are looking for some special things for birthday parties and even weddings.

Till more birthday parties .......

Standard 1 Registration

2008-01-23T18:44:00.000+08:00

Hi Parents

Just to share with you, if your child turns 5 this year (irregardless in January or December 2008), you can enrol him or her at the school (Sekolah Kebangsaan) of your choice. This is to ensure your child can get in to that particular school as some schools practice first come first served basis.

By the way, Sara Khadeija celebrated her 3rd birthday (belated - should have been in December) recently. Seems that she wants to cut her cake with all her friends and to give away party packs, oh the novelty of party packs.

All the best.

Dyslexia

2008-01-14T21:46:00.000+08:00

Hi Parents

It has been about 10 days of school now and we still have one or two children still missing mummy when they go to school, teardrops and resistance, a work out for Aunty Huda and company.

Which makes me wonder, how are the year ones doing at school? I don't think there are tantrums but I am sure they are going through a wavy period right now - what with the big crowd at school, more children in the same class and canteen! I believe canteen is the most exciting place to be at, at school and given the liberty to hold money, the real dollars and sen. Nothing like in play school. I do hope parents can share with me some of their child's first day experience, it will be interesting for those going to year one next year.

Yes, dyslexia - it is not a disease thus it cannot be cured, but it is a lifelong condition and with early intervention, most dyslexics can learn to read and write well.

Parents who are interested to know more can contact the following people from the Dyslexia Association of Malaysia : Teacher Rahmat at 019-2389657 or Teacher Jamilah at 016-3097829.
We also have some fliers at school for those who want to know more about it.

Welcome 2008

2008-01-06T09:59:00.000+08:00

Hello parents

Happy New Year to everyone. It has been 3 days of school and I hope we have managed to iron off the holiday creases .... it's not easy to go back to school after the holidays ... don't we all know that.

After 2 days of crying, new kids get tired of it whilst the 'older' kids just close their ears wondering why all this is happening - some forgot that they had their fair share of drama too last year.

To add some merriment, out comes the masks! Dragon, bee, ladybird, rabbit, chick, octopus ..... hee hee hee .. the kids just love them. We hope this year will be merrier and more fun than last year.

Each year is a new experience with the children. It's so wonderful to see them grow physically and intellectually. It's like watching a flower bloom, from a bud to a full bloom flower. Let's hope our buds will mature, flower and develop strong roots to help them grow further.

Do check out the interesting websites that we list from time to time and let me know of any you wish to share with other parents.

Photos and Video

2007-12-23T09:32:00.001+08:00

Hi Parents

I just remembered, finally I have printed the official photos, courtesy of En Iskandar - Sofea's dad. Unfortunately I cannot upload all the photos on to the blogpage, so the official album is now ready. There are some personal photos which I will mail direct to the parents, to view the official album, do drop by when school starts to have a look.

For the graduating class, I will make copies of the children's photos in their robes and whilst receiving their scrolls and will let you know when it is ready.

When the video is ready, I will notify you too.

2007-12-23T09:18:00.000+08:00

Hi Parents

http://www.mypositiveparenting.org/

Aunty Huda is bored! No children to run around with! I have been updating myself on past issues of tv sitcoms/serials and newspapers. And in today's Mingguan Malaysia I came across an article about 'PNEUMOKOKUS - any child related disease is interesting to me. Anyway this article was adapted from Positive Parenting Program managed by Malaysian Paediatric Association. Do read up this article as our child may have symptoms related to the disease which we are not aware of.

Visit the website which is rather interesting and has lots of information on children and child development. Let's help ourselves help our children.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Year end

2007-12-19T23:03:00.000+08:00

The year 2007 is drawing to a close.

We take this opportunity to wish the six year olds, all the best as they venture into the next step of their journey in the 'big school'. We believe we have prepared them well enough and with your support parents, we are confident they will be fine.

As for the other children, the journey at Tunas Suria continues into 2008 and we hope this coming year will be more fun and enjoyable.

We will see you back at school on Wednesday 2nd January 2008.

Happy Holidays .....

Water Play - Tuesday 18th December 2007

2007-12-09T22:24:00.001+08:00

Its water play time, something the children look forward to always. Despite the gloomy weather, the children were all excited and some came as early as 7.30am! Since so many were around, we started the ball rolling by 8.00am.....

It was the slide or the pool and lots of water all around.

We teachers know how to have fun too. It was de-stress time for us as much as it is for the children.

Visit to Balai Bomba Subang Jaya

2007-12-09T22:23:00.000+08:00

This firetruck costs RM1.3million! It is fitted with the latest, state of the art technology to help our fireman put out fire and carry out rescue missions.

We set off in the school bus on this lovely Friday morning, the excitement of getting to ride on the bus written all over their faces. Pak Awang the bus driver drove ever so carefully and we arrived safe and sound at Balai Bomba Subang Jaya.

We were given a briefing on the operations at the station and the children were given workbooks related to bomba activities. Many of the children want to be fireman, so they said when asked. Then we were told the night before the firemen caught a snake at a house in USJ20! I am sure they thought twice about it after that, you will see why later ...

We were then taken outside to see the firetruck and shown the various things on the truck like hose, pumps, valves, ladders, masks, nozzles etc etc lots of new vocabulary and of course uncle fireman demonstrated the siren sound ... music to the ears. Then the kids got to climb into (lifted into) the firetruck, it was so high - actually the wheel of the truck is as high as our 4-year olds, just imagine climbing up into the truck will be like climbing mini Mount Everest. The fireman demonstrated spiralling down the pole from the upper floor. The children got to try on the fireman's fireproof jackets with helmets.

The highlight was the demonstration how the fireman caught the snake ... after seeing the snake I am sure a few changed their minds about being fireman.

These photos were taken on Thursday, prior to the concert. Sorry Iman and Uzzaid, you were not around but I will have photos taken and uploaded later ok.

Tunas Suria plans to set up and alumni - well, we would like to know how the kids have progressed in the big school, its not so much about knowing how many A's or B's were scored, but to keep in touch and to follow their development. Parents do update me.

Dear Parents

Thank you for attending the concert together with family and relatives. I saw grandpas, grandmas, aunts, uncles and cousins all over the hall. I do hope you enjoyed what was presented to you.

Special thanks to En Masri and Pn Raja Shyra (Puteri Aina's parents) for doing up the backdrop banner. En Iskandar Dzulkarnain (Sofea's dad, she reminded me her dad's name has a D before Z) for taking the photos, En Muazzam (Nursarah's dad) who operated the videocam - which he said he 'bidan terjun', am sure it will be good. Kak Syikin (Irfan Hamdi's grandma) who cooked the food and Pn Sayrina (Sara K's mum) for the curry puffs, they were yummy.

We only guided the children, but it was they who put up the performance - special applause for their efforts. Most of what you saw happened just as we practiced (hmm....didnt Aunty Val said that too?).

Life is about learning and living - they learn and they live to tell. We hope photos of the events will help keep memories of the event fresh in their minds.

Lets hope in the future concerts we will have active parents participation in the frontline as well as backstage.

These photos were taken by my niece, Lulu - who came to visit - she fell in love with the children. I said how not to when the children are all so cute and they love the attention she gave them. Official photos and VCD will be shown / for sale when ready ... soon.

Meantime, smile at what was captured on our lenses yesterday.
