During the topic on ‘Transportation around our neighbourhood’, K2 children were involved in various activities. One of the activity was titled, ’Vehicle Snacks’. Children were given a variety of snacks, for example cream crackers, oreo biscuits, pretzels, wafers, bananas, m&ms and peanut butter. Children had prior knowledge of the types of vehicles that are found around their neighbourhood during their neighbourhood walk, library books and during lessons. Children used their imagination and were creative making trains, buses, aeroplanes, helicopter, boats, using the snacks given to them.


Nasha is carefully ‘glueing’ the wheel for the bus using peanut butter. She tells her friend,’ You must apply more peanut so that the wheels will not fall off’.

She is putting in her final touches to her bus.

See! I have done it!

Winnie is engrossed in making a train with the snacks. She used different kinds of biscuits to decorate her train. She wafers into square pieces to make ‘carriages’ for her train. She said,” My train can make the Choo! Choo! sound!”

Damien decided to make a sailboat. He used different coloured m&ms, oreo cookies, pretzels, wang wangs and wafers to create his masterpiece. He asked with a smile, "Teacher can I eat this later?"

Lai Jun Meng showed his patience and imagination by creating a ‘helicopter’ using a banana, pretzels, wafers and oreos. He was pleased at his handiwork as we can see from his expression.

More peanut butter!

Now I must stick the tail carefully.

I am making an ‘X’ on top and finally the wheels.

I can’t wait to eat this aeroplane!

"Look! My bus has two wheels in front and two wheels behind!”

“My bus can move very fast!”

“I can eat my bus now! Ha, ha, ha!”

During the lesson on ‘My school in the Neighbourhood’, Kindergarten 2 children were excited about making a ‘Box Town’. Children brought from home different sizes of boxes, paper tubes, egg cartons and other recycled materials for their artwork.


Jun Kexin is trying her best to fix the roof of her ‘flat’ that she had created. She tried using glue, but after a while gave up and used scotch tape instead.

Baxton, Calista and Adrianna are building their flat using different sizes of boxes and coloured papers. Baxton said ,”We must use black paper, cut small and make windows”

Winnie said,”I want orange roof because my real house has orange roof”.

Damien is fixing a green paper leaf to a toilet roll tube. He said,”I am making a tree for the box town”.

Children are engrossed playing at their’ Box Town’ which they had created. Damien is at the ‘fire station’ where the fire engine is going to put out the fire at one of the flat.

Xavier is at the ‘police station’ where the police car is chasing a thief. The other children are busy building a zoo and a road at another part of the Box Town.

Well done children!
