KH School Holidays Activity

At the end of the school week last November, we were quite nervous on what should the kids do during the entire 6 weeks of school break. Could not imagine on how my morning routine look alike in the next few days when the school will resume again – that is to say; I need to prepare both girls for their respective school as early as 6am (to wake them up and get ready for school) with their bekal ready. Fuh, I’d better be ready by now now now *mentally prepared*

So during this entire school break, we managed to get the girls to join several activities and holiday camps and thank God, they were very happy and enjoyed themselves.

First week (22nd – 26th November)

Enrolled Khayra (6y4m) for 5 days camp from 9am – 5pm at AIM Excellent (Arab / English / Maths). In this camp they focused more on musical theatre in English, subjects in Arabic and Maths, storytelling, one session on Junior Master Chef and motivation. They performed Solat Dhuha, Solat Zuhur and Solat Asar together every day.

Fees: RM100 including breakfast, lunch and tea break, stationery, gifts.

This is Khayra with her certificate and her group won 1st place for the theater at AIM Excellent.

Second week (29th November – 3rd December)

Cousins bonding week when their cousins from JB came back and stayed for a few days without their parents. Their first time away from parents and I had the chance to take care of F-O-U-R children at one time. Phewww. Haha.

Weekend of Second week (4th December – 5th December)

Was forced by my mom to join her grandfather’s family reunion. Nevertheless we had so much fun during the family day and brought back a few gifts. Celebrating their Wan’s (my MIL) birthday – breakfast at Hotel Seri Malaysia KT and having dinner at Duyong Marina & Resort (formerly known as Ri-yaz Heritage Marina Resort & Spa).

Third week (6th December – 9th December)

Enrolled Khayra for 4 days holiday camp at Mary Land with the theme: “Pets”

Activities:

ü  Introduction on types of animals

ü  Story telling on their handmade project (Paper Plate Photo Frame)

ü  Games, singing and dancing about pets song

ü  Project: Squishy Pillow (Khayra chose to made Bunny Squishy Pillow)

ü  Baking pet shape cookies

ü  Educational visit to MBK Pet Shop (field trip)

Fees: RM180 including meal break and materials (from 8.30am – 12.30noon)

Educational visit to MBK Pet Shop and they brought back 3 Gapi fishes, mini aquarium and fish food. They also had the chance to touch yellow snake, sugar glider, rabbits etc. So fun! 

Khayra always looking forward to join any holiday camp under Mary Land and had participated in several camps before since she was 4yo+.

Fourth week (13th December – 16th December)

Enrolled both Khayra and Hafiya for 4 days holiday camp at Mary Land with the theme: “Friends Forever”.

Actually the camp was for children 4yo and above but I personally requested to enroll Hafiya (3y2m) to join as well, as she begged us to join the camp. Hafiya heard so much fun stories from her sister, and every morning before sending out Khayra to Mary Land, she keep asking me whether she could join Khayra as well. Since that week camp was not being fully booked (up to 25 kids only per session), Hafiya was accepted to join Khayra, and we were so so so happy for her!

Activities:

ü Introduction on who friends are, where can make friends and why we have friends

ü Story telling on their handmade project (Brown Paper Bag Photo Album)

ü Games, singing and dancing “Hop Pop Stop”

ü Project: Handmade soap (Both Khayra and Hafiya chose to make Hello Kitty soap)

ü Baking: Buns, 3D Topping Cupcakes and sponge cake with fruits toppings

ü Field trip to post office to send out their handmade postcards to their best friends

(Note: They wrote Rania and Sophia names on the postcards and both received the postcards a day after by surprise! Rania and Sophia’s mum Whatsapp me of their surprised reaction when they received the postcards from Mr. Postman. So fun! On a different note: Parents of the campers need to provide the actual address of their friends to the teacher)

Fees: RM180 including meal break and materials (from 8.30am – 12.30noon)

Didn’t realize that Hafiya could concentrate very well in a baking class – her favourite! Glad that she enjoyed the camp as well. My baby is growing up fast. Tsk.
