THE BLUE HOUSE is one of the few schools in Singapore implementing the
Reggio Emilia curriculum. The Reggio Emilia approach is not child centered or teacher directed. It is child originated and teacher framed.

| Cardboard tunnel with Christmas lights #1 |
She crawled halfway through the tunnel with much encouragement (with me at the other end) and then u-turn and crawled out of it. She sat there for quite sometime awed by the pretty sight.
Cardboard tunnel with Christmas lights #2
The #2 time we were there, she crawled in and even stayed inside for a while.

| She is afraid of this mirror prism - too overwhelming #1 |
G is scared of this and couldn't understand why there are so many of herself all over the place. She was always at the edge. Even when I carried her with me and sat in the middle, she would quickly crawl out of it.

| #2 at the prism |
She is not as afraid the second time we were there. We stayed inside together for a minute longer :)

G dug out some soil with her fingers and ate some of it. She went back again for more and I stopped her.
The second time, she ate some soil again!

Mommy wants to get such a lightbox table at our new house. It costs more than S$300 to buy online from US. (excluding shipping and taxes) Should I, should I not?
Papa bought a 6 sessions package at the Blue House. So we'll be going back for more activities next month. Each session consist of an hour is $25. Thankfully, it's 6 sessions and not more because venue is a challenge. Have to literally take a cab to and fro because of it's inaccessibility. This is a beautiful school for children and I am committed to bring some of the inspiration back home.
