Imagine a classroom where laughter and learning go hand-in-hand. That’s what it’s like at LaunchPad Global School. Every day is a new adventure, filled with exciting activities that spark curiosity and creativity.
A Creative Corner: Pencil Power and Number Play
One of our favourite things to do is to play with colorful pencil cards. It’s like a little art project where our young learners get to express themselves and practice their fine motor skills. Another fun way to learn is with our interactive number chart. It’s like a game where kids can touch, count, and explore numbers in a hands-on way.
How these activities build skills
Pencil cards and number charts are more than fun: they build pencil grip, hand-eye coordination, early numeracy, and concentration. Teachers guide children through short, focused tasks (3–10 minutes) to keep attention high and learning steady. These quick wins boost confidence and make follow-up learning easier.
Building a Strong Foundation: Exploring the World
We also believe in building a strong foundation in general knowledge. Through games, stories, and activities, we help our students learn about the world around them and become curious thinkers.
4 Advantages of Building a Strong Foundation: Exploring the World
- Fosters Curiosity and a Lifelong Love of Learning
- Promotes Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills
- Enhances Cultural Awareness and Understanding
- Prepares Children for a Globalised World
Practical classroom examples that support these advantages
- Curiosity: Weekly “Why?’ corner where children ask a question and choose a short activity to find answers.
- Critical thinking: Simple puzzles and sorting games that require children to explain their choice.
- Cultural awareness: Storytime with books from different countries + simple celebrations of festivals.
- Global readiness: Basic map activities and games that introduce other languages and daily life in other places.
Learning with Hands-On Fun: Hand Prints and Numbers
One of our most unique activities is using hand prints to learn numbers. It’s a fun and memorable way for kids to associate numbers with shapes and patterns. By painting their hands and creating colorful handprints, children can see how numbers can be represented visually.
This hands-on approach makes learning numbers more engaging and helps children develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. Additionally, this activity encourages creativity and fine motor skills as children experiment with different colors and designs.
Learning outcomes parents can expect
After repeated hands-on activities like handprint numbers, parents typically see:
- Improved counting confidence (1–20 range for many children aged 4–5)
- Better fine motor control for writing readiness
- Stronger ability to follow multi-step instructions
Teacher profile & safety measures
Our teachers are trained in early childhood pedagogy and child safety. We maintain a low teacher-to-child ratio to ensure individual attention. Health and safety include daily health checks, sanitized learning materials, and secure drop-off/pick-up procedures.
What parents can do at home to support learning
- Read for 10 minutes daily and ask one question about the story.
- Count everyday items (plates, steps) to reinforce numeracy.
- Give crayons and open-ended art time to strengthen fine motor skills.
