As something new this school year. All students have raincoats and rainboots at school, which can be worn on days with a little rain or wet grass outside.

The addition to the uniform items allows us to keep daily routines of outside play and morning exercise and it also presents children with a unique learning opportunity. To feel how nature changes, its more vibrant colors, smell and texture when wet and to enjoy a sense of capable responsibility as we get dressed and brave into the outdoors together with our trusted teachers and friends.

Today was one of the first days where our philosophy of "more outside time" was put to the test and with a glorious and resounding "yes, we like it!" children had fun outside and we suspect there will be a lot of happy stories to tell over the coming Mid-Autumn holiday.

Sincerely,

Newton Kindergarten



Ms. Shining and N-207 students outside with their raincoats and rainboots on


Enjoying the feel of raindrops in our palms


It is fun to be outside on a day with a little rain


Children experience what it is like walking in the shallow rain-water in our canal


It's wonderful to splash around


All Newton Hui Xin students have rainboots and raincoats at campus for days like today


Teachers also wear raincoat and use an umbrella to help children dress correctly


K2 students splashing on the astro-turf on the playground


we can still go outside and move around, even when its a little wet


Everything feels a little different and new when the weather change. It's exciting!


what an amazing day! Being outside and having fun... in the rain!
