16th June 2009 was the date I started my Basic Childcare course or known as Kursus Asas Asuhan Kanak- Kanak (KAAK). This course is jointly organize by
Kolej DiKa and JKM to allow all day care providers to gain more knowledge in early childhood. This is a compulsory course required by JKM for those who wished to work or own a day care centre. This course lasted for 17 weeks and finally this month is my exam month.

My Ujian Amali 1 (Practical Exam 1) falls on this date. During this exam, we were tested on our ability to carry out the lesson plan. The lessons of the day were: Physical Development and Creative Development. My target aged group were the 3 years old for the physical development test. I had a relay game with them in which they have to run zig-zagged along the skittles and fill water into the empty bottle with a sponge.
On the other hand, the creative development test was a group test. There was a story telling by me with the title "I can spy something Under the Sea." Below are the pictures drawn by the kids:
Picture 1 drawn by 2 kids
Picture 2 drawn by another 2 kids
Picture 3 drawn by the final 2 kids.
Below are the materials used for story telling.

My Ujian Amali 2 falls on this date. This exam was meant to test us on our ability to carry out our Cognitive Development and Language Development Lesson plan. My target group were the 2 years old. They are young and challenging but it didn't stop me from doing what I need to do. Though I felt that I did a lousy job but Praise God for good comments from the facilitator. Thanks to all my friends who kept me in prayer while I sat for my exam. I believe that God has His hands on me while I did my exam.
Below are some of the things that I brought to the day care centre to do my exam.
1st test was on Cognitive Developement and I did the fixing of Humpty Dumpty:
The second test is on Language. Below is my fruit basket where I use it as a stall for the child to pick his choice of fruits.
That's all for now...Will update you guys soon!!!
