MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL
Term 3 was filled with many exciting events and activities that it passed by without us noticing it!
We collaborated with some of our community partners. The K1 children performed during the Mid Autumn event organized by
Jalan Kayu RC, while the K2 children participated in the Heritage Trail organized by Singapore Red Cross, just to name a few.
In this coming term, we will be involved in one of our biggest event, which is the K2 Graduation Concert. Our graduands are
counting down the days and busy preparing for their big day on stage. They are excited and eager to display their talents to their
parents!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parents for your gifts to all of us during the Teachers’ Day celebration. They
certainly put smiles on the teachers’ faces.
Let’s look forward to more engaging activities that have been planned for the children in Term 4!

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (Dec. 11, 2012) — Most children’s atopic dermatitis, often called eczema, does not have a clear
cause, such as an allergy, dermatologists say most eczema will improve with good skin care. Research shows that by
treating the eczema, the better the skin can function.
“With eczema, the skin can become very dry, itchy, and crack, which lets in germs that can cause skin infections,”
said Amanda Friedrichs, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist in private practice in Sycamore, Ill. “With
treatment, the protective barrier of the skin can be restored. Good skin care can go a long way in helping the skin
heal and prevent infection.”
To reduce the severity of and frequency of eczema flare-ups in children, Dr. Friedrichs recommends parents follow
these tips:
Bathing tips
• Bathe your child in warm, not hot, water.
• Limit your child’s time in the bath to 5 or 10 minutes.
• Use cleanser only when needed and make sure the
cleanser is mild and fragrance-free. Do not use bubble
bath.
• If your child’s eczema is frequently infected, twice-
weekly bleach baths may be beneficial. Discuss this
option with your child’s dermatologist.
• After bathing, gently pat your child’s skin partially dry.
• If your child has medicine that you apply to the skin,
apply medicine when your child’s skin is almost dry
and use the medicine as directed.
• Apply moisturizer on top of the medicine and to the
rest of your child’s skin.
Tips for choosing a moisturizer
• When selecting a moisturizer, consider choosing a
thick cream or ointment.
• Some children do better with fragrance-free products,
so consider petroleum jelly — an inexpensive,
fragrance-free product that works well for many
children.
• When selecting a product, “trial and error” sampling of
different types may help to identify the best
moisturizer for your child.
Skin care tips
• For best results, apply moisturizer at least twice a
day. This prevents dryness and cracking. It also can
decrease the need for eczema medications.
• If your child has severe itching and scratching, ask
your child’s dermatologist about wet wrap therapy.
This can reduce swelling and lessen the desire to
scratch.
• Keep your child’s fingernails short and smooth. This
decreases the likelihood that scratching will puncture
the skin. Putting cotton gloves on your child’s hands
at night may help prevent scratching during sleep.
• Keep temperature and humidity levels comfortable.
Avoid situations in which the air is extremely dry, or
where your child may sweat and overheat. This is the
most common trigger of the itch/scratch cycle.
Clothes-washing tips
• Using a laundry detergent made for sensitive skin may
be beneficial. Scented fabric softener or dryer sheets
may contribute to irritation.
• Only use the recommended amount of detergent.
• Use enough water for adequate rinsing.
• Buy clothes without tags because tags can rub against
the skin, causing irritation.
• Wash your child’s new clothes before wearing. This
will remove excess dyes and fabric finishers, which
can irritate the skin.

If you haven't had a good night's sleep since your baby was born, you're not alone. Sleepless nights are a rite
of passage for most new parents; but don't despair. You can help your baby sleep all night. Honestly!
Developing a rhythm
Newborns sleep 16 or more hours a day, but often in
stretches of just a few hours at a time. Although the
pattern might be erratic at first, a more consistent
sleep schedule will emerge as your baby matures
and can go longer between feedings.
By age 3 to 4 months, many babies sleep at least
five hours at a time. At some point during a baby's
first year; every baby is different ; he or she will start
sleeping for about 10 hours each night.
Have your baby sleep in your room
Ideally, your baby should sleep in your room with
you, but alone in a crib, bassinet or other structure
designed for infants, for at least six months, and, if
possible, up to one year. This might help decrease
the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Adult beds aren't safe for infants. A baby can
become trapped and suffocate between the
headboard slats, the space between the mattress
and the bed frame, or the space between the
mattress and the wall. A baby can also suffocate if a
sleeping parent accidentally rolls over and covers the
baby's nose and mouth.
Encouraging good sleep habits
For the first few months, middle-of-the-night
feedings are sure to disrupt sleep for parents and
babies alike. But it's never too soon to help your
baby become a good sleeper. Consider these tips:
1. Follow a consistent, calming bedtime routine.
Overstimulation in the evening can make it difficult
for your baby to settle to sleep. Try bathing,
cuddling, singing, playing quiet music or reading,
with a clearly defined end point when you leave the
room. Begin these activities before your baby is
overtired in a quiet, softly lit room.
2. Put your baby to bed drowsy, but awake.
This will help your baby associate bed with the
process of falling asleep. Remember to place your
baby to sleep on his or her back, and clear the crib
or bassinet of blankets and other soft items.
3. Give your baby time to settle down.
Your baby might fuss or cry before finding a
comfortable position and falling asleep. If the crying
doesn't stop, check on your baby, offer comforting
words and leave the room. Your reassuring
presence might be all your baby needs to fall
asleep.
4. Consider a pacifier.
If your baby has trouble settling down, a pacifier
might do the trick. In fact, research suggests that
using a pacifier during sleep helps reduce the risk
of SIDS.
5. Keep nighttime care low-key.
When your baby needs care or feeding during the
night, use dim lights, a soft voice and calm
movements. This will tell your baby that it's time to
sleep, not play.
6. Respect your baby's preferences.
If your baby is a night owl or an early bird, you
might want to adjust routines and schedules based
on these natural patterns.
