family day

an’s school organized a family day last fri, 26 may. he’s in the small class where they introduce mandarin to the kids before they start their formal mandarin schooling years. it was also report card day. he was assessed in mandarin, english, bm, maths & moral. tsk tsk tsk! can’t believe they start so young!

so the program for that day was…
1. friendly parent-child art competition between classes
2. assessment papers & report card given back to parents
3. lil gifts presented to all students
4. speech by the school principal
5. light refreshments
6. prize presentation for winners

like always, we made a fire truck for the parent-child activity. there were 4 categories to choose from & i chose to construct something out of recycled items. i brought a shoe box, 4 yellow buttons for the lights, blue paper for the windscreen & we cut out the rest from recycled paper – tyres & a ladder. we painted the box red & the tyres black. it was fun! i was back in school doing all the things i missed! we got our hands dirty & an had a streak of black paint on his thigh but it was all worth it!

i met his friends too. so cute! they wanted me to take their pictures & then look at it on the camera afterwards. one lil fellow waved at me while he was queuing up for food. cheeky but cute!

i became a kid again! what bliss!
