 Dear parents, 

We had a wonderful Lantern Festival with you all. We were so glad that all the children attended that festival. Your cooperation is very much appreciated. 

The class was already in the festive mood a few days before the festival. We had been praying for good weather on the day before we started to rehearse our singing and dancing. Few days before, children were busy making small paper lanterns to decorate our garden. 

On that morning, children made dango, a Japanese desert that was served as snack during our festival. We hope you enjoyed it. After the lunch, children helped to tie plastic bags on chair legs to protect them from soil in the garden. 

We were glad that all the children came on time in the evening. The garden became alive after the children hang the colourful small paper lanterns and that set the festive mood. 

All children were trying their best to perform. But some new comers were still shy in front of the crowd, let’s give them some time and they will blossom in future. We were glad to see the big children stood up confidently as they recited the Hokkien poem. 

After snack time, children’s handmade lanterns were lit up with candles. Children enjoyed the lantern walk and they were able to walk for the long distance. Thanks to parents who helped to take care of the children’s safety. We hope that you and your family enjoyed the evening as we did. 

Children are making their painting bag now. We collected their paintings and drawings for them to bring home before school holidays. We enjoyed to see each of their master piece that reveal their developments and inner growth. Please take note that some of their drawings were given to friends as birthday gift or farewell gift. You may use their paintings as decoration on wall, fold them to make card, paper bag, or photo frame. Keep their drawings for years and you will be amazed how they change from time to time. 

The term break is coming soon, we wish all the children happy holidays. Please spend more time in the nature and limit their screen time. We encouraged children to help for some simple households e.g. fold cloths, wash dishes and clear up their toys. We hope they will have a wonderful time with you during their holidays.
