Dear parents,

I was glad to meet those of you who attended our sports day in April. The children and families members looked so energetic and cheerful together. I hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did.

Sports day

Four teachers from Nania attended the 2nd Asian Waldorf Teachers’ Conference held in Bangkok at the end of last month. The other Malaysians were a couple who plan to open a kindergarten and two kindergarten teachers from Kuala Lumpur. We met about 230 people from all over Asia.

During that conference, I had an opportunity to discuss with other kindergarten teachers about children’s development and how we can nurture them. I was so excited when I had a chance to experience Eurythmy for the first time. During the nights, we were entertained by participants’ performances. We had a glimpse of how different countries celebrate different festivals and organize class activities. I appreciate your understanding which allowed us to take special holidays for that conference.

We had a fire drill on 22nd May (Tuesday) with the children. A boy noticed that the siren was blaring. I told the children that we have to leave the class immediately. Children stopped their play and followed the teachers. We gathered in the garden where later Uncle Ong explained the use of the fire extinguisher to the children. Some children started to role play as firemen in the class after the drill ended.

The school term break is around the corner, I wish you happy holidays. Please take note that we only have one week holiday while the government schools have two weeks.
