Dear parents,

It was nice to meet everyone again during our Harvest Festival.  The children enjoyed making bread for snack and doing their presentation.  I hope you enjoyed their presentation and the puppet show.

We had Sara and Stefan’s graduation just before Deepavali & Hari Raya.  They began preparing for their graduation a month earlier.  Their presentation on that day was great.  They were confident and performed very well together.  Well done, Sara and Stefan!  Seeing them sitting next to each other and doing so well together, a class child asked if they were getting married.  Like the child, I was truly touched by Sara and Stefan during their graduation ceremony.

From the end of October, the display corner was transformed into a colourful joint display for Deepavali & Hari Raya.  We had gold embroidered saris, a Rangoli (coloured rice motif), colour wax lamps and green display ‘ketupats’.  On 10th November, Teacher Chithra told the children a Deepavali story and we had Indian kuih after the story for morning snack. Later for lunch we had satay with ketupat (traditional Malay food) and the children sang the Hari Raya song.

We are now preparing for Christmas.  Enclosed are songs for the Christmas Festival.
