Dear Parents,
New year greeting from Nania. Now that the holidays are over we are looking forward to the 2004 school year. The new comers are still in the process to settling into the class while the other children are happy to see and play with their friends again. It is so nice the garden is filled with laughter and to have the children running around after the long break.

Chinese New Year is coming soon. In Nania the children start to practice drumming, singing and dancing. When the children sing the Chinese New Year songs the whole school becomes lively with New Year mood. Decoration has been set up as well. Chinese New Year is the time where everyone comes together as family to prepare and celebrate a new year wishing for health, happiness and good luck.

Best wishes to you all and may we have a wonderful year together.
Gong Xi Fa Chai.

Children's activities
Before we were away for holidays last year a pair sunbirds made a nest near the English class. The children had seen how the nest has been made. There are 2 baby sunbirds in the nest now. The children are very excited to see mummy sunbird and daddy sunbird bring food for the baby birds. It is such a wonderful experience for the children. Do drop by one day and visit the sunbirds.

A baby tortoise was injured one day. I told the children that I was going to send the tortoise to the hospital. A little girl come to me and said: " Teacher Lin, my father is a doctor. He can look after the tortoise."Later, most of the children said that their fathers were doctors too.
