Dear parents,

After waiting for so long, finally we could celebrate the Lantern Festival with parents in Nania’s garden again. We were so glad that almost 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. A day 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 damage.

The children also helped to hang the small paper lanterns in the garden. The garden became alive with the colourful lanterns and that set the festive mood. We could feel how eager the children were for the event.

We were glad that all the children came on time in the evening. They were trying their best to perform in front of the crowd. 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.

Some children couldn’t join us on that evening, so we did a Little Lantern Festival in the class when they were back to school. Young children who were shy on that evening could perform better when we celebrated the festival in the classroom as the atmosphere is cozier for them.

Enclosed with this newsletter is the song sheet for coming festivals. We will sing the songs and recite the poems after holidays.

Children made their painting bag last few weeks. We collected their paintings and drawings for them to bring home. 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 just around the corner, 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.
