Thank you for attending our Harvest Festival. We truly appreciate your support for this event. We were very encouraged when we saw the children coping well during this festival. Most of the children are in the younger age group yet they were able to show forth their talent in multiple languages. They learnt well by imitating the teachers during daily ring time.  Finally, they stood in front of all of you singing and moving in rhythm. Some of them are still not ready to face an audience yet but that is alright. They will be ready one day. However, they enjoyed singing and moving along with the rest of the children while they were practising in the classroom.  For a few days after the Harvest festival, they were still talking about the Mr. Frog and the Water Dragon, the two characters from the Harvest Puppet show. It showed that they really paid attention and enjoyed the puppet show very much.

Recently, we had a Lunch Box Day. Some of the parents wondered what this special day was about and why the children were so excited.  It was a special picnic day where the kitchen staff set up a “Lunch Box shop” in the garden. The children made ‘wallets’ and ‘money’ during the morning artistic activity. They were excited because they started the countdown a week ago and finally the day arrived! When children noticed the lunch box shop set up during the outside play, they surprisingly requested to shorten the duration of outside play.  They were more curious in the readily available lunches that were neatly packed in compartment boxes. Then, they all queued up patiently in the garden ready to “buy” the delicious  lunches from Aunty Anny who was the “chef” on that day. They enjoyed their picnic lunch in the garden. It was a new experience for them.
