RAD Grade 4 Exam

Slowly and surely, she can make it to the higher grade... As long as she's enjoying it, I've no grouses :) I'm v proud of this wonderful daughter of mine. She's v sensible, and has v high EQ. When she speaks, she will weigh her words carefully. I thank God for this lovely girl, thank God for nurturing her, growing up in grace! :)

Tales by 3 Women

Waiting to unravel the tales by 3 women. Singapore writers have come a long way and many seems to be ex-teachers... Hmm... Gets me thinking... Maybe I should do a career switch too, but then I think I don't have that calibre and patience... Hahaha. My wishful thinking...

Master Class & The Colour Purple

Rb's having his Master Class today and it's also Autism Awareness Weekend. The colour purple symbolises solidarity for people with special needs. We want to remember the special people in our lives, hence The Colour Purple for today. God bless them all

Holistic Education : P5-6 Games / Sports Day

With SA1 coming early, I am really like a Gan Cheong  spider, worrying whether the school can complete the syllabus in time. In a way, I'm happy that they had a P5-6 sports meet, good to diffuse the tension and have fun. The girls really enjoyed themselves. It makes me think about what I want in my kids education: an academic-driven or a holistic curriculum? I choose the latter! 😄 Having said that. I still cannot help but get sucked into the system sometimes, pushing her with many worksheets. I hate myself for doing that but then I'm also worried that she has lots of gaps to close up esp in math. Her relaxed nature doesn't help, only makes me more frustrated. Seeing her tears and her smiles, I'm reminded that she's only a 10+ yo child. Sigh. That's the dilemma of a teacher-tigermom 😅🐯👩

The happy champion! And happy with the Milo truck, free Twiggies and ice cream too! Haha :) 

Indeed, God's Faithfulness through all generations! Amen to that!

Yey! Well done Pb & Lee House! :)

Such cute lanyard! :)

Led by the Sec 1 girls :) The Lee contingent! :)

The Dorsworth contingent :)

The Chew contingent! I love this banner! Hahaha!

The Archer contingent :)

The Sec 1 girls leading the rest of the P5-6 girls in the Paga Paga dance :)

Pb said that the Sec 1 girls also presents their own dance which was v impressive and "much more complicated. Our Paga Paga dance is simpler in comparison" (in her words) haha :)

Voices of Singapore Festival 2016

The last time Pb's choir performed in Victoria Concert Hall last year, papa couldn't attend because only 1 ticket was given by the school. However, this time round in Voices of Singapore, parents are invited to go and I encouraged papa to go, to watch and support pb's choir. I was unable to go coz I had to accompany gong gong for his lymphatic growth check up. Papa had a great time admiring the angels singing. It was his first time listening to Pb's choir and he was deeply impressed! He said that they sounded like angels singing! Heehee 😄😄😄 

Catching up in March Holidays

Term 1, flashed, gone! Both pb and rb had SYF PRACTICES in March holiday and we hardly had any time for revision and closing up learning gaps in Term 1. On Wed, while Rb was having his String Orchestra CCA, I told pb to come along with me so that we can do holiday homework and  revision together. Pb's an obedient girl and she obliged willingly. even though it was just revising of school work, we love to spend such "us" time together :) 

The Story of Claypot Rice

When I was young, my dad often take us to Chinatown to enjoy a meal of Claypot rice. Now, it's my turn to return the treat. Somehow, the Claypot rice does not taste as nice as before, but we still enjoy ourselves v much. It must be the bonding that made the food taste better. Have you given your parents a treat recently? If you haven't, please do so. Cherish them when they're still around.

2016 Sentosa Kids Flea Market

It was an excellent learning opportunity for Pb and Rb. From this experience, Pb and Rb has learnt some skills in handling the customers, especially Pb. When a customer gave a big note when he/she has bought something, I see her trying to encourage the customer to buy some more so that she can clear her goods, and to reduce the change that she needed to return. I also see my kids having more confident in speaking to people and going around to sell their things, not just restricting to the stall. They ventured out in groups or pairs and approached friendly customers with politeness. They also learnt how to promote their merchandise and they also discovered the importance of learning Chinese coz many customers were Mandarin speakers!!!! Next year, we shall do this again!

Setting up stall.

Linda's children and niece/nephew came to help out :)

Tough work and lots of valuable lessons learnt! :) their well-deserved certificates :)
