Children's Day Celebration & Dialogue

13 October 2013 (Sun):

A Children's Day cum Dialogue session was held in Chong Pang neighbourhood & everyone was invited to food & games. The kids registered for a colouring contest, hoping to win prizes. There were balloon scuplturing & a talk by Mr K. Shanmugam.

The centre stage

Lionel, Thyron & Rachel coloured as fast as possible becos all colouring sheets will have to be submitted by 5.15pm. It was already 4.45pm

But of cos, we had time for one or two photo shots :P

Balloon scuplturing which the children requested - a little poodle & 2 rifles.

" The VIP arrives & shook hands with the residents; as many as possible. :)

Giving a little speech on plans he have for the Nee Soon community.

Having fun.

Rachel was delighted to have won the 5th prize for category 6 years & below in the colouring contest.

Having fun, laughter & yelling for parents to help.

I remembered the kids were supposed to look for any pictures on Barney, be it on a bag, water bottle or shoes. Guess what? All the parents actually searched for the pictures online instead, using handphones thru Google or FB. Haha... The adults were more excited than the kids.

Lionel won the grand prize ( a FILA Sports Duffle bag worth $59.90 - the price tag was not even removed) when he showed what was asked for : an orange in colour Singapore currency note. Daddy has it & Lionel waved excitedly; right up the compere's face.... hahahaha...

Children's Day Fun

04 October 2013 (Fri):

Happy Children's Day & Congrats to all P6 students. PSLE is now over & you can relax & enjoy to the fullest. :)

A swim to begin with, followed by some fun at the playground & wushu lesson to wind down the day. Not much but all the kids enjoyed themselves.

CSTD Ballet Exam Open House 2013 - Primary Syllabus

03 October 2013 (Thurs):

Rachel & her peeps had their ballet open house this evening of which they will be showcasing the exam syllabus for Nov. Note the parents paparazzi...lol

I will post some videos soon as I am having a little uploading problem right now.

At one part of the training, Ms Wu got Rachel to step forward, sit down & faced the class. For a moment, I thought what mistake did Rachel made & that her teacher needed to correct. It turned out that Ms Wu was praising Rachel for showing her sweet smile & tummy tucked in, even while sitting down.

Ms Wu told me that Rachel had improved alot & she hopes that Rachel continues to show her passion for ballet.

Oh, here is a cute one. Another classmate, PX lost her upper front teeth & so she dared not smiled with her teeth shown. Ms Wu told her it is okay to smile & that it is a must during the exam for marks were allocated.

Rachel and some of her ballet classmates. Ms Wu, the ballet teacher cldnt resist taking a photo or two...haha.

I love these poses, especially the middle pose. Rachel looked so poise.

Right split, left split & front split. Ms Wu was commenting how it is that some of her girls were able to do the right split nicely but not the left split... lol

Lower Primary Sports Meet 2013

03 October 2013 (Thurs):

YPS had their lower primary sports day this morning. There were altogether 5 events for P2s - Rugby Challenge, Olympic Torch Run, Zigzag Challenge, Hula Challenge & LRT challenge. For the P1s, the only difference is the Mr Bean Challenge; the rest were the same.

I did not know Lionel was doing the 1st race & so I did not standby my camera. Could have slapped myself when I realised what was happening. Hiaz.

There was also the Parent-Child race in which i registered for Lionel & Daddy. Haha!

Overall, P2 Respect were the champions. Ermmm, no trophies or medals as all the events were team relays. Instead they got their usual gifts of notebooks, key chains, pencils, bookmarks...

Notices

28 September 2013 (Sat):

Hey folks, we are still around. Its just that there isnt any event nor outings to pen down. Yeah, I know this blog has been "ignored" for a month but well, things have been going real slow. So without further ado, i present to u our notices - the only thing that is coming in on us....fast...haha

First thing first, there seems to be quite a number of stuff going on in YPS for year end. We have the PSLE listening compre & exams that took place & ongoing... then there is the lower primary sports day held 1 day before Children's Day on the 03 Oct. Children's Day is a school holiday so no lessons on that day. (Long weekend for the kids)

Then there is the PSLE marking for a whole week - 14 ~ 18 Oct. All pupils need not attend school. Hari Raya, another public holiday which falls on the 15 Oct. No sch again. The SA2 papers for the P3s - P5s begins on 10 Oct & continues on 22 Oct again... weird planning. Hey, what about the P1s & P2s??? No mention.

Another PH, Deepavali which falls on 02 Nov & lastly, the prize presentation day & P1 orientation day on the 15 Nov.

The K2 also have their program listed. The graduation ceremony cum concert falls on the 30 Nov @ Republic Poly. This year, the concert's theme is "Circus"

$25 per ticket & I got 3 for us... My K2 little princess will be graduating this year. Woohoo!

Side note: the K2s are having their year end paper on the 23 - 25 Oct.

TSOD, Yishun will be having its CSTD ballet exam open house for the primary level on the 10 Oct. It will be showcasing the exam syllabus & discussions on the exam preparations. ( Date has been brought forward to 03 Oct instead. Exams will be held sometime in Nov. Gosh! I hope it does not clash with the P1 orientation date.

Lastly, TSOD will be having its concert, Peter Pan - Live Your Dreams at SCGS, Khoo Auditorium on 07 & 08 December.

So many stuff cramped into my already "fried" brain. I need air!
