ORIENTATION WEEK

Week 1 : Jan 2 - 4

FRIDAY THEME : RED

WHO'S READY FOR SHOW & TELL?



TOPIC : MY FAVOURITE RED ITEM

WE LEARN SELF-DISCIPLINE AS WE WAIT PATIENTLY ...

FOR TEACHER'S INSTRUCTIONS.

WE LEARN TO COOPERATE AS WE WORK IN GROUPS.

WE SIT QUIETLY WITHOUT INTERRUPTING ...

AND LISTEN TO WHAT OUR FRIENDS ARE SHARING.











There is a surprise in this red ball ...

(ta-dahh)   A red apple!












At this juncture, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all our parents for helping their child to dress in our Friday Theme and to help them select their red item for Show & Tell. Our first Friday Theme of the Year was an INSTANT SUCCESS the moment each child walked into the school in their red (or shades of red) outfit. It was totally overwhelming to see every single student parading in red and holding their red item. 

Thank you once again for helping us kick-start our first Friday Theme 2019 and Show & Tell session with such a BIG BANG positive energy!

Thumbs up to all our Pinocchio, Donald, Mickey and Bambi children and parents!

Dear Diary, 

Who would have thought that Week #1 of Orientation Week could turn out to be so totally amazing! Honestly, we could not have asked for a better week. It was so great to see all our children again in full force. Our new children who joined us blended in so very smoothly. Teachers are excited, children are excited. Why, there was just so much excitement in the air!

What a fantastic start to our academic year 2019!
