It's been a rewarding 2007...

Dear Children and Parents,

It's been a hectic but fulfiling year for me. This is my 2nd year teaching a Primary 1 class and I still enjoy the experience of guiding the little ones as they step into their beginning year of formal schooling. Their cute faces (this class is a very good looking class indeed! look at the slide show on the right and you will know what I mean!) and quirky antics in class always makes me smile even though they can make me exasperated many a time. It's amazing how much I've learnt from the children as well. Hopefully, this year had been a memorable one for all of us.

I would like to thank all parents for their support and encouragement throughout this one year. I'm glad that we have used the various means of communication, be it emails, calls or through the blog and homework diary to convey our views and opinions to each other. Thank you for appreciating my efforts. Your kind words and gestures are very encouraging to me.

May the rest of 2007 be filled with happy moments and here's wishing us all an advanced Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Our Top Pupils & Last Class Party

Dear all,

I would like to congratulate all 1 Courage top prize winners! They are Ying Xuan, Samantha and Gini. They have been consistent in their work all year round and have achieved excellent results in their examinations. Their conduct in class is exemplary as well. They are more than worthy being our class top 3! Amazing girl power! Well done, my sweeties~

Last Class Party

Aniq's Birthday Celebration!

We celebrated Aniq's birthday in advance last Wednesday in the canteen. (His actual birth month is in December!)
Happy Advance Birthday, Aniq! Mr and Mrs Shukor packed a full home-cooked meal, consisting of spagetti, sausage, chicken wing and a packet of drink for each child! The children were also treated to a delicious cake and given wonderful goodie bags. On behalf of the class, I would like to thank Mr and Mrs Shukor. Enjoy the photos!

GATHERING

Mrs Choo (Elkan's Mom) has suggested to me to have a gathering for all parents and children of 1 Courage for the last time before the children part to move up to their respective P2 classes. =(

Some ideas are:

1) Barbaque at Bishan canal

2) Show and Tell (Children to tell of their experience in 1C)

3) Gift exchange

I would however, need the help of more parents to organize this get-together. Kindly email me if you are interested. Reply me with your email address and contact number if possible. I will be collating a list of interested parents' contact details and will send out a mass mail. Communication will be much easier in that way. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
