A Detour Down Memory Lane

On Thursday morning, Casey came to visit Mrs Poh and Ms Wong, who were both form teachers of her graduating class of 2013. Unfortunately, she didn't get to see them because the teachers were given that day off. Never mind, Casey. You can meet them during the Open House.

A little disappointed, but don't worry, you will get to meet the teachers soon!

Digging through our archives, here's a little trip back in time to 2009, the year Casey joined us as a toddler. Enjoying a trip to the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden.

Siblings Tricia and Titusz had more luck on Friday, managing to catch the teachers before they left for the afternoon.

But they had earlier in the month came searching for the school's location somewhat late in the evening. Target located, recce successfully completed!

Tricia, like Casey, is now in Primary 2. But it's always therapeutic to relive the happy and carefree days of preschool.

When you're this little, like Tricia in 2009, you have other priorities on your mind, like what/who should I play with next at the playground.

Titusz, one year younger than his sister, pores over previous years' photos with mum Stella.

We have to go some way back to 2010 when you still had those baby cheeks.

And so a photo to capture the happy memories of reunion.

Patter of little feet

We're not quite twiddling thumbs here, but it's just frustrating that we cannot start operating as yet even though we are all set up and ready to go. All of us who are in this profession derive our energies from the laughter of young children and the patter of little feet. We feel rather listless when there is no contact with children for a prolonged period of time.

So we are thankful for the two families who brought their lovely little girls to view our premises during the past two days, and even more excited with the afternon visit of three young ladies and their parents.

The girls came over after their schoolday. They didn't get to come in when they dropped by a few months back during the early days of the renovation works, but today we are able to host them under more hospitable circumstances.

After a tour of the premises, the girls were ushered to our Art Room where Mrs Poh and Ms Wong introduced them to kinetic sand, which looks like real sand, works like real sand, and is used for indoor sand play.

The kinetic sand occupied them for quite awhile, after which they were able to show the interesting things that they created with the plastic moulds. It's almost like we're at the beach!

Together with a few more of their friends, Sofia, Gwyneth and Ailey will be performing a song item for our forthcoming Open House. Today, they gave a rather shy rendition of the performance, but they will be boosted by the presence of their friends on the actual day.

A group photo to end a really enjoyable day of catching up. We'll see you again during the Open House.

As always, thank you to the parents for their contributions to our growing collection of books, toys and resources. These are in excellent condition (and some are brand new too).

As well as outdoor toys like this 3-wheeler that we picked up from Ailey's home a week earlier.
