Year-end party & last day in TJC

The year-end party (and Yan Yan’s last at TJC…sob sob) was held on the last day of school.  The theme, as per the year-end concert, was Fairy Tales, so most children were dressed in their garbs from the concert, except Yan Yan and her classmates since they performed the lantern dance.

With some of her classmates...most will be going separate ways after this :-(

Farewell and thank you TJC…it’s been a fantastic three years.

ASP concert

This year, we enrolled Yan Yan into the ASP (After School Program).  The week after her graduation concert, the kindy organized its annual ASP concert.

It was a simple affair with marching in of the students, national anthem, followed by a short speech by the principal.  The six-year old students then went on stage to receive their graduation scroll before the performances began.

Yan Yan’s kindy graduation

Yan Yan’s kindy alternately organizes between a big-scale concert and sports day each year.  This year is the year for sports day so the graduation ceremony and concert for the graduating six years old was only a low-key affair.  The theme for the graduation concert this year was “Fairy Tales”.

As usual, it started with the marching in of the students, followed by the national anthem.  Then, three students delivered the welcome speeches in English, Malay and Chinese.  The principal, Teacher Ting Ai and Pastor Chris Kam took onto the stage with their speeches before presentation of scrolls to the graduating classes.

The performances started after that with a choral performance of Three Little Pigs, plays on Cinderella and Goldilocks, and lastly a Chinese lantern dance.
