This week marks the end of the 'school' term and since Renee's only on the twice a week's schedule, today(or rather, yesterday) was the last day for her class at the centre.
We were told to bring along some new or old books to share and whilst on our way there in the taxi, I took the opportunity to remind her about 'sharing'/'giving'(yesterday, when we were shopping after our breakfast meet/fun-time with her playgroup friend, I've briefly talked to her about 'giving' when I gave her a S$5 note to put into the salvation army donation tin). Its result/effects was even captured in photography during the party! lolz
Over the wkend, when we were at the supermarket, she took a box of X'mas candies and replied YES when I asked if she wanted to get them for her friends. She couldn't wait to distribute them and started asking for them just before the class started and I've to cool her excitement off by assuring her that we can do so during the party or after the session lolz.
The first half of the session was merely a repetition on the last letter of the zoo phonics and songs, followed by the class party to end the day/term.
There were plenty of food, drinks, balloons, bubbles, gifts, goodie bags etc and the kids really really enjoyed themselves sooooo much! :D
Needless to say, lotsa photos and videos were captured by most mommies and I've got some pretty good ones myself hehehe.
A child development assessment book was also given to kid(s) whom has been with the centre for 6 mths and above and since Renee joined in End May/Beginning of June '07, she qualifies for one too!
Ok ok I know, it's time for Renee to go to a school where she can start her academic learning (since I don't teach her at all at home) and not just play and fun like the playgroups in GUG... but I've not decided on which pre-school to send Renee to next year and have yet to retend my research hahaha, so probably will have to enrol her after the CNY break hee hee hee.
I've shortlisted Kinderland though, cos they have very good reviews and they have branches which are non childcare facilities that are nearer to our place. Although their fees is slightly higher(S$1,070 for sch fees only, excl. uniform, etc) than GUG's but at least we get to cut down on the travelling time - the nearest branch that's not a childcare centre's at Serangoon. We've not viewed the school's premise and have yet find out more about its curriculum but the one thing I dun like abt them is their ugly uniform hahaha. However, if it really live up to its reputation, then I guess, the outlook of the uniform would be secondary then... :p
Meantime, we've been invited by some mommies, to meet up for some play-'dates'/parties, so we're just gonna have some fun-time before that!
