Science Inspire Day

It is Renee's school's Science Inspire Day today and parents are invited to join their kids at school.

This event/project's presented mainly by the older students of the school and as before, we were greeted by some of the older kids at the school gate, ushering/informing us to where we were supposed to register our attendance and, where we were to gather.

First, parents and students were led by each class' form teacher to the 1st 'station' - where the P5 students presented their work to the P1s, group by group.  Due to the lack of time, Renee's group only managed to 'listen' to 3 groups, out of 4, - (1) 'Making An Object Float' and (2) UV Light and (3) Density, before we were being led to another room where a shadow puppet show was presented.

This is the station her group missed...

and the group got bigger when another class joined in...

Parents were invited to join the kids at tea-break and though I've already taken my breakfast(after dropping her off earlier), it's still nice to be able to join them at the canteen

Renee had requested the night before, that she be allowed to buy food from the school today, citing that I could dictate what she should buy but, she didn't wait for me to do so this morning and bought 1 of her favourites - the burger, hahaha(her friends bought the same!)

The 3 buddies 

When they're done with eating, Renee just ran off with her friends and I was left alone, wondering where they've gone to, then I saw her entering here ...

This must be the piano the Principal had told us about,

where students often displayed their music talent, :)

So far, from the few occasions that I've visited the school, I've observed that the older students seem to take good care of the younger ones, even the boys!  The gentle way they spoke to the P1s painted a nice example for the younger ones to learn from and of 'cos, there had been a few incidents whereby Renee was treated roughly(like an older girl had pushed her from behind for no reason, causing her to fall onto the ground dur recess one day) but if the majority of the children has learnt/been taught to behave this nicely(perhaps we were only shown their best side on these occasions? hahahahaha), then such a caring environment's an added reason for her to stay put there...(we've also been told  by some parents whom had done comparison on schools' work, that this school seems to have good worksheets that are prepared by the respective HODs, but their workload seem to be abit on the heavy side...).  Anyway, it might be too early to tell now and with other factors involved, we still have to keep our minds open, :D.

*poor Rachel's super tired today, being woken up at such an early hour, after only a 6hr sleep...
