Bintang Damai Kindergarten Open Day

On 27 June 2010, Faiq's school, Bintang Damai Kindergarten organised an open day. At first I was kind of upset because I had to go to Kuantan on that day. Luckily, the meeting due on Monday was cancelled.

I was worried that Faiq will not wake up that day as he had a late night the day before with Feera and Is. He woke up without a fuss at about 8.15 a.m. I think he was excited as I was as he had been asking me so many times when I'll be going to his school.

We arrived at his school just before 9 a.m. Most of the parents have not arrived. I think the event started at about 9.30 a.m.

The parents

The children

The principal, Ms. Shaheen gave her speech followed by a performance from the baby class which consists of 3 and 4 year olds. As the children are very young, you can imagine a few screams from children who are not used to big crowds.

Honestly I can't remember what they sang. After the performance, it was time for Faiq's class (Junior Star)performance followed by the Bright Star class performance. Junior Star sang Bingo whilst Bright Star sang Once I Caught a Fish Alive.

After the individual class performance, all the children gathered to make a special performance in conjunction of Parents Day. Together they sang You are My Sunshine, Ibu and Daddy I Love You. It was very sweet and I was touched. After the performance, the children were given a flower and a thumb-up sign to be presented to their parents.

After the performance, the parents were invited to view their children's classroom and their work, mingle with other parents and collect their report card from the teacher. Faiq's teacher commented that his weakness is in writing and that we need to train him how to hold his pencil properly. Other than that, she informed us that Faiq likes to volunteer, could read well and a bit talkative. Why am not surprised when yours truly was crowned Ratu Cakap back in her school days..hihihi!

Faiq with his friends

We left at about 11 a.m. after chatting with other parents whilst Faiq played with his friends. It was avery meaningful experience for both me and Rafiq. We are so looking forward to see his development and progress as he grows.
