Last Thursday was LSK's Sports Day - Nadine's first Sports Day. But the pre-nursery kids did not participate in any sports activities. They're probably too young. They did march into the hall with the kids.
It was quite amazing to watch all these young kids walking into the hall in such an orderly manner, even though there were so many parents around, and even though they knew that their parents were in the audience!
The older kids "competed" in a series of events that showcased the motor skills they've mastered over the last few months (years for the older ones). Their principal kept stressing to the parents in the audience that these kids had really practised hard and come a long way, and each and every one of them ought to be encouraged and praised for what they had achieved.
There was a segment in which parents competed with their kids. It was awesome to watch such enthusiastic and supportive parents.
Although the Pre-N kids did not take part in the sports events, they participated by selling their handicraft and raising funds for St. Luke's Hospital. What a wonderful way to teach little kids to care and share, and that no matter how young they are, they can do their part for the less fortunate.
Nadine was super happy and proud to see Daddy, Mummy and Aaron. She kept telling her friends, "look, look, that's Aaron, my brother .... so cute!"
Daddy and Mummy noticed that there was a board full of dolphins, and each dolphin had a child's name. Some had more stickers than others. Nadine's dolphin has many stickers. Her form teacher, Mrs Chiam, told us that these dolphins are to help the children recognise their names. Hmm .... do they really recognise their names, or the positions of their dolphins? But whatever it is, Daddy and Mummy are proud that Nadine has so many stickers.
Can't wait for next year's Sports Day, when Nadine will be participating in the sports activities!
