Gala de Chambrelent 2009

Avril's school had a Gala on 26th June 2009 which also marks the end of the school year and the start of summer holidays. Although the last day of school is on 2nd July 2009 but all schools will hold this event annually. The gala includes dance, games and food for the kids...

This year is a special year for Avril's form teacher, Agnes who is also the principal as she's retiring. The three of us(Singaporeans) shared a gift(a Swarosvki necklace) for her on behalf of the kids which she put on during the gala(can u see it?)...;p

Bonne Fete Papa!

Happy Fathers' Day!

We had a Fathers' Day celebration on 21st June 2009 at Serene's place. This celebration was not made known to the fathers except for the host. All children(or I should say mummies) are to prepare a surprise gift for the fathers.

We planned a potluck lunch on that day but before the lunch, we asked the fathers to bring the kids to the indoor pool in the morning before heading to Serene's place. As usual, the kids had fun and thanks to Serene who always has lots of fun ideas for the fathers and kids to play together...

Our gift to Papa...a box of Tools chocolates...

Happy Mothers' Day!

Over in France, Mothers' Day is celebrated on the 1st Sunday in June. This year, it was on the 7th June 2009.

Although this year is the 2nd year Avril had given me this special gift but the feeling is different whenever I received the gifts each time.
This year, Avril had made two Mothers' Day gift. From the childcare, she made a card and from the school, a basket of flowers with a gift box and a plant thermometer(I guess this is the only thing which the kids had painted themselves...;p)

Chef Avril

Avril made some Huat Kueh with Papa on a fine Sunday when mummy was not feeling well. It was easy as we used the Huat Kueh instant mix(given by Aunty Ivy) to make it. It was yummy!

Carnival

Backlogs again...pls pardon me...;p

Carnivals like "Chinggay" can be seen whenever Easter Day is approaching.
I took a quote from Jasmine's blog, "It was some kind of celebration to wards off evils before Easter Day?? I am not too sure even though I have searched the internet.@_@"

Well, the school organised a Carnival on 20 March 2009. All children are to be dressed to attend the function. For us, the S'porean kids, we have 2 Princesses and 2 Darth Vaders...they were so excited about it...and indeed they enjoyed themselves on that day...see for yourself...

Semaine des Arts a l'ecole

It's the School Arts Week on 14 May 2009 to 19 May 2009. We, the parents were being invited to the Open House for the opening ceremony on the 14th May 2009.

I think the kids had done many craftworks as they are not able to remember what they had done in the class when being question by us during the expo.
Thanks to the class teacher who has given us a note beforehand on what are the craftworks which will be displayed...(which we discovered much later..hehehee)

Here is the list of craftworks on displayed by Avril's class:
1) 2009 Table Mat
2) Photo Frame
3) Tissue Box
4) Coasters
5) Multicolour Bracelet
6) Flower pot
7) Flower Swing Disc

I found 6 items during the expo except the flower pot..I've no idea where it is displayed. Anyway, their works are allowed to be brought back so I managed to take a picture of all Avril's work.

Some pictures to share...
