We had our Friday Treat at the indoor playground at The Gioi Tre Tho Gau Gau in Go Vap. The service here is really good - they have water for the kids and even delicious snacks for teachers. Their staff are on hand to give assistance and play with our kids. On top of that, they even upload photos on their website for us.
I will just post two photos here. I encourage you to go to the class blogs to see the photographs of each class.
New Year's Day has come and gone. We're now moving into the Tet festive mood and everyone's busy doing decorations in preparation for this auspicious celebration. What is known as Tet to Vietnam is the Lunar New Year to China and the rest of Asia. Vietnamese are very good with their hands and all these decorations that you see are products of their handicraft.
The yellow "lucky" flowers are apricot flowers found in HCMC while the pink ones are peach blossoms, usually found in Hanoi. Please click on the image for a bigger pix.
This is our first field trip of the new School Year 2009/2010 and it's the zoo that we're visiting. Excited kids and staff couldn't wait to board the bus for the zoo. We saw elephants, hippos, giraffes and lots of other animals that the children learnt in class. It was a good outdoor lesson today.
Teachers' Day was an exciting day for parents, children and of course teachers and staff. This special day is not only dedicated to teachers but all our supporting staff as well, for without them, the school will not be able to function too. We celebrated Teachers' Day with games in the morning, and in the afternoon, a special lunch for teachers and staff followed by a round of karaoke.
Thank you, parents, for the lovely bouquets of flowers and gifts - we appreciate them very much.
This morning, we had access to the spanking new mini-soccer pitch at SYC - a very lovely place for our children to play. Soccer star wannabes had a hay day showing off their skills while the less-enthusiastic strolled around the artificial grass playing their own ball games. It was a good and sunny day for outdoor exercise.
