Unlike some horror stories we heard about how kids were being assessed through a series of test during the Orientation Day to determine their class, Shan's school had already pre-allocated their class and made known to us priorly in the notification letter.
During the Orientation, Shannon had to sit together with her classmates. It was a nice surprise that one of her CC classmate is in the same class as her. The mummy and I quickly exchange number to facilitate future communications :) The orientation consisted of address by the Principal and Head of Department and P1 pupils giving welcome speech as well as a dance performance. Thereafter, the parents were led to their classroom and we were being introduced to the Form Teacher and the Chinese Teacher.
There, we also went through the admin process and completed the purchases of her uniforms and books. Easy peasy! Looking forward to the start of Primary School journey!

This is the 3rd year running Shan had her performance at SCGS. By and large, i'm generally happy with Shan in her current dance school. However, her school is performance based and not exactly following the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) grading syllabus. I have recently speak to her teacher about the way forward and noted that she also teaches at Moving Art and Singapore Ballet Academy. I'm currently exploring few school and should be making the change next year. Unfortunately, most schools that I explored are currently full in their Saturday class.
Her progress in ballet is also relatively better than her Tap dance. Have discussed with Shan and decided that she will just concentrate in her Ballet.

How time files! Shannon is now 6yo.
This year, she chosed for herself "My little Pony" cake from Smiling Orchid.
As a tradition, we celebrated her birthday at her CC. She even asked me if next year, Primary School will allow them to celebrate birthdays!
She has formed good friendship with these 3 other girls and her teacher were commenting they are always having fun and doing stuff together. In fact, three are going to the same pri. sch.
After the celebration, we brought the kids to take a Luge ride at Sentosa.
We spent a short 2hrs but enjoyable time at Sentosa.
As a "ongoing" celebration, we went for free ice cream at Swensons the following day with the grandparents & ah yi. We were pleasantly surprised when the staff dish out a camera and took a family pix for us. Within few minutes, they are back with the instant photo printed by Canon Seply Photo Printer. What a nice gesture!
