Pat's school house Chinese New Year Celebrations

On Tuesday, Teacher Belle told us that this Friday (12 Feb) would be the school's Chinese New Year celebration - and the kids in Peter Rabbit would also be putting up a performance!

As many of you would be aware, Faith has had her ups and downs adjusting to school. She still gets the Monday blues and would often protest at having to be woken up early at 7am.

As such, Eve and I received the news of the CNY performance with mixed feelings. While we were glad that the teachers would be investing considerable effort in bringing CNY to life for the kids, we were also quite resigned to the fact that Faith takes a longer time to adjust to school much less peforming on-stage!

Came Friday, both of us accompanied Faith to the performance. We dropped her off with the class and like the other parents, waited at the "concert venue" just a few steps away, at the Pat's SchoolHouse nursery.

And what was probably the proudest 'school-moment' for us came quite unexpectedly. Faith literally took to the stage and danced her heart out. Not only did she not shy away from going up, she was literally put in the centre of the stage alongside Connor - a Caucasian boy.

Well done Faith! :)
