Graduation Party - “ 毕业派对“

"Mommy, what time are you fetching us today?” Anthea has been looking forward to the day and kept asking me of the day agenda...haha.

Yes, it is the day of the K2 Graduation Party; I believe this is like a “mini-prom” night for them, minus all the glam.

I fetched both Anthea and Anders from the childcare around 4.30 pm. Anthea had expressed her preference to be in Party Dress than school uniform, so I brought them home to take a bath and changed to their party clothing.

Then we went back to the childcare centre around 6pm. The party was scheduled to start at 6.30pm at the Multi purpose room. While waiting, we were entertained by the children singing Christmas Songs. They sang both the English and Chinese songs.

The party commenced at 6.30 pm with a simple Thank You speech from the Principal, Miss Wendy Sim. The graduation ceremony followed after the speech. Each child was presented with their graduation certificate and a gift set from Miss Wendy.

Then we proceeded to the open area where the Macdonald crew had set up the game sessions. The children played a few games and they had so much fun. Parents were seated by the side and having fun watching them playing the games.

When they were done with the games session, the children were guided to the dinner tables where Happy Meals were set up for them – Bon Appetite. They ate nuggets, cup of corn and drank apple juice. While eating, they were also chatting happily with one another.

The centre had prepared some fried bee hoon for the parents; it was really very thoughtful of them. The bee-hoon was tasty and very delicious. I even 打包 home for my dinner. Anthea and Anders had 2nd round of dinner and they loved the bee hoon too...haha.

After the meal, the crew started giving out the happy meal toys to the children. Anthea received a set of fork & spoon and I thought this will be very useful for her bento next year. Anders received a set of toy.
Anthea presented Ms Wendy, Ms Valentine and 罗老师 with a small token of appreciation from the Aces family for their effort.

Then it was time to bid good byes and the Party came to an end. A few mommies are planning for another get-together this Thursday; hopefully, Anthea will be able to join them after her tuition class.

One of the mommy commented, hopefully these children can maintain their friendship even after their graduation day. I wish the same too.

孩子们,毕业了!!

Great party.

I wished the same too but it will not be easy unless they are going to the same Pri school or the same neighbourhood..
