JYOG Part 1

I guess the main highlight of the JYOG is the cheer leading competition. And yes, we did it again! We won!! I believe the children are very much excited over the victory. I am too. Their hard work has paid off. I must thank Mrs Amanda Tan, their PE teacher for her hard work in training the children and giving pointers, helping them to improve.
We gathered at 1.30pm. Marked attendance, had some briefing and sang some songs... I simply love Matthew's enthusiasm..
The children were given some time off to practise their cheer...

They went through the routine again and again....

The result was only released at the end.... We were nervous.. Who would not?.. The competition was tough... over the days, the rest of the classes have been practising hard and were doing just as well....
When the result was announced, we were all jumping for JOY!!! Thank God for another victory that the class can celebrate and be proud of!

JYOG @ Bishan Part 2

These are the pictures taken when we were at the street waiting to cheer for our torch bearers. We were early as we needed to take position. There was already a crowd when we were there. There was a slight drizzle that most of us did not take notice of. In fact, I don't think anyone realise that Mrs Loo was helping to carry all the ponchos!Without her, I would not be able to take so many pictures! Thanks Mrs Loo!
Here we are... posing for pictures and having so much fun..
Mdm Jumaina was with us too...Guess what your friends were pointing and looking at?????

Not helicopter... balloons that were in the sky... Hahaa... At one time, your friends were even fighting for balloons... so embarrassing ... I thought only little children are interested in balloons...

After they have burst that balloon... Back to posing... More great shots together... Yes, a few ex pupils from Kuo Chuan were with us...Two of them were my GB girls...The road was empty...The traffic police was here to make sure we were off the road... Very fierce looking....

The first red YOG bus arrived....
followed by the blue bus...
And here... presenting out 3rd torch bearer, Tinesh of 6 Agape...
Of course we must take a picture with the STAR of the day!!! I understand that there are only 2000+ torch bearers in this whole event and he is one of the blessed one to be chosen..

When we returned to school... we grabbed the opportunity to take picture with the three torch bearers. From left is Elisha, Tinesh and Dylis.

I hope all of you have a great time...

Keep the YOG flame alive as we look forward to 16th August....

YOG Cheer

These children have practised HARD! They even stayed back yesterday till 4pm to work on it. I am totally impressed by their commitment and dedication to wanting to better themselves, in getting their movement right. They changed and changed. They discussed and worked on it again and again and again. This was what I last took of them this afternoon. They changed their movement again. Each time they changed, it was for the better. They are eager to win and I really hope they will. They deserve it! Tomorrow is the day! I pray for good weather so that they can do the cheer outside and the public can see, the world can see. It's once in a lifetime to be able to be involved in this event! I am excited and I hope you are too... So let us all come together to cheer the flame....

National Day Celebrations

We celebrated Nationa Day today. Most of us came wearing the flag colours of red and white. We had a class activity. The children were to make and design a kite. They worked in groups to accomplish the task in 40 minutes. Some of their finished products.After that, we went to the hall for the hall programme. As usual, we were one of the earliest to be there. Love the girls, Rachel, Parveen, Kelly and Grace, who posed for me!

One segment was that the school was supposed to make a national flag using the red file and white paper. Couln't really see the effect from where I stand.

Every class has to submit the best piece for a level competition.
We submitted this.And guess what... We won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Eddison represented the class to go on stage to receive the BIG prize from Mr Chua! Yeah!!!

Below are the winning kites from the various level.
