School Time: Entrepreneurship Day aka School Fair



Tuesday was a big day at school. The kids in Kindergarten 2 (K2) were in charge of organizing the school fair and in charge of all the activities. The theme this year was "A Day in Story Book Land". Each class was given a classic story and had to create products and a booth for their story. Cosette's class was assigned Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and Henry's class had Jack and the Beanstalk. Henry has been obsessed with Jack and the Beanstalk lately and it all makes sense now. I love the kid's school. One of the purposes of the fair was to help the children learn how to use and manage their own money. All the proceeds went to . I made a video of the day, so you can experience it first hand.

 We had a lot of fun. I did not really have any expectations, because I was just trying to get out of the door with the three kiddos, mornings are so crazy no matter how well we prepare ahead. So many things in Singapore exceed my expectations and the school fair was another thing to add to that list. The booths were adorable, the kids had a blast playing with their friends, and it was fun to see everyone in a different environment. I found out one of the moms in Cosette's class is rocking cookie decorator. She made all the royal frosting for their Snow White cookies and did some professional looking decorating. The Jack and the Bean Stalk booth was probably my favorite. There was "golden eggs" for purchase (hard boiled eggs wrapped in foil), different flavors of milk, and mine and Henry's favorite magic beans (aka jelly bellies)! And since becoming a mom seeing my kids happy and having a good time makes my heart fly. There is nothing better. 

They have really assimilated well into their school and have been accepted. They are one of the pack. It makes me happy that we are not pegged as the foreigners. It was a great school event, even if Cosette did not win the mini golf game (which was a big sob fest), we left happy. 


Mhaduri, and Crescent's mom. I know all the kids name and I know which parent they go too. Still learning all the names. There is a HUGE language barrier. 

Lucas going for the gold!
Ke Shih also going in for a win.
Cosette and Xian Shun playing at the end when everything dissolved into a mad run fest.

He puts the best outfits together. Can't leave home with out your fisherman, I mean Cowboy hat (that's what he calls it). 
The stump was too shaky.

Classes were cancelled for the day, so naturally we went to the bird park. Just in time to see participate in the African Penguin feeding. And we also got to see the Birds of Prey bird show, which was pretty amazing. Cosette loves Peregrine Falcons (thanks Wild Kratts). Sadly they did not have any in the show, but we did get to see the biggest Condor in the world. It was a busy busy day. And Henry did not sleep, surprise, surprise. Sleep is for the birds.
