The Clown, Airplane, Stars and Paper Art

On the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, Jason's kindergarten had a celebration for them. There were light snacks and drinks for everyone. All the kids get to play with their lanterns and candle under the protection of the big canopy provided although it was drizzling outside.  But, most of all, the kids enjoy the clown more than anything else.

After that, I took them to a science exhibition at the Stadium Indera Mulia, Ipoh. The stalls were mostly promotion stuff by companies i.e. bankers, kitchen stuff and so forth. To me, the two main attractions were the "live" stargazing booth and the ( i dont really know wat it's called ) stimulation airplane.

Here's Jason enjoying the "airplane"

We waited for almost an hour queueing up for the stargazing show. Jeslyn really enjoyed the "live" show as it was all done inside a very enclosed area with no lights able to come in from the outside. It was like we were actually looking through a big microscope when we are actually looking at some projections. We were also told that this year is the international year for astronomy. Unfortunately, I was unable to capture any pictures during the "live" stargazing. But there was another stall selling craft puncher art that attracted my attention during the waiting time. They are promoting punchers that are able to create artistic stuffs from coloured paper, be it ......

a miniature garden or...

CNY cards or.......

2D bookmarks or......

encouraging leaflets or........

wall decoration or.......

Jason in Focus

Here's Jason concentrating on doing his homework at home. He is one active kid who usually can't sit still during his homework. He's getting slightly better ever since I put him under full day care. It's simple joy watching him focusing on doing his homework.

Playing With SandArt

Friday, 21st Aug,  it's the last day of school for most of the kids, especially those in the kindergarten too. BUT, unlike other schoolgoing kids, these kindies usually have a party to celebrate the lst day of school. During my time, we only go for kinder studies at the age of 6 and there ain't any parties at all, except for Children's Day of course !. Nowadays, kids have parties at the kindergarten to celebrate all kinds of occassion, like Teacher's Day, Mooncake Fest, birthdays and most of all, LAST DAY in school. Just imagine this!

Jason's kindergarten is no exception. That day, when i went to pick him up after work, I saw rows of small packets lined up on a table near the entrance gate. I was wondering what it was when Jason walked up to it and picked up a pack and got into the car. There it was in his hand a packet containing 2 mini sandarts, 2 balloons, 2 jellycups, a party mask and a party blower. Huh! Kids nowadays are definitely much happier, don't you think so?

Here are a few pictures of Jason playing with the mini sandart he brought home. He's been bugging me to let him play  and I've been delaying it until last nite.

AND the result...ta-da..!
