The LPN Art School

This afternoon (June 6, 2011), Jules wanted to do some art & craft after his haircut at Junior League and so I brought him to the LPN Art School at Suntec Level 3. Suddenly remembering that our family will be out of town during Father’s Day, I got Jules to do an “advanced” Father’s Day gift for Papa.

After going through the assortment of on-the-spot craft workshops available @ $30 per child, Jules finally settled on canvas painting. It was a first for him … and for me too!

Receipt for $30!

He started by doing a draft of the picture he wanted to paint on the canvas – a family portrait with a smurf-looking house complete with furniture, sun (in glasses!), clouds and tree!

Thereafter, under the guidance of the art instructor, he proceeded to paint on the canvas and topped off with some clay craft as the finishing touches. Voila, the picture was finally done after about an hour’s of hard work! It was a job well done!

“Make A Wish” Project

Since its debut in 2005, the Marina Bay Countdown “Make A Wish” Project is back for 2010! This year, the LWPS children were invited to be a part of this so two weeks ago, Jules carted home of those huge, white Wish Spheres to pen down his wishes for the new year. Mommy forgot all about it until a reminder was sent by the school yesterday and the entire family settled down last night – finally - to complete the project!

We asked Julian what his wish for Singapore was and unhesitatingly he replied, “I wish that everyday is a quiet and peaceful day … so no one can disturb me!!” Hmm … Anyway, after about half an hour, the sphere was done with his Wish sandwiched between a smiley sun, clouds and birds above, and a world of sea creatures and a boat below! In Mommy’s opinion, it was a marvelous effort by Jules and simply b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!

Concert Rehearsal … Right At Home!

Every year, LWPS holds a year-end concert for their students and this year was no exception. Each class, starting from the youngest in the Playgroup, gets to perform at least 2 items, and parents always perked up and cheer wildly when it came to their kids’ performance (even when it’s an apparent disaster!). So really, we were never short of any applause throughout the entire concert … :)

For the past 2 years Jules had un-exciting roles like being an alien and then, a dragonfly who had to row a boat!

This year, however, he came home excitedly and told me he was a Surfer Boy! Needless to say, he was eager to show off his moves and of course, being the good mother that I was, patronized his antics and rejoiced with him!

A Poem Recital on the Land Down Under

Australia
Australia is a continent and it’s a country, too!
It lies in the South in oceans deep and blue.
Koala bears climb Eucalyptus Trees
Chewing on their fragrant leaves.
Hissing snakes and spiders too
Some of them want a bite of you!
But, lookout for shark and stinging fish
Like stingray and lots of jellyfish!
From her Boomerang to her Kangaroo,
From her Koala Bear to her funny Emu,
Australia’s home to so much wonder,
That it’s hard to leave this land, down under!
