Goodbye Marymount!

Well done Meg!!! She's finished with the first and easiest phase of her academic career. Now our real worry begins. I thought Primary 1 is relatively easy, but looking at my godson's (just completed Pr 1) work, suffice to say, 'it ain't what it used to be during our time'. I have trouble with some of her K2 Chinese work, and the Mathematics at this level was probably our level at Pri 3 or even 4! Well, one step at a time I guess.
On the whole, we are quite happy with Marymount Kindergarten. Not only is it a Catholic kindy - which was a major factor in deciding which one to choose - we like its open-aired classrooms, wide walkways and the knowledge she gained there. Although the teachers and principal kept changing, - something we didn't like - but at least the form teachers stayed with the kids til the end of the academic year. Would I recommend it to others? Yes I would. It might not be the best kindy around, but Meg learnt a lot and turned out alright in every aspect and it's thanks to the teachers and the environment at Marymount.
Now I await anxiously for her to being P1. It's going to be a big change for the entire family...

I should have photographed her outside of the (in)famous front steps of the school that's usually a human traffic jam during the 11.15am overlap of the am and pm sessions! Behind Meg is the path we take to the carpark above the slope.

She was allowed to wear butterfly wings on her last day. We usually discourage her from putting on something that would attract attention upon herself but this is probably one of the last chances she'll get so we agreed. There were others who wore similar wings too!

Lining up for her last performance of the year with her classmates. They sang and danced to "Little By Little, Day By Day", a lovely song.
