P1 Orientation Performance and Prize Giving ceremony

2016 had been an eventful year for Le Xuan as she embarked on her primary school journey. It took her quite long before she settled down emotionally, but luckily she didn't have much problems in terms of her academics, which meant one less thing to worry about.

I had enrolled darling in Chongfu's wushu class at the beginning of the year although I knew she didn't like it given that she's not a sporty person and would prefer reading a good book to sweating it out at wushu. However, we were pleasantly surprised at the end of the year when she was selected to perform during the P1 orientation performance. Training was tough as she had to go for rehearsals three times a week, but I was beaming with pride when I saw Le Xuan performing on stage for the incoming P1s. She had persevered and emerged stronger after a year of wushu.

She's the 3rd one from the right :)

Not only had Le Xuan done well for her wushu, Dear and I were also surprised when we learnt that she would be receiving academic awards at the annual prize giving day. We had always had the impression that there is no exam for P1s, and assumed that there is no academic awards for P1s then. I could still remember vividly that she came home from school one day, saying that she had gotten 1st in class, 2nd in the whole P1 cohort and also a CARS award which she didn't know what it meant, haha. Totally unexpected, totally surprised again. 

On Prize giving day, Dear and I showed our fullest support by being there for her. We could see that she's a little nervous but happy to see Papa Mama there. All the students were looking happy that day as it was also the last day of school before their long holidays!

At the prize giving day, Dear and I got to know that CARS award actually meant Chongfu All Rounders Student award. Le Xuan was given a medal for this award, along with a Popular $20 voucher, $150 cheque and certificate that day. Glad that Le Xuan had done well in her primary one stint, but hope this will not give her additional stress for primary two. Hopefully she'll continue to enjoy this learning journey and grow to be a resilient, confident and gracious individual. Love you loads darling! *muacccks*
