Prior to the Start Small Dream Big event (SSDB), the children from the school came out with appreciation cards for their grandparents and caregivers. In addition, these appreciation cards were packed into the gift packs together with the towel bear. To begin our journey of the Start Small Dream Big project (SSDB), we had cordially invited the grandparents and caregivers to the school for the grand event on 1 Aug 2024 (Thursday).
It was a great pleasure to have the grandparents and caregivers with us. Our school nurtures the ideologies of values and aims to hone our children as responsible and appreciative members of society. It was in this spirit that we celebrated today. This year the school theme for the SSDB is C. A. R. E. What does it mean? It means that caregivers are Caring, Amazing, Respectful and Energetic.
The grandparents and caregivers were welcomed by the Kindergarteners and directed to sit in the Chapel. The Kindergarteners started off with a community song and the grandparents and caregivers were invited to sing-along with them.
Next, the Nursery class did a song performance by singing two songs. It was such a delight to see the grandparents and caregivers grinning with joy. Coming up next was our ex-parent mum who led in the fun dance exercise and the grandparents and caregivers were encouraged to follow. They were seen full of enthusiasm in following in the fun dance exercise.
After the fun dance exercise, the Kindergarteners presented gift packs to the grandparents and caregivers. The grandparents and caregivers were overwhelmed with joy and touched by the children’s gestures. They were able to interact with the children and have photo-taking sessions with them. Last but not least, the kindergarteners were also encouraged to serve light refreshment to the grandparents and caregivers. Although the event may be short, but the grandparents, caregivers and children had a wonderful time.
Once again, we thanked the grandparents and caregivers for their active participation throughout the event. The entire journey of learning and guidance from grandparents and caregivers is an important step towards promoting awareness and appreciation for our children.
