Our week in Review: Highlight: School Camping!

Wow! Papa got back from Australia after our Deepavali party at Aliya's where we ate amazing, Indian food as usual. On Sunday, we enjoyed Ethan's first communion with the Branco family and the kids went nuts over the Subway wraps. (me too and the occasional item with gluten still produces no eczema for them! Maybe they have outgrown it?!) On Wednesday I hosted the parent support group at our home and the topic was about raising boys. Also very useful to chat about that!! But the grand finale of the week was:

School Camping!! With 300 children from P1 and P2 and a ton of support from parent volunteers and parent support group members, we pulled off the first ever TPS school camping, overnight trip! It was really fun and pretty crazy. We had a cook out and a bonfire at night and an Amazing race at Pasir Ris park. The following day, after a fairly good sleep, the children participated in sports competitions. I will post photos soon so you can see for yourselves all the fun we experienced.

You can guess that we were all pretty tired by noon when we headed over to the mall for Frunty to choose his end of school present at "Toys For Us", as our boys still call it. He chose a Lego truck and wind machine and sushi for lunch. We are so pleased with Frunty as with minimal effort, he got a 94% in English and 77% in Math. Excellent work!! His teacher told me she was so surprised because in class, he seemed to be unfocused. I bet he would get 100% if he put in a little effort!

Sunday we all tried to recover. It rained all day so we could laze around. Papa and I went out to do some chores (and eat lunch and have back and feet massages...oh, life is rough over here!!) And now it is Monday and our last week of school before holidays!!! Stay tuned for some camping photos!
