Photos (Wrapping the CNY Hamper for the Elderly)

Dear Parents,

Thank you very much for your generous donations! Here are photos of the class helping out with the wrapping of the hamper (and photos of the boys mingling around in class). A few boys were not in the picture as they were attending J&I lessons during Contact Time. Quite a number of the photos were taken by Andre and Perry - our budding photographers!

Pouring out all the food stuffs onto the table.

Our hamper is taking shape!

The chinese name for our class "Kindness".

Our completed hamper and our two photographers of the day.

Ti-An - colouring the CNY card for the old folks.

Ti-An concentrating on his CNY card. :)

Linus - making use of the free time to rehearse for his Show & Tell. His friends crowding around, trying to help.

Teyen and Le Bin - having fun with figurines. :)

Cedric - Performing "karate-chop" for his photographer.

Miss Tan and Noah - wacky pose for our talented photographer. :)

Lee Lao Shi and Perry - with their "half-wrapped" hamper. :)

Another wacky pose for our little photographer - Miss Tan and Zhi Yong, deep in thought. :)

Andre and Cedric - definitely not "camera-shy" ;)

That's all for now parents! Due to time constraints, we did not manage to capture shots of every boy. I will take pictures of them whenever I can and upload them onto our class blog. More pictures will come soon! :)
