A new month

September has come and gone. We're happy that our children are coping well with school and our enrolment has been increasing. This month, we celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival and also paid a visit to our children's favourite indoor playground, Go Go. Please visit our class blogs for photographs of the events that we celebrated. We will celebrate Halloween this month. This exposure to Asian and Western festivals will greatly increase our students awareness of the world around them, thus widening their international perspective.

Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival is here again and the whole school had a great time celebrating it. Please visit our respective class blogs to see what your children have been up to.

Teacher Attachment to PCF Bishan East (Singapore)

Ms Nga from TAK and Ms Dung from ASYC were attached to PCF Bishan East Centre in Singapore from 2 to 6 Aug 2010. Apart from observing the classes, both teachers also taught lessons on various aspects of Vietnam to K1 and K2 students. It was a good bilateral exchange programme as teachers learnt a lot from each other.

We were also invited to the school's National Day Celebration concert and to the Bishan East National Day Celebration Dinner hosted by Mr Wong Kan Seng, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs, and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC.

The Alpha Schools - Vietnam send our deserving teachers to Singapore to learn the latest trends and developments in preschool education so that we can implement them in our kindergartens in Vietnam.

1st Graduation Concert

TAK had our very first graduation concert today and it certainly was a fun and successful concert in many ways. Teachers reaped the fruits of their hard work as the many rehearsals paid off in fantastic performances by their kids. We are so proud of our teachers and students. And we are very touched by the generous support given by all parents by turning up in full force for the concert. Many thanks to Kim's parents for the lovely cake and special thanks to Suri's parents for the lovely bouquets and baskets of flowers for our teachers and students. Your kind gestures only serve to make us work even harder for all our students.

Friday Treat - Visit to the Airport

This Friday's treat is a visit to the Tan Son Nhat Airport - both the international and domestic. We wanted to show our children various parts of the airport and also to see the aeroplanes there. They had a good time playing with the trolleys at the airport instead!!

Our First Breakfast Party

We had our first breakfast party on Thu 1 Jul 2010. We wanted to celebrate our relocation to our new premise and to thank all parents for their support. Our parents are wonderful! Almost all parents made time to celebrate with us and we received many bouquets of flowers, cakes and gifts from them. We had a good time eating, drinking and bonding with each other. Many thanks to all our parents, our children, staff and everyone who have contributed in one way or another to the success of our first breakfast party!

Our First Aerobics Session

Our first aerobics session was conducted on Thu 1 Jul 2010 0945h. It was a good workout session for our children and teachers. We learnt the importance of exercise and that exercise can be fun. There was much laughter and encouragement when the instructress brought us through the routine. We look forward to our next funfilled aerobics session on Tue 6 Jul 2010!
