Magical Moments @ Horizon | A Storytelling Workshop

Yet another well organized event 
by Parents Connect 
of Horizon Primary School.

Hiroshi has been looking forward to this event ever since we registered for it.
The agenda seems like a day of fun, 
filled with plenty of opportunities to keep the kids occupied.

Kids were encouraged to dress up to the theme of "Magical Moments".
And Hiroshi choose to turn up as 
Hiroshi; the Neverland Pirate.
Hey Matey!

We started off the morning with a book talk 
by local author Otto Fong.
Amazing Author that Revolutionize the Learning of Science.
Former Teacher of Raffles Institute, 
is the author of Sir Fong's Adventures in Science.
A comic series that uses cartoon to teach science.

Book Sale with Attractive Discounts!

First Story of the day 
was Presented by Aunty Irene Lim.
The Wolf who Cried Boy.
Amusing Story.
The ending of the story was also deliberately left out 
for us to brainstorm 
for our very own creative endings!

Hiroshi totally enchanted by the story tellers!

We had a Special Celebrity Guest Appearance;
Abigail Chay
I like her character when she acted as Aunty Abigail 
in Under One Roof 
many many donkey years ago! 
Where she wailed loudly on top of her cup of tea then asked 
"why my tea so salty?!?!?"

Abigail mesmerizing the kids with magic show!

Aunty Avelyn read the second story of the day.
The Boy from the Dragon Palace.
It teaches one to be contented with what they already have in life.

When the kids tried to snort like the boy from the dragon palace,
Magical things happened.....
It rained candy canes!

Aunty Tracie read our last story of the day.
Oh! What a Christmas!

Kids pretending to fly.
Helping Santa to get his sleighs flying, 
so that he is able to deliver all the presents in time.

Time to get crafty.
In the process of making our very own
Magical Snow Globe.

Beautiful DIY Snow Globes
What did you wished for this Christmas?

We sang Silly Christmas Songs;
The Reindeer Pokey.

The event ended in a perfect note 
with Mrs Ang the Principal 
giving away Christmas goodies to everyone!

We truly enjoyed ourselves.
And we are already looking forward to the next Parent Connect event!

This is what a little imagination could get you.
The possibilities are endless.
My $2 Diaso Reindeer Hairband 
& Awesome Makeup Skills 
made me 
Irene the red nose DIVA reindeer!

Wishing "deer" readers
Merry Christmas in advance!

Horizon Primary School Parents-Connect Casual BBQ Gathering.....

We did pray for good weather.
But, It rained.
It rained the whole of today!!!

Well, by right it should be a mood damper.
But, on the contrary,
we had bucket loads of good fun!!!

Our gathering was moved to the nearby multi purpose hall.
And since it rained the whole of today.....
The weather was exceptionally cooling!

1 hour prior to the gathering,
Frantic whatsapp messages were making it's round.
In the moment of despair,
we manage to get 2 portable BBQ pits,
Tables, Chairs & even Picnic Mats.....

So,
the fun MUST go on.....

Bbq Hdb Style
 Proactive Horizon fathers
taking charge to get bbq food ready for everyone!
Many Many Thanks!!!

While the mothers do what they do best. 
Chat, Look Pretty and Network 
*big fat evil grin*

For once, 
no kids were seen holding hand held games.
Everyone behaved like kampung kids.
Running wild and having Fun!!

All these wouldn't have been possible if we didn't synergize.
Good job Horizon Parents, 
we are leading by example!

Horizon Mothers

Horizon Fathers
 
Strangely, it was much easier to gather the kids for a photo 
than we first thought it would be.
Thumbs Up for well behaved kids!

We are already looking forward to the next Parents-Connect event.
But for now,
I will carry my contented belly home and slip into lalaland.
Good Night Folks!
