Kaylen's Grade 1 Open House 2015

Character Dance














and finally a group pic with Miss McCully, many of the kids absent though

2014 Ballet Open class-primary

The kids had to perform 8 items for their graded primary exam..Kaylen had to attend extra lesson on every Tue 9-10am for 3 months to get ready for the exam.  Since she started ballet at the age of 2.5yr..it had been really long ..so we decided to sign her up for the exam and to know if she is really talented in dancing..

Kaylen in her new ballet attire

The old attire and shoes lasted her from 2.5yrs till now..It was stained, small and so squeezy for the shoes. But since I had plan to change her ballet school, so I did not buy any new one for her even though she has been complaining about the shoes.

Now at Slyvia Mccully school, for pre primary, they are wearing white. And for each grade they have different uniform.

She quite enjoy the class..and came out with happy mood. But we have yet to get used to leaving house at 9am so early..After class, Kaylen and me have to take bus to United square to meet daddy and koko for car ride home. Luckily there was at least 3 bus that goes there..only we have to climb 2x overhead bridge...

Kaylen's 2nd ballet lesson

 

Love the way she looked in the ballet attire..

She got into class and started crying..and drived me mad..so the staff offered to help and let me go out..By the time I got back 10mins later, she has calmed down..and when teacher asked her if she wanna join..she nod the head..And totally enjoyed the whole lesson!

I thought she might have problem understanding the instruction..but she was following really well...I saw her spin, lie on floor to pretend sleeping, circle time..etc etc..And she came out of classroom with a big smile..

I'm so so so glad...she like the lesson..but i think the crying will take a while to stop..just like her daily school..she got to try first 5min for 1 mth...haiz

Kaylen's 1st ballet lesson

Enrolled her immediately when she turned 2.5yr at Ballet & Music comp. at a level above Jared's mandeville lesson, when I found out that they have lesson time exact same as Jared's...which is really perfect..Both can attend lesson at the same time

Then the next week I brought her to the trial lesson..she clinged to me so hard and can't participate at all..But I still went ahead and paid for the school fees..heh, but delayed the start of lesson till Apr after we came back from HK.

Last week when I brought her to buy her attire..she refused the staff to touch her..

Luckily this week it's so much better..She was willing to attend lesson, tell me she would not cry..and only started getting nervous just before lesson starts...And when inside the class she was quite scared..together with the other 2 new kid (one of them 4yr, and another same age)..all 3 of them didnt participate at all.

I managed to find a chance to sneak out from class room..to find her standing still by the side..tears rolling in eyes..refused to participate...

But but, by the time Daddy & Jared came to check her at 11am+...She was already participating in the activities!...She was holding the scarf trying to clean the window like cinderella, and did a bit of circle time...I was so so glad..at least daddy won't scold me for wasting $ hah..

I was kind of regret sending her here..cos she might be too young for lesson without parents..and should hv gone mandeville music lesson instead? But I knew she would love doing all the stuff in the ballet lesson...

We are faced with some critical condition after their lesson ended. Me and Kaylen wanted Texas Chicken Jared said he’s not going to eat anything if we decided to lunch at Texas. He wanted to go You and Mee to redeem his free drink! Kaylen refused noodle and wanted fries only

Guess what we did? Me and Kaylen have our lunch at Texas. Daddy & Jared at UandMe.

I ordered 2 piece meal with ice milo& fries..She told me the drink had to be ice milo. She was really hungry and told daddy “I’m hungry, I want to eat things” when we were at Toy r us after lesson. She ate that 2 piece chicken, left skin and bones for me..and half pack of fries! This is so abnormal..cos she’s such a small eater..She could just eat some fries and ice milo and be full..yet tat day she finished the whole 2 piece chicken. As for Jared, he and daddy had a bowl of noodle each at U and mee…I’m left with some big chunk of vege when they finished. Faint.
