Meera officially ended Nursery this month. It was marked with an end of the year concert and prize giving. Initially she was so worried about performing for the concert. She missed school for a month because my cousin was here so she went back to school in the beginning of November with the concert being held in 2 weeks. So she was quite behind the other kids and I guess that made her anxious. But I found out from the teacher that she was actually being given a lead role (so she must have been good) cos the previous girl came down with chicken pox. Meera was quite worried cos she was the only one performing that part and was relieved when the girl came back to school in time for the concert. I however was disappointed she lost out on the part.
On the actual day, she performed quite well considering she was the only 4 year old in the front position. She also won prizes for colouring and writing.
She has really grown up a lot since starting school. We decided to start sending her to daycare as well so she stays in school till 4.30pm (she takes her nap there). This gives her time to work a bit more on her Chinese (the headmistress, Mdm. Loh is very accommodating - giving Meera extra guidance in this). I can see her Chinese improving in just a short time. Not only with the extra teaching but I guess interacting with the kids also helps. She hardly speaks but can understand quite a bit (according to Mdm. Loh).
