TKM Eco Sanctuary Family Day 2022
Like a walk down memory lane
- Written by Teacher Sherliz
After 2 years of digital Family Day performances, it is finally back physically this year! What was better and more interesting was the presence of game booths with fun activities happening concurrently at the foyer! We have had different themes every year and what I like the most about this year’s is that the children would be performing the favourite songs from all our previous concerts.
A lot of good and fun memories replayed in my head.
‘Antartica, Antartica…’ The Antartica song rang in my head as my memory flashed back to the time when the toddler students performed it way back in year 2018. I was their toddler teacher back then. How the time has flown, and to think that the same batch of toddlers are the K2 graduates this year!
Batches after batches of children joined us over the years and graduated. The number of children and parent-teacher relationships we cultivated has made me feel so grateful and proud to be a teacher. It is my reward to see them grow up healthily and happily, equipped to venture into their futures.
In the beginning...
After a long time without physical events, a sense of excitement dawned on us as we got into planning this year’s Family Day. We want to make it a memorable one for all, but at the same time I was anxious for the children. Will they have stage fright? How can they cope when even I, as an adult, also feel similarly anxious?
With all the blend of nervousness and excitement in the midst of planning, the next thing we knew… it was time for Family Day!
It's finally here...
‘Hello good morning E, good morning G!’ I greeted the parents.
G’s mummy chimed, ‘G says she only slept at 1am last night because she was too excited to dance on stage!’
‘Oh same G, same’. That was the thought in my own head.
​
We had parents reaching as early as an hour before performances, and that got us all hyped up and encouraged us to do our upmost best for the day!
