The Quiet Side of Nicolle

Dear NN

You have adopted the same reading habit as your KorKor Ryan and would pick up any book to read.
Many a times, we would find you seated quietly by the bookshelf with a book in your hand, and many more stacked on the floor next to you.  Sometimes you would be sitting side by side with your KorKor Ryan, totally engrossed in your reading.  Other times, you would be alone, reading in the room, while the rest of your brothers would be screaming the house down outside. 
Mummy is actually looking forward to a "serene" setting whereby all 6 of us will be reading together.  That is, of cos, still a long long way to go....

Mummy is pacing your reading with the Peter and Jane Series now.  Dry as they may seem, those repetitive words really do work wonders.

Nicolle's Violin Progress

Dear NN
You are into your 3rd month of violin lessons.
The pieces are getting more challenging, and the effectiveness of daily practises is sometimes hampered by your occasional tantrums too.
However your progress is still good.  Although you may have to pay more attention to your basic foundation....
Maybe a decade later, you may have completed your grade 8 in this instrument, or maybe you have given up half way.  In any case, indulge in the joy of learning.

When you first started 2.5 months ago....
Your 1st Song - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star



Getting Better


After awhile, you could manage the "Busy Busy Stop Stop" Rythm, although not to perfection yet.


Followed by "Lightly Row"


Then "Song of the Wind"


"Go tell Aunt Rhody"


and the half completed "Long Long Ago"


Although you still need to polish up your skills, Mummy is already very proud of you.

Hugs & Kisses
Mummy

Act 3 Sundays with Us - Move It!

'Move It!' is a high-energy rhythm and creative movement workshop for children to listen, move, play, have fun and interact with peers, based on the Rudyard Kipling classic, The Jungle Book.

The workshop aims to give children an insight to the sense of beat, rhythm and musical expressiveness while exploring and reliving the adventures of Mowgli and his jungle friends.
Physical movement activities in this workshop will illustrate the connection between body movement, rhythm, spatial awareness and kinaesthetic awareness, helping children to improve balance, coordination, concentration and self-esteem.
This invigorating workshop fosters imagination and creativity, giving children an opportunity to express themselves through various locomotion and rhythmic patterns

Dear NN
Your 2nd drama workshop with Act 3.  This time round, besides Zavier, Ashley was also in your class.
Could see that you had fun.
Of course this time round, Mummy didn't enrol KorKor Ryan....

Hugs & Kisses
Mummy
