Chinese New Year 2015

Chinese New Year was celebrated on the 19th and 20th of February and till Chap Goh Meh ( the 15th day ). Glad that this time it didn't clash with my intensive course in the university. Am glad to have my eldest daughter with me as she had planned the menu for the first few days and all of us enjoyed her delicious cooking. All my daughters came back and little grandson celebrated his first Chinese New Year with us. He is so adorable and is growing bigger and more cheeky day by day. After visiting relatives , my children had their own programmes and it was back to normal. As usual , there were books to mark and preparations for school. Chinese New Year years ago were more fun when our parents were around.

Mini Musical Theatre , "The Magic of the Mangroves" by SK Klian Pauh

Pupils performing in the mini musical theatre posed for photos before performing on stage during the Prize Giving Day in SK Klian Pauh.

On the Conference Day , SK Klian Pauh pupils performed their best to the audience, many who were foreigners. They acted, had a dialogue , danced and sang to send a message across on the importance of maintaining the mangrove forests. We do appreciate the help given by our English native speakers , Mr Travis, Mr Alan and Mr Martin who are in Malaysia under the KPM programme. It was nice of them to help us and I too have learned a lot from them . The costumes sewn by a tailor were beautiful and colourful . We thank and appreciate the Perak Forestry Department for giving the children this opportunity to gain this new exciting experience.

The scene of the sea and animals swimming in it. It was great as the stage hands handled the waves creating a nice effect.

This group photo was taken during the rehearsal . Lovely with everyone of us on the stage. Wonder when would we get such golden opportunity again. This was the last programme with our ex-headmistress , Pn Hjh Norhashimi before her retirement.

A big group photo was taken after the performance and together with Mr Travis, Mr Martin, teachers, Pn Rohani Ghazali, Hjh Rohani Samhuri, Pn Fatimah, Pn Norziah, Pn Hjh Nor Hashimi, Pn Norizan and Pn Khairiah. This mini musical theatre of around 20 minutes is a very colourful one filled with dances and songs and the children enjoyed themselves. I will never forget the fun , fellowship and good teamwork. It is on Youtube. However it is shaky because I didn't use a stand when recording it.

The Matang Mangrove Forest Visit on 3 October

With the visit to the Mangrove Forest in Matang and the charcoal factory on the 3 October, the 34 pupils who are the cast of the musical theatre are connected to nature and ready to start on a new adventure of theatre performance. With our headmistress's support , teachers,English mentors and the officers from Jabatan Perhutanan Perak and Taiping , I am sure we will be able to put up a fantastic show successfully. Though time is limited, we will all put in joint efforts and we believe we can make it . The second meeting will be conducted tomorrow on the 7 Oct.2014 and it will be the first training session for the pupils as well. The songs and music have to be carefully selected and edited . Costume designs are now being drawn and printed out for our seamstress to sew. Then, the teachers and Year 6 pupils will be busy with the props. It all sounds exciting and most importantly,the pupils enjoy themselves during the training sessions and performance and they love Mother Nature. To everyone especially Mr Alan, Mr Travis and Mr Martin who have shared ideas and experiences, we express our gratitude. We are a team and we'll work hard to make it happen. 24 November , the performance is especially for the official opening ceremony of the Perak Conference of Mangrove Forest .
