Rainbow Day 1

Yesterday, we had our first Rainbow Day. P3A, 3B, 3E, 3F, 5A, 5B and 6A performed. We also had special performances by children from Singapore School for the Deaf. Most of the pupils in 6A were touched by their performances and wanted to see more of them in future.

I am very proud of 6A. Y ou helped to look for an item (Thanks to Chao Yuan and Ming Jun), taught your friends to dance (Thanks to the 10 boys who stayed behind to learn) and also showed enthusiasm in the item. Great job, 6A! Keep the spirit high :)

Once your video is ready, I will upload it in the blog :)
