Well folks, all the waiting of the last 6 weeks is over and today the 45,000 primary school children sitting the Singapore equivalent of the 11 +, including our lovely Claire, got back their leaving exam results. So diligently and by the grace of God, Claire achieved her goal, scoring enough marks to get directly back into the Methodist Girls School where she has enjoyed the last 6 years and will starts secondary school there in January. We are all delighted because getting into one of the most popular single sex schools on merit is no mean feat and the competition for places is really very fierce her, needing pretty much straight A's in English, Maths, Science and Chinese to secure a place. If you get a chance to visit her Facebook, give her a big pat on the back, she is very proud of her A* in Maths which is awarded for marks over 90%.
Not to be outdone, dear Daniel also has his end of school report and we are very proud of him too and very pleased to see him moving in the right direction, with a nice high average and high scores in Maths and Science. He showed us what he can achieve when he checks his work properly. His teachers were very complimentary particularly for his Chinese which he has struggled with from time to time. We have 3 years before has to sit the end of school exam so we can enjoy the lull.
I took Claire off to Sumatra 2 weeks ago as she had already finished school whilst Daniel was still finishing up. We had a great 4 days and below are some of the pics. She looks so relaxed in the pics. Today she is more or less the same but with the addition of a big grin; enjoy.
love Nic, Jen, Claire and Daniel.
