The school commemorated Racial Harmony Day on 21st July. The children wore their ethnics clothing on that day. I am always thankful to see how all of us, different races, live together in harmony, respecting each other religion and culture.
Thanks to the National Education (NE) team and the parents volunteer group, they put up a mini fair at the concourse so that all of us are able to learn and play some traditional games.
Here you can see Johan playing
congkak, a traditional Malay game.
Ian tried to learn to play 5 stones.
Raymond was playing
kuti kuti. This was one of my favourite games when I was much younger. I used to have containers of them at home....
The children were learning some craft.
As usual there was a
loooong queue for henna painting.
Managed to find the boys at the bus bay.
That's
Parrey doing his
Shaolin flying kick...
Charis trying to balance on one leg and pretending to kick the
chaptek. Not very successful. It's not easy!
Hehee.
Caden tried too... He was laughing and trying to balance at the same time!!! =D
Back to the concourse and saw Ian and Sebastian playing
congkak.
After 40 minutes of recess, the children went to the hall. The NE team presented the weddings ceremonies of the Malays, Indians and Chinese.
It's not very clear but that
Shaif receiving a token for giving the correct answer to a quiz question.
The theme for this year's event is 'Embracing Diversity, Building Community'. Let us never take for granted the peace we are enjoying now. Social cohesion and racial harmony requires constant effort from all of us. We, regardless of our race, language or religion, need to play our part to respect each other. =)
