Chinese New Year Celebration 2020
Lavender Meadows celebrated Lunar New Year, which is also know as Chinese New Year, on 30 January 2020. The Center was abundantly decorated to create the Chinese New Year atmosphere with red lanterns, banners, streamers, couplets, and stickers. Children presented songs and dances for the parents during the celebration. Parents also did their part by creating Chinese painting /calligraphy and paper cuttings featuring the Chinese character ‘Fu’ and ‘Chun’ together with their children. Children got to bring back 福, which means fortune or good luck, and 春, which means Spring back home for Chinese New Year. The children were also able to enjoy food and tidbits. The main event of the morning was the Lion Dance. Wow! What an eventful morning! The Lion also produced 菜，which represented Fortune or Prosperity and then lots of toy mouse for the year of the Mouse. It offered Mandarin oranges, which means luck, or ‘Kam’ means ‘Gold’ / riches. The children did their ‘Lohung’, a traditional activity for promotion and improvement, after their afternoon. Children had a bountiful day; bringing back toy mouse and a little red bag of goodies.
Deepavali Celebration
Deepavali, the Festival of Light on 24 October, LMA celebrated Deepavali. It was an eye-opener for LMA children on Indian's culture and practices. On that morning, the center was enveloped with Indian songs and decors to set the mood. We were so privilege to have our two Parent Volunteers, Ms Aiko (Chiharu's mother) and Ms Ranjeet (Sukhmani's mother) to help in the Heena Art Work and the program. The celebration started with a short introduction to this Festival of Light by teacher Carra. Thereafter, our beautiful and lovely Parent Volunteer, Ms Ranjeet, taught and led LMA children in a Tamil dance. Lavender Meadows' parents and guardians were also very generous with their contribution to this celebration. Many thanks to Ms Ranjeet, Ms Aiko and all parents / guardians who had contributed to make this event so wonderful for the children. Last but not least, LMA children got to bring back their little oil lamp art piece home.

Educational Trip to Jurong Bird Park
Children boarded the bus to Jurong Bird Park with great excitement to meet variety of bird species on 14 August, Thursday. They got more than what they were expecting. Watching the ‘Kings of the Skies’ show was a very noteworthy moment. Children had close face-to-face counter with vultures, condors, eagles, owls and kites; the birds of prey. They viewed how these birds skillfully snatched their food tossed in the air. These birds have keen eyesight for detecting food at a distance and during flight. ‘High Flyers’ show was also very amazing. Children observed in super close distance birds in their graceful flights and incredible skills. The talking and singing Macaw in English, Chinese and Malay language was remarkable. Children kept talking about Flamingo, then they saw them and more. The penguins, chicken, toucan, horn bill, parrots, pelicans and others. This experience would surely ignite their curiosity to know more about birds.

LMA celebrated our Singapore Birthday on 7 August 2019. We started our celebration passionately with Singapore National Anthem and Pledge led by our Parent Volunteer, Mrs Grace Hobbs.
