Bryan’s Meet The Teacher Session
August 25, 2008 | Filed Under Bryan | Leave a Comment
Last saturday, we met up with Bryan’s Teacher for his “Meet The Teacher Session”.
Before meeting up, I asked Bryan what will his teacher say about him to us.
Bryan : “Miss Lee will say I am talkative, a bit proud and sometime talk loudly in class”.
No surprises. Bryan has always been an honest boy.
Miss Lee reaffirmed what Bryan had told me but she said attitude wise Bryan has improved alot. Compare to the first 2 semester, he is much less talkative and more attentive in class.
Miss Lee also commented that Bryan is a very confident student, maybe Bryan confused that with being proud, loves interactive lessons and shows good interest in speech and drama. Oh, Miss Lee also noticed that he likes the sport of Wushu.
Academic wise, his teacher is happy with his progress in English , esp in listening comprehension, but as usual, commented on his bad handwritting and carelessness. Hmmm, something for us to work on.
This “Meet The Teacher Session also allows us the opportunity to visit his classroom and environment.
Here are a couple of Bryan’s work that I took while looking around his classroom.
Board Games
August 25, 2008 | Filed Under Bryan, Dylan | Leave a Comment
Juls has been trying to introduce the boys to playing board games.
In Australia, the two boys were very engrossed with some figurines board game that we saw in one of the games shop.
So we got them the game “RISK” which is available here. It was one of my favourite as a kid.
Anyway, after spending 30 mins explaining to them the rules of the game, Bryan replied “Papa, could we just play according to our own rules ? ”
Oh well ….
Multi Player Network Mode

The two boys have been hooked into playing Age of Mythology in a Multi Player Network Mode. It is a good bonding session for them and it also keeps them away from fighting over one computer!
Bryan, being the better player prefers to play the game in the “fight each other” mode whereas Dylan prefer the “team” mode for obvious reason.
It is such a joy watching them discussing tactics and strategies. Picture shows them in “team mode” with Bryan doing some “coaching” as well.

Excerpt taken from our South West Australia Holidays Travel Journal :
In the afternoon, the sky cleared up enough for us to visit the well known The Margaret River Chocolate Factory in Swan Valley. Swan Valley is about 25 mins drive from Perth City, South West Australia. It is quite easy to get there and you know you are in Swan Valley when you see vineyards appearing on the left and right of you as you drive along.

I was browsing through one of Dylan’s school worksheet. The worksheet was about the letter M : M for Mushroom ; M for Mug; M for Monkey; M for Monday; M for Mother.
So I wanted to test him.
TH : Dylan, give me 3 things that start with the letter “M”?
Dylan : 3 Monkeys.
Ohhh … technically speaking, he is right!
Just look at that cheeky smile of his.
