just some weeks ago, claire was done with her green house dance item on sports carnival day!
now, the teacher is keen to select only 5 from each house group to put up a performance on SHINE award day...during the rehearsals, she's been constantly praised for her swift movement, particularly in 'shuffling'.....haha, for those who hear this term for the first time, don't fret! i'm in the same shoes too!
apparently, she was the only one who knew how to do it, having learnt it from her pte hip hop class!
ystday, the teacher learnt from another stdt that claire takes up hip hop class. he enquired the venue of her learning and granted further acknowledgement about her steps! claire was obviously thrilled, having received so much attention from the teacher-in-charge!
2 girls even came to befriend her, one saying that she looks cute and another one complimented that she's got sweet voice. haha, my dear princess must have her head swelling so big and continues to stay afloat in the air.....
being recognised is a good form of motivation, esp with kids. maybe, adults too!
i continue to encourage claire to put forth her best, at the same time, reminding her that the final outcome of selection isn't really that impt! just enjoy the process and 不要把得失看得太重！
this whole dance experience is lifting her spirit and i hope she will find more joy in this activity and continue to EXCEL.....and willing to train her cousins on some dance steps, or perform in front of the aunties!

Wow, after seeing so much of Joy's achievements in her various interests, it is now time for Claire to excel. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteyes, claire is gradually coming out of her cocoon shell...seriously, she has lots of potential in dance, but apparently has a 'slack' attitude.
ReplyDeletesths, i just tell myself, might as well just let her take things easy, too much pressure on a kid sths kills her interest.
