Another milestone year had passed; the first year of primary school is over for my little girl. Lynn did well in terms of studies, and I think she enjoyed school in general. It hasn't been difficult for me either, because P1 syllabus is very manageable.
The school's annual prize giving ceremony was held on the last day of term, 15th Nov. There were 5 winners per class - 3 "academic achievement" awards, 1 "improvement" award and 1 "best conduct" award. So we know that Lynn scored top 3 in class, but the exact positions were unknown.
Surprisingly, quite a lot of the academic achievement awards, including the best performance in each subject by level, went to the boys. My guess is that nowadays parents pay more attention to the kids' studies, so the smart boys study more than the smart boys in the past.
Lynn lost (dropped) her monitor badge just 2 days before. I had wondered for the whole year, if the school will ask for the badge to be returned. Up to the last week, there was no such request. Unfortunately, in the end, it was not meant to be ours to keep.
Here's the photos of the fun morning.

I took a pic of her report book, but then realised that I do not know which subject each of the line items were.
Lynn and aunt Cindy had this deal about eating a whole cutter-fish by herself (don't need to share) if Lynn scored 100 marks. I did not take this to hear at all, until Lynn told me on Saturday that she wanted to bring the award to Yi-Po's house to claim her cutter-fish. So i called aunt Cindy, and arranged to go to her house for lunch on Sunday. The cutter-fish was cooked in soup, with carrot, which Lynn liked a lot. Here's sweetie eating the cheap and nice home cooked lunch.
Hopefully, we will have another fulfilling year in 2014
