Merdeka Spirit

Choo-er Filed Under:
Cayden's Montessori has always been supportive of our national celebrations by getting the preschoolers to dress up according to the occasion.

The whole month of August was dedicated to celebrating Independence day.

The first Friday of the month was Malay and the kids wore Malay costumes to school. For lunch, they were all made to sit on the floor and had nasi lemak [minus the sambal tho].

Should have gotten this 'Hang Tuah' a songkok to complete the look.
Totally forgot about that :p





The following week was Chinese but somehow Cayden couldn't tell me what was the food they had. I guess it would have most likely been some Chinese style fried rice.





Kung fu kid aka. Choo Fei Hung





His classmates and teacher
[kesian the lil' Caucasian kid was the odd one out]



The final week before the school break was Indian or any other race in the country and it turned out to be a Bollywood fiesta in the school. The kids had roti canai for their break.

  2. Excellent idea but parents have to spend money to buy all those costumes then?

    Cayden looks so handsome in the Malay baju but doesn't look too pleased in the next photo. I love the Indian dance one though!

  4. Oh...he was trying to look fierce in the pix hence the displeasure look :)

    Haha...the parents can always borrow the costumes to save cost. Alternatively, just go to school in their normal uniform coz it wasn't compulsory :)
