Today is double happiness for us. First of all, today is our firstborn's birthday.
And today, Aqil received his first award.
Only 2 pax per pupil was allowed otherwise we'd hv attended the event as a family! 😜
It was an eye-opener for us.
A prize-giving ceremony which is different from the usual.
The whole thing was sub-divided into several small, cosy ceremonies.
So...the one that we attended was held at a Music Room.
Along with Aqil, there were 5 other pupils....with their parent(s) & teachers.
Refreshments were provided.
Individually packed & given to guests aka parent(s).
Every teacher was next to their own pupil.
Including Aqil's teachers.
The teachers helped to ensure that the kids were calm.
Every pupil was holding on to the visual prompter so that they knew what was going on & what was gonna take place next.
As per all prize-giving ceremonies, there was an emcee.
There were performances too...by the pupils there.
However, the performances were pre-recorded.
Nevertheless, we watched the video clips of performances as though they were LIVE & everyone clapped after each performance.
So sweet isn't it? 😍
As usual, we were not allowed to record anything....only own pics were allowed.
Respect that. 😘
It was only abt 10mins after we were seated that the ceremony began.
Aqil was already getting a bit restless & said "Are we starting already?"
So were the other pupils.
And throughout the ceremony, each & everyone of them started stimming...their own way.
It was a beautiful sight! 😍
And while at a 'normal' prize-giving ceremony whereby the awardees goes up the stage independently...every awardee at Eden was accompanied by their parent(s).
Each awardee was given an envelope consisting of a cert & cheque.
One threw the envelope to the floor.
One didn't wanna take the envelope.
One started to bite the envelope.
And everyone just laughed it off. 😂
Parent(s) took their time to snap pics with their child & no one was rushed.
The ceremony for the 6 awardees took half an hour. 😉
After the prize-giving ceremony, we were brought to the canteen where there were 2 photo booths.
Many interesting props were made available.
Parent(s) were allowed to take as many pics as we wanted with our children.
And the pics were printed on-the-spot for us. 😎
We felt so at home.
Everything was so cosy for the pupils & also parents.
The teachers welcomed parents at the lobby.
Brought parents to the venue.
Stayed by pupils' side throughout...reminding pupils of the visual prompter now & then.
Brought parents & pupils to photo booths.
Walked us back to the lobby before parting.
From the moment we stepped into the sch to the moment we stepped out of the sch.
Kudos to the teachers of Eden. 😍
A time well-spent with our lil king at his school.
Then we headed back to celebrate our firstborn's birthday.
Thank you الله....for everything! ❤️
