Hippity Hoppity Easter
April 5th, 2007

Class 11 had an Easter Party on a Thursday morning as Friday was a Public Holiday, Good Friday. Each child brought 12 colourful plastic eggs filled with goodies in them. Poor Miss Liana had to think of many "good" hiding places for all the 288 eggs in total. The children had fun hunting down 12 eggs to take back home. You should see their faces when they were opening these eggs. So enthusiastic and serious all at the same time.. They wanted to make sure they don't get anything "girly" for the boys or anything with Spiderman, Superman & Ben10 for the girls. Spongebob?? Well both parties love it... =) After the egg hunting was over, we had a mini party in class. Of course, this means there will be lots n lots of yummylicious cookies, brownies and cupcakes for all.. Pening kepala teachers... Children HIGH on sugar and thus HYPERactivity is bound to occur! But it's only once in a while.. Holiday Spirit we said! =)

I'm a Muslim and i do not celebrate Easter of course. But i learned alot while i'm here about other cultures and religion. One question that was on my mind the whole time while the party was on, "What does Easter got to do with Bunnies and eggs?".. I thought Bunnies gave birth to their young! I learned too that Easter is one of the most celebrated religious day here in America other than Christmas. Easter has something to do with The ressurection of Jesus. Not so good in all this.. But at least i'm aware of such tradition..

Here are the pictures taken on that day! Enjoy~
