Arianne's Eighth Year
Arianne's eighth year is a year of great strides. Our 'big girl' is very much into Stagecoach, a theatre class she attends with Annike every Saturday. Arianne enjoys performing and her singing is especially getting better and better. Although still a bit shy, she is gaining more and more confidence in her abilities. She also attends swimming lessons and is developing into quite a strong swimmer.

Arianne now has a very established set of friends but is still makes new friends quite effortlessly. She just loves her little sister and finds Annike very amusing. You'll find Arianne always hugging and kissing her sister.

Academically, Arianne is doing extremely well. Her teacher's only negative comment was that she should talk less in class. Those of you who might have known me or Jammy when we were kids would know that this trait comes from both parents. Arianne enjoys reading proper books now and also loves to write her own stories. She also received a silver medal for her work in Kumon, a math programme that involves a lot of daily hard work, even on holidays.

Thankfully, she has now realised other colours are also nice, aside from pink! Arianne's colour preference in clothes have expanded quite dramatically in the last year.
