The story? She fell while running with a few friends in the playground - what more can I say? She came back that day with cuts on her face and knee. Gladly the teachers had cleaned the cuts and put a band aid on her knee.
Did I mentioned about the Burns Week? Among the activities are recitation of Burns' poems. Though Mia entered as well, she did not win for her category (but she's OK with that - she forgotten the two middle lines of Cat & Mous. However, Danish & Hakim are much luckier - they received the Certificate of Merit from the Robert Burns World Federation Limited.
Danish did not just won the Certificate but also chosen as the Pupil of the Week. He recited the Robert Burns poem entitled "Address To A Haggis". Hakim recited "A Dug A Dug"
This makes me wonder though. Perhaps, our schools back home should celebrate our own Sasterawan as well - how many of our younger generations today have read the writings of Usman Awang, Tongkat Waran, Khadijah Hashim and Arenawati to name a few? Maybe some efforts has to be taken to do these Sasterawan justice....
