Christmas concert
Jack and Molly had their Christmas concert tonight.
It's always the highlight of the Christmas season for us.
Tonight both Molly and Jack sang beautifully and Molly also performed another dance with her dance group.
It was a really fun evening and the last time Jack will have an Elementary concert at Christmas!

Snowy December
We have now had school cancelled for just about all weather related things- hot weather, typhoon and now a snow day!
It was amazing to see snow fall so quickly and pile up.
It was even more fun to have a massive snow ball fight around the new campus!

Christmas is coming
Christmas is coming.
We have had lots of snow, sub freezing temperatures and lots of rain. It has been cold, cold, cold in the lead up to Christmas.
Here are some pics from December:
These are some from the Christmas Bazaar photo booth which Peter and I ran to raise money for our Mission Kids here in Korea.
This week we have a short week and finish on Wednesday... boy are we looking forward to some R+R!
I don't ever remember a busier Semester.
Merry Christmas everyone and see you in 2013!

October
October has flown by...
We have been here and there is Korea. Most notable we went on a day trip to Ulsan to have a tour of the largest ship building facility in the world. Can you believe they feed over 30,000 people a day in their cafeteria. A parent at TCIS was kind enough to organize the tour and lunch for us for the day.
My tennis team has been traveling all over Korea for matches and tournaments. We have not really had great results this year, even though my team is stronger than last year. Still the girls have learned a lot about being athletes and managing themselves in stressful and busy circumstances. I spent 3 nights in Seoul last week for an Asia- Pacific tournament with schools from Vietnam, Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul and Hog Kong. These are all International Schools so there were many nationalities of students playing. A great experience for the students.
Jack had his soccer jamboree and unfortunately I could not go because I was coaching Tennis. However, he had a great time and is turing into a great little soccer player- first Pearse ever!
Molly has been doing dance club and had a performance this morning with her little group. While she was looking a little stage frightened this morning she still enjoyed herself!
Jack is also learning trumpet this year and has started lesson with one of our senior boys. He is loving it and has been tooting away each night trying to get better.
Tomorrow Jack has his Taekwondo test for his brown belt. I'm not sure he has been practicing as much as he should have, but we hope he can move up to this belt.

When did it become September???????
I can't quite believe it is September.
We are about to start our 4th week of school.
So far it has been a crazy, busy, but rewarding time (not without it's frustrations though).
Last week was VERY busy.
We had to get the school ready for the Grand Opening. This was attended by the whose, who of Korean celebrities and influential people. On the same day we had parent Open House where we meet all of the parents and explain our curriculum to them.
On top of that my tennis team had 3 matches- 2 home and 1 away game. So it has meant a 6 day week again for me. The tennis courts were opened and blessed officially by our headmaster Dr Penland.
As parents we also attended Molly and Jack's classrooms to get the lowdown on what they have been doing. They are both incredibly blessed with very caring teachers who want to see them succeed. These teachers have taken a construction zone and turned it into beautiful learning spaces.
Here are a few pictures of Molly in her classroom.
