Medina Just Won Another Award from Her School!

Yay! Yesterday, Medina just got another award from her school. It is called Megabot Award, for the best achievements in doing regular homeworks.
This time, she got the award because she is good at cursive writing.
The certificate states:
"Medina Azzahra is an excellent learner because she is able to apply what she does for her homework into her lessons at school".

Medina sat in front of all KS1 students (Year 1 to Year 3) with other award recipients. And the headteacher called the winners one by one, and read her/his achievement and asked their teacher to explain why they chose these particular students.

Good job, Medina! Alhamdulillah.

Previous awards for Medina:  5 December 2016, 26 May 2016, and 16 May 2016.

Best of Summer (3): Medina's 6th Birthday Party

Finally, this is it!
After a long wait--Medina kept asking "Am I six now" almost everyday since April--Medina celebrated her 6th Birthday Party!
It is not a princess topic or anything like that. It is sporty!
We had the party a day after her birthday, at a Gymnasti and Trampolining center near our house.
Some pictures and videos:

"Am I 6 today?": Medina's Birthday's list.

Being the youngest in her class, Medina got many 6th birthday party invitations from her classmates since last year. So, she wants to have her own birthday party and invite her friends to her "party club". Unfortunately, her birthday is still 3 months away.

Starting few weeks ago, she keeps on asking us the same question almost every day: " Am I 6 years old, now?"? She wishes that she is 6.

And she starts to make a list. And the list is getting longer and longer.

Inek Berkunjung Ke Inggris Lagi!

Akhirnya,  setelah 4 tahun tak menginjakkan kakinya di Inggris,  datang mengunjugi Medina di Bristol. Dari 24 Januari hingga 12 Februari. Kali ini Akek absen dulu, dan Inek ditemani Tante Henny.  

Maka kami pun jalan-jalan. Tiga tempat utama tujuan kami adalah Bath (yang cuma sejam dari Bristol),  Cardiff (Ibukota Wales, sekitar 1,5  jam), dan tentu saja London yang sekitar 2,5 jam-an.

Di Bristol, kami pun mengeksplorasi khususnya daerah pusat kota (Harborside, Cathedral) dan tentu saja pusat belanja.

Bath adalah kota kecil yang isinya berkaitan dengan pernak pernik permandian. Di sini kami mencoba Fudge yang terkenal.

Cardiff adalah ibukota Wales yang bahasanya didominasi oleh konsonan. Selain Kastil, Bay-nya punya pemandangan yang indah, termasuk Doctor Who Experience.

London, tentu saja adalah daya tarik utama. Kami mengunjungi Big Ben dan sekitarnya (London Eye), juga ke daerah London Bridge dan Tower Bridge. Dan terakhir, ke Harrods yang gemerlapan.

Selain jalan-jalan, teman-teman kami di Bristol sangat baik hati mengundang makan dan mengajak jalan, di antaranya ke Swindon, Suspension Bridge, dan  Gloucester. Terima kasih banyak buat Mbak Willy, Mbak Nuning, Dewi Showering, dan Mbak Ina.
