On December 1st the children at the NIS were all very excited and nervous. This was the big day that Sinterklaas and his 'Zwarte Pieten' were coming to vsit the school. For Noah this was an extra special day, because this was also the day that he brought treats for his birthday to school. 
At 7:30 all the kids were outside the school on the stairs, at the school entrance, anxiously awiting Sinterklaas' arrival.
At 7.45, after singing lots of songs he finally arrived by BECAK ( a 3 wheel bicycle taxi), which was pretty hilarious and unfortunately I could not get a picture of this .
Everybody moved then to the school gym for an all school assembly with performances from all the kids. Noah loved it and was very much involved singing the songs and trying out the dance steps. After the assembly all the kids had to go back to their classrooms and the Sint and his Zwarte Pieten came into the classrooms for a little chat and to give the kids pepernoten and presents.
What a great day for the kids and I already feel bad for Noah (and myself) that he will not be able to celebrate Sinterklaas like this again. Next year he will be at JIS. Oh well...can't have it all!
