Student care

P started in student care in mid of dec, hoping that she will get used to the routine of nt napping. The first 2 days was cool, she was excited. Came the 3rd day, she refused to go. The chinese teacher feedbacked to me on 2nd day that P chinese is nt good n asked if i considering tuition for her. What the heck, it is only her 2nd day attending student care and she has such high expectation.

Had a chat with the teacher again this morning, she told me whatever they did in student care is k2 foundation.... Indeed she has high expectation.

Perhaps we nt doing enuff to prepare P for P1, but then again y stressing a 6yo so much.... Just wana see her enjoys goin to school. She no need to be top 10 in class but will be a bonus if she is.....

Friday will be her first day, hope she will enjoy her first day in P1. Partly P is a stuborn kid, plus a bit of laziness.... It is time  we need to stop MIO plan....

P1 orientation

P cried when we took her to oriention. She is the only 1 out of the 240 P1 kids who cry..... Sigh..... Partly is because she is tired.... Saw her classmates, she is nt the shortest....

I m impressed with the principal, she is very practical. She kept emphasising that we parents ought to believe in our kids as all of them have hidden talents. She told parents to encourage the children to read books rather than ipad, all great men and women read alot. She actually reminded me again about the rolls of a parents to nurture rather than pushing them to do what i wnt them to......

All books and uniforms are ready. The chances of getting into school after school care is zero. The after school care that i have in mind is full..... No choice but to sign up for another one, which is just opposite home, provide transport to after school care. They emphasize on spelling and maths (no complaining there).

I just hope P will enjoys her primary school life.

Making new frens

Told P tt none of classmates is going to the same school as her and asked how she felt abt it. To my surprise she told m its OK, i will just make new frens like making new frens in playground.

I m shocked by her reply, she is optimistic abt it rather than worried abt change of environment. She is looking forward to Primary. Her daycare has prepared her for primary very well.

Bye CJ

After spending 1 mth in ICU, CJ just moved at home this afternoon. We all learned precious lesson from him. The most optimist person i have ever met.

Take care K. RIP CJ.

Children's Day

P spend her children's day in Adelaide. She had lotsa fun in playground n beach. Once holiday ended, it was back to school. When i picked her up after school, she has a bagful of gifts. Our favourite gift is by Teacher S, it was a scrapbook of outing by the K2. It is a very meaningful gift. Thank you for the time and effort for making the scrapbook, it is priceless. From the photos, can see that all the kids have grown up so much in this 10 mth.......

P oso got a very personal gift from Teacher L. A book with her name n besties in it. She was over the moon when she read the title. 

Thank you all for all the gifts. P really like them.

Playground

During the trip, we spend alot of time in the playground. Playground here are very children friendly, and everyone follows the rules. It is like a big melting pot where children of all races and religions play together and have fun. P blends in pretty well, making new frens and having fun. If only the adults are the same then there will not be wars.

All the kids are so lovely, they tok abt everything. P's vocab improved quite a bit and so is her courage. She will walk up to the kids in playground and intro herself and asked if she can play with them. Whereas i sit under the sun n see them play..... life is good

Memories

Did some cleaning today... Clearing up spaces for new things.... Found P's old clothes, there were so small. Looking at her now she has grown so much... Found her first panties, she wore them in N1. I remember having a hard time finding xs panties for her...

Memories floating back just looking at those old clothes......
