yuan yuan's first day of school (4-5 jan 10)

First day of pri school education is finally here. Parents are allowed to go to the sch for the first 2 days. Noontime was basically just to send yy to sch. During recess time, parents are only allowed to stand outside the carteen and watch from there. Each new kid has a buddy to accompany him / her for the first 2 days. There are teachers and volunteers to help out during the recess. For the first day, I have packed lunch box for yy. However he insisted on buying from the carteen for the second day which I finally gave in.

do u see him in the pic? he is in the middle sit down.

Hooray for the kids. end of lesson. The children coming out in classes. The students are supposed to raise up their hands when they see their parents/caretaker, which did not go too smoothly. Thus teachers had a hard time trying to "match" the child to their parent / caretaker from the child body gesture and expression. lucky yy is the second class just hope it is always in this sequence.

Ding yuan did not say much abt his first day experience in sch except the part where they are being introduced to the admin office where they can approach if there is an emergency. He told me that the teacher was joking with the class telling them that did not bring pencil box is not an emergency. haha I guess the staffs get a lot of such emergency requests at the start of every year. Another thing yuan yuan told me was there is a man in the sch called Mr Pig. I think he is referring to the principal, Mr Pek.

For his second day, he has PE and art & craft lesson today. What an interesting day. As for his recess I gave him $2 and had warned him in adv not to use the money to buy biscuit, drinks, sweets, stationeries and toys. Sigh! When I asked him what he wants to buy from the carteen. he replied me something that he dont get to eat at home (I wonder what is that going to be).

In the end, he bought soup noodle. so miserable with only little soup, some noodles and very thin slices of fish cake.
