first day of school

Ally was very excited to go to the Nursery which her sister has been attending for K1 & K2. Ally has been there several times before, she knows the routine the teachers, she has been talking about this day for the whole holiday.

Her bus will come at 7:15am, usually, she is still asleep at this hour, but she got up without kicking a fuss, prepared herself to go to school.

In class, she was very well behaved. Although she kept yawning and tried to look interested in the things around her, but I know that she is starting to feel sleepy.


They played Water-Play and listened to teachers tell story, ate together during tea-break, learnt to pray before eating.


Isabel had a tougher and longer day for her first day of Primary 1, its my fault that I have described primary 1 to be such a "No-Fun" place. She was feeling very apprehensive about going to school. Her face turned green when the school bus arrived and required a little hard persuasion to get on it.

But as we saw her in recess time later, she was better and made friend with an older girl who was assigned to help her familiarize with the school facilities.

Its really tough to see her go to school for such long hours everyday, she looked so tired when I fetched her in the evening. I hope she adjusts well and fast to the new routine and be happy in it.

Glad that things went well for the first day of school! :)

Yeah, school hours are indeed long, and to think that Damien's school are planning to extend it on certain days...sigh...

I have a first timer at kindy and another first timer at primary school too and like you the younger one adjusted better. I guess the big school is an overwhelming big change for them so they need more time to adjust.
