Standard 1 Orientation Day

姐姐's Standard one Orientation Day! Take a photo of her in new school uniform as momento. See the pinafore is below her knees. But as this post is ~2 mths back-dated, the pinafore is now slightly above her knees. We just manage to get the memo from her ballet school to allow her to keep her hair, but must be kept in a bun for school.



弟弟 sneak into the class and we just take a photo with him at the desk 姐姐 just sat. She told us now she is sitting at different place.


姐姐 in her class


Waiting at the school hall. Orientation started with introduction of all the teachers and speech by Principal.


In the class again. The children are given some exercises to do in class. Not sure if the other classes started doing work, but 姐姐's class started right away. They were given text books and work books during Orientation Day.

We like this school because it is considered near our home and have only 4 classes this year, less than 40 children in each class. Actually when we register we didn't know it's 4 classes, but it's a bonus. I cannot imagine sending the children to school with 10 classes~! There are actually schools with 10 classes for standard 1. Imagine the crowd at the canteen and after school jam. The school is quite organized, they hv time-table and whole year program schedule from the start. They also send notices to parents to inform about important stuff, such as replacement classes, special occasions, collection of school fees, special things to bring etc.

Fortunately this year is starting KSSR, new syllabus for Primary One kids. Seems like more comprehension and understanding is emphasized. We hope she love learning at her new school.
