Lady Faith Is Officially Primary One

Being the brand new year, a brand new start… our Lady Faith is officially Primary One today… the next chapter of her life.  Woke up earlier than usual this morning and started preparing her for school.  She was pretty much excited about going to school not knowing what to expect.

When she was all set and ready for school, we sent her down to wait for her school bus which is her first experience. After she left with her school bus, we set of to her school too. Parents were given 2 days to be in school with their child and we felt that 1 day will be good enough.

When we arrived at school shortly, we saw Lady Faith already seated in line with her classmates according to their classes. They were all ready to get to their class and many parents including us were snapping pictures away and even managed to wave her goodbye on her way to her classroom.

Parents were later asked to be seated in the school hall for a short introduction by the principal. It was an interesting session indeed and after listening to the principal, we are confident that our child is in good hands. We, parents at times need to learn to let go and allow space for our children to be independent.

We were then allowed to check on our children during their recess and man… it was CHAOTIC! So many kids and queue were too long. Thank goodness Faith brought her own lunch box and she was happy having recess at the comfort of her class table. All P1 were accompanied by their buddy from P4 for the 1^st week and Faith was really happy with her 2 buddies.

Seeing that happy face even in the chaotic situation, I felt that everything’s gonna be alright with her and I am sure she will grow with it. J
