It had been an exciting start for Aces family for 2011. Yes, this year marked the beginning of 6 years of primary education for Anders.
On 1st day of school – 4 January 2011, I accompanied him into the school compound. Parents were allowed admission of the 1st two days of school. After saying goodbye to Anthea, I brought Anders to his class – 1 Bravery.
Most of the children had reported to class and I noticed only a few seats were left in the classroom. So he took his seat and waited for his form teacher to start introduction.
The school had kindly organized a Kopi Session aka Parents information session for the P1 parents. We were led to the AVA room on the 3rd floor. Breakfast of fried bee hoon was served with coffee/tea and water. During the 2 hours breakfast session, the school gave some valuable tips to the parents and also provides a breakdown of the P1 Holistic Assessment.
After the session ended, we went to the canteen and were allow to watch from far how the P1 children lined up and bought their food. Each P1 child had a P5 student to buddy them and help them with the buying of food for the 1st week.
Anders was very happy and I could see him enjoying his 1st purchase from the canteen. Then he came over and asked if he could buy a drink. I told him Yes. : )
Recess was ½ hour and when it was over, all the parents were asked to leave the school compound. I went home to prepare a simple lunch for them and returned at 1pm to fetch both Anders and Anthea.
Day 2 – 5 January: we had 2nd day of Kopi session provided by the school. This time, the different subject HODs gave introduction of the school curriculum and also some important pointers on social network behavior. There was also a talk given by the Parents Support Group and I signed up for some ad-hoc activities.
At recess time, I saw Anders bought himself a bowl of noodle soup. It was a good improvement and knowing that he was able to handle a hot item on his own was quite assuring.
Day 3 – I said goodbye to both Anthea and Anders at the gate and went off for my exercise.
Now that both of them are studying in the morning session, it makes it easier for me to plan my own morning exercise and work routine.

Recently we bought a new study table for Anders as he wanted something similar to Anthea and the new table was delivered on Wednesday. Now the room is my home office cum their study area.
A new year and a NEW routine with the new beginning. I am looking forward to an exciting year of 2011 !!
