schooDoesn’t he look like a big boy now in that Primary School Uniform? Aaawww… my boy has grown so much!

Last Saturday we went for his Primary One Orientation. It was definitely an experience of a lifetime.

He was led to a classroom where he was accessed, while we were at the hall addressed by the Principal.

After 2hours, we met up again…

Keatkeat: “Mommy, so did you guys had fun?”

Me: “Yup! Did you? What did you do?”

Keatkeat: “Yes. I do 10pages of worksheets. Many spellings. Then I draw something too.”

Me: “What words were you asked to spell?”

Keatkeat: “Clock, Frog, People, Chair, Ball and… I forget already.”

Me: “So do you know how to spell them?”

Keatkeat: “My teacher very nice. She say ‘Good Try’.”

My sis and I exchanged looks. We know very well what does ‘Good Try’ meant. Its just a nicer way of saying ‘You have Failed the Test.’

Indeed, when I asked my boy to spell the above words, he could only get 2 correct. Yup, that’s his standard, just like what his preschool teacher said in my previous post.

So that is how the newbies of the Primary school are being separated into their different classes since a few years back. The smart with the intelligent and the slower ones with the need-more-time-to-coach students.

I would not be surprise if my boy landed up in the latter class. Like I have said in my previous post, it does NOT affect me, so long as it does not kill his eagerness to learn. *smile*

***Dear Friends, these weeks have been a roller coaster ride for me. Now that school holidays have started, my ‘own‘ time-table is greatly adjusted. Hardly have time to blog or even blog hop to your place. So sorry… Once I get the new momentum, I’ll definitely leave a footprint over there…
