2011, 2nd last day of the year mark the day, Zoey went for her first orientation day in her primary school. At first, I was quite worry on whether she could adapt to the new environment especially it is quite different from her preschool day.. but somehow, it is just the opposite. She enjoying her time in school despite she is one of the 2 chinese student in this school, In fact, there was only 20 students in her school for primary one.
A little ” too” little i would said but to me, Zoey would have more attention from her teachers and being in a class with only 20 students would have the advantage of getting more one to one time with her teachers rather than to have more than 40 students in a class in other school.,
Today for her orientation, Zoey got a chance to mixed around with her friends and tell you, despite only met today, she already have some friend that she could mixed around as the language no longer a barrier to her. She is able to communicate in malays and English with her friends and teachers. Quite a different orientation for the students whereby all her standard one teachers are there to bring them around the school showing them their class, amenities and, teaches them how to buy food from school canteen, They in fact sit together and chat with them..
At first, really I was slightly worry whether Zoey would able to adapt to this environment, but the result is something that I don’t expect very much. Deep down. I feel so happy that she going to move to another phase of life and yet, I realised she no longer baby anymore. she have her own feeling and opinion and each time we ask her whether she okay in her new school she replied ” yes mommy, i’m very happy”. .. It is just the answer that i needed from her as I know this is the best decision that I have make to ensure my girl would have the best education and happy memory on her primary school…
