First Day At School 2010

MMM:

I think it's the next milestones in their life that makes parents so anxious.


Personally, I think it's an adjustment for them :
1) Moving from a class size of 20 (K2) to 30 (P1)?
2) Moving from an environment with less than 100 kids? to many times more
3) Moving to formal education where they now have to sit many tests and exams for years to come
4) Moving towards independence where they have to manage their own money and take the public transport by themselves?

For me, my P2 moving to P3 this year is like another milestone and adjustment. Eg. From PM to AM session and she has to get use to waking up early. Additional subject (science) and immediately she feels the workload increasing as compared to P2. Told her the honeymoon period is over.....

Yes I agree...the excitement exist because the school is many times larger and the cohort is about 5 times bigger! :lol:

[MMM]

Yes... that describes our situation. People don't believe that he is only P2 as he looks much bigger than that. He looks like a giant beside most of his friends except the other 2 who are slightly taller than him.


In our case, all my kids belong to the tall and heavy type..... all thanks to my mum's cooking despite that the last 2 are premature babies. I am 1.62M while hubby is around 1.75M so don't think we got tall genes since my parents and pils are shorter than us.

The kids take enfa series milk when they are young. It was only recently that we switch them to fresh milk for the 2 older kids. But they love to drink milk. Hubby is worried that dd 1 become too tall that she can't find a boyfriend. She is P3 currently, tallest and heaviest in class type. Concidentally her best friend is the smallest girl in class. So the girl stand up to her shoulder at most... Meanwhile for my K1, she was 1.8kg at birth but currently 90+ percentile but she only drinks soy milk due to lactose intolerance. Maybe my mum really has the \"magic recipe\" to blow them up like balloons...... :!: Pros and cons. Imagine going for a buffet and people will doubt if they are indeed below certain age.

Another year to have adjustment is from p4 to p5. wkload increased and might have banded into different class.

So do you plan to post his \"first day in school in 2010\" pictures here for us to admire his size? My same P2 is 2/3 of a long ruler shorter. :lol:

As the kids progress, it is like getting more stressful and P1 and P2 indeed appear to be the honeymoon period. No wonder friends always pass that comment, they are only in lower primary.....

My eldest is in P3 and it's scary to imagine that we need to prepare her for PSLE in few years time. Also how are they going to cope with additional subject and how will they eventually turn out. What can we do to ensure they are fine so that when it comes to PSLE, we have plenty of school choices. :scared:

Maybe Chief can extend to first 3 days of 2010, then can still take a picture in uniform at home and post here.

OK... my contribution... see that Lady in Red with 1 foot going up into the school bus? That's Mrs CKS on her way to demonstrating to my boy how he should ride in the school bus safely to get to school which is a couple of hundred meters across the road. Believe it or not, the driver actually let her ride in the schoolbus with all the kids... :roll:

Mrs CKS has nice, shapely legs. :evil:

Haha admire????? It's the opposite attracts. How I wish my kids are lighter and not so big etc... especially the girls :lol: Buying clothes is always a problem. Eg. I am buying 12 yrs old bermudas for him so he wears it as 3/4 pants. So long as he don't put on weight, I think he can effectively wear the same pants for many years.
