      Tamarind,

      Its different.For my gal, the school compound is huge! It's a single session combined with primary and seconday. She has to walk to the classroom herself so I guess it can be overwhelming.

      Parents are also anxious because they worry about acaedemic results? that's my guess..........
      kaitlynangelica,
      Your girl's school does not have the buddy system ? Yes I think it will be overwhelming to find the classroom herself.


      buds, tankee,
      My girl has a buddy, a P5 girl very faithfully following her around, everywhere she goes. That's why she thought that I was a nuisance 😉

        My girl's first recess meal in school - fried bee hoon with sausages. Taken in 2007.

        Thanks rains! Your poor DS looked rather lonely there, sitting by herself. Where was her buddy?

        Haha, she had a P5 prefect and classmate as buddies. I can't remember where her buddies went. Probably went to buy things. The P5 buddy always help my girl buy food first before she did it for the other girl. Maybe she knew my girl was a baby. She kept coming over to the seat nearest to where I stood for the 3 days. My girl's classmate didn't even have her parents with her on those 3 days.

          Yes, the buddies usually buy food for the new P1 children

          first before their own. Easier. 😉

          P1 no need to queue so long to get to eat. So while the
          P1 eats, buddy gets food and later joins her at the table.

          My DD1's old buddies from P4 would come to me to tell me
          what they ate together and what they would be doing with
          her after makan. The buddies also introduce DD1 to all her
          P4 classmates & play chasing together or the human snakes
          and ladders game near the canteen.

            some schools allow parents to go for 3 days, some school only allow 1 day.


            some schools allocate P5 buddies from day 1, some school only from day 2.

            My DS's school is the latter for both case .... 😞

            luckily he seems to be quite settled in and has adapted to the change faster than me ....

            😢 I want my baby 😢 :oops: 😉

                P1 still baby meh... 😐

                Heh heh heh.. just kidding lar.
                Our children will always be our baby.
                But we dun hafta \"baby\" them so that
                they can grow up more independent...
                Just read how many babies told their
                parents to shoo away from 1st day
                onwards. 😛

                My DD1 covered her face in some of
                the shots hubs took. She said, \"Stop
                taking pictures of me!\" :lol:

                        I went on the 1st day to my DS's recess. Parents were only allowed to watch the kids behind a barricade surrounding the canteen...I stood there for 30mins and could not spot my 😢

                        Was wondering y d sch allow parents to visit but refused to let them get close :?
