Behind Time

Meant to blog about Justin’s school Picnic and Race two weeks ago but I really have no time and the energy. What am I busy with? Well, what I can say is the night is short and supervising him finishing his work will take up most of the evening and then by 1030pm I will be in bed, too shack to do anything else.

Well, enough is said, stealing some time to update my blog.

To mark the end of the orientation week, the school organized a Picnic and Race for all the P1 kids. Parents are strongly encouraged to come, mingle with kid’s classmates’ parents, build up a network and of course, exchange emails and hp# to keep in touch.

The event started with a picnic in the hall! Hahaha, Kel and I were expecting to sweat out in the sun, sit on the grass patch and picnic. But, we were told it is in the hall! So, we laid our mats (actually, no need) and took out all our food to share among the kids. While the kids were having fun eating junk food, the parents will chat and exchange contacts.

Then, we are all ready and energize for the Race! The class is divided into 4 subgroup and we are given a set of questions where the answers could be found around the school. So, off we go to search for the answers and it was fun! And the whole race ended with a teamwork item for the boys to foster their friendship and mark the start of perhaps 3 years together in a class before they go for streaming in P4.

Today, we were in school again to meet Justin’s form teacher. This is a usual meet-the –parents session to set the expectations, requirements as well as update on the whole year school events for 2009.

Both the MT and form teacher presented the events of the year and their expectations towards the boys and of course, the schedules of various tests, SA etc.

After June, there will be a carnival and the class is supposed to work together to start a stall to raise fund for the school. Starting now, we are suppose to brainstorm for ideas.. Woo..being a parent nowadays are really stressful!
