Zq promoted to K2!

Today marks Zq's 1st day of K2 in Zebedee! I would think it's another milestone of him as very soon, the same time next year, he will start his formal education of Year 1 in an International School (if all the arrangement goes on smoothly as planned).

It was a short class today as parents were encouraged to accompany them for the 1st day from 10am-12pm. It's an opportunity for the parents to get to know the curriculum better and to mingle around. From what i observed, Miss Diane is quite a stern yet humorous teacher. She is engaging and the kids seems to like her even though it's their 1st day with her.

To my surprise, Zq was rather clingy and uneasy. Not his usual self at all. This is what i least expected as those are his K1 classmates, so he should be very familiar with them. Anyway, he insisted to hold onto my hands even when they were having their circle time. I had to join in and sat beside the children for the good 20minutes. Luckily, he was back to his chirpy self again when it was freeplay time. He was "glued" to the kitchen/ home area for the longest, as he was the only one there initially and some other kids joined in later on. There are art & craft area, train area, and some jigsaw puzzle area but he only fancied the kitchen. Well, i am sure he inherits my good genes! :)

I hope he settles down in his new class soon. I see that all his classmates are very friendly and eloquent, and i certainly hope some good friendships will blossom between Zq and them. And next, the applications of Year 1 of International Schools start soon! Wish me good lucks!
