School's Out

Most, if not all students in Singapore, at least those in mainstream schools, are most happy with the passing of today. Today is the last day of school. End of Term 1! Marieann was most happy about having a one week break from school. She has even asked if she can be excused from attending tuition during the one week break, citing it is her holiday and she should be having a holiday from tuition too. Sorry, no can do. Maybe during the one month break in June... I may consider lol.

The only person who is upset about the one week break is Juliane. She is in preschool and her preschool does not follow the mainstream school holiday calendar. She was mumbling, "Not fair. Not fair. Not fair." the entire time since she knew about her sister's one week holiday. Don't worry, Juliane, when you are in P1 next year, you will have your one week holiday too, along with the homework, tests, and exams! Haha. :P

New School Year

Marieann is now in P2. A couple of her former P1 classmates are in the same class as she is now. It is good that she has a couple of familiar faces around and still has the opportunity to make new friends. :) Oh, homework has already started coming in... :P

Juliane is now in K2. Her entire K1 class graduated and transitioned into K2 in late December 2009, with only a new girl joining the K2 class. Juliane is excited to be in K2 as she is now being looked up upon by the younger kids in preschool. :)

So far, I am glad that both are enjoying school. Both of them seem to be on top of things, doing their homework without having me to tell them. :) I hope their enjoyment and excitement for school continues... :)
