Nadine in Primary 1

Nadine has been in Primary 1 for a month now.

As expected, she's adapted really well, although her first day didn't go too well. She had been nursing a cough, and had threw up some phlegm in class. So during recess, her form teacher actually came looking for me in the crowd of anxious parents, and asked me to take her home.

I think besides not feeling well, she was also suffering from a bit of a culture shock - all that seriousness in class, with no more song and dance, and the loooong hours, were a bit too much for her. It took quite a bit of persuasion from both us to get her to agree to go back to school the next day.

The other highlight of her first week in primary school was her going to complain to her principal about a P2 girl who had said that all the girls in her class were ugly! Apparently the principal had just taught the girls during assembly to be nice to each other, and not to say anything rude to one another. Principal also told the P1s that they could go to her anytime. So Nadine took her literally! Think she was so used to her LSK principal who was so approachable!

Well, hopefully, she'll not keep going to see the principal, for good or bad, in her 6 years there!
