Today is Shee Yun's official first day of primary school. She is in the afternoon session. All Primary 1 and 2 pupils are in the afternoon session. She looks forward very much to going to primary school. I hope she has a great first day. I work at home today (well, in fact will be doing so almost the whole of this month), and helped her change into her school uniform. The most challenging part is tying her hair into a ponytail. Even after a number of attempts, it still didn't look quite right. So Michelle had to redo it when she picked Shee Yun up to send her to school.
This year Shee Yun studies in the afternoon session but Chen Rui is still in the morning session, so arranging our weekly schedule is a challenge. Many extra-curricular activities need to be moved to the weekend or evening, e.g. ballet and BM tuition (which both of them attend). Shee Yun's school extra-curricular activity is not confirmed yet. She seems to want to participate in many of them, e.g. dancing, drawing, gymnastics, but I think the school mandates one activity for every pupil, no more no less. We will probably finalise that before arranging other regular tuition, e.g. English tuition. Shee Yun and Chen Rui's English is good, but we want them to be exposed to more, because Naam Kheung only has 5 English lesson per week, as opposed to 12 and 10 for Chinese and BM respectively. I thought all languages would be emphasised equally.
This afternoon Chen Rui played with angpow. She asked me what was meant to be inside. I told her money. Then she said she didn't want to put money inside. She starting cutting out rectangular pieces of paper and writing "100" on them, and then putting them into the angpows. She is making counterfeit money.
