Time flies. A year just slipped by and this week of school term is filled with PTMs, open house, farewell parties & the anxiety of receiving the report book.
Enjoyed watching mei's performance & how she interacted with friends in school. She's loud & clear in her singing & recital, great in her motor skills to coordinate the dance steps & followed the timing of the song playing on the xylophone. Mummy was busy snapping photo of her proud moments while she explained her art work including the missing kite that has been chosen to appear in the school magazine.
Spent some time talking to the form teacher as she won't be taking them through K2 next year. As a mum herself, she shared her experience of bringing up children of different abilities and characters, juggle worklife balance & latest changes of pri school system which I have not realized. Specific to mei's development, she recommended to practice more on addition questions through games like fishing (add up 2 cards to get the number). Learning through play is so much fun, we will definitely play more this holidays.
For gorgor, it was time to clear his locker & school bag. Well, 1 learning point is that we will need plastic covers to sustain his books for mei to use. His worksheets & quizzes are all crumpled even with a folder. Guess he's still not organized enough & room for improvement in P2.
Academically, he came in 1st in position & aced all 3 core subjects with occasional Bs in social studies, moral education & PE. I know his motor skills are still not as developed & even received a letter to go for a flat-foot check. I'm proud that he has completed the 1st leg of the marathon but also know that there's a long way to go. There will definitely be some disappointment in upper pri & sec school grades in later part of his life as P1 is relatively easy. I'll wait for that moment to deal with it. Meanwhile, it's time to pack for our 1st road trip...
