Today I woke up at 7 plus to prepare breakfast for the kids. Charlynn was coughing away the whole night and I am quite surprised that she was able to wake up on time. Charles and Charlynn were marvellous. They helped to prepared their lunch box and have their breakfast as told. Chantz was not willing to go to school. He was trying to get his way of staying at home. I think his inability to read and write is one reason why he is put off in school. In the end, we threatened to send him back to Singapore and that did it. He decided to do what he was told and was ready in no time. Today the kids will have egg mayonaise and tuna sandwich for lunch.
When we reached the school, we took photographs of the kids as it was their first day in School. We went into the school and realized there was no strict rules for school uniform. The children were wearing varied version of their school uniforms. Their uniforms are very expensive so we have to decide on what to buy.
When we reached the office as told at 8.40am, the clerk is still unsure of which classes the kids will be in. They took quite a while to figure out things. Joe paid $180 or $60 each for the kids textbks and worksheets. All these to be kept in school. After that we signed up as parent volunteers to follow our boys to visit a art gallery this week. The kids will have to take a train there. Interesting that they allow kids as young as 7 yrs old to take trains wiht some adults' supervision.
After a while, the clerk took us to the kids' classrooms. Chantz in 2N and Charles in 2 M. It's the school's practise to keep the twins in different classes. Well! They are just next door so not too bad. Charlynn is in 4B and she received a warm welcome from her class as the teacher exclaimed," Oh! it's a girl!" The class probably have too many boys so having a girl is a good thing. As for the boys, Charles went round and we managed to find the class at computer room. The class size is about 30 so the teacher will have an easier class to handle. All the kids have female teachers.
When we were back I was pleasantly pleased that the house is so quiet. Doing household chores is not too frustrating as no one is around to mess things up. I have cooked some beehoon with braised chicken as I think Children might be hungry. We gave them $1 each but a tour to the canteen and we realzed a simple meal can cost at least $3.
Well! Now is time to pick the children up at 3pm. Will write to tell you their sides of the story of their first day in school.
