Wider Circle of Friends

Now that a full month's gone by (in a whizz) with Nic starting her primary one school term, it seems that she has settled down well in her new environment. She also seems more familiar with her classmates and is able to relate to me about any interesting incidents that occur in the classroom. Her form teacher has divided all 28 of them into 5 groups - Gracious, Integrity, Responsibility, Respect and Resilience (the 5 values of the school). Nic belongs to the group Integrity and in this group, each of them is assigned a role. Hers would be the social studies leader whilst her groupmates are each made leader for other subjects - English, Maths, Music, Civics & Moral Education (CME). Her circle of friends have widened to include pupils from other neighbouring classes as they are banded into different classes for Mother Tongue lessons. In our latest conversation, she mentions some new male friends like Ron (who is in the same group for her Mother Tongue lesson), Fabian, Timothy, Jun Xi and Nick. New girl classmates include Alvernia, Melissa (her queue partner), Dion, Janelle, Sheares, Putri, Akida, Vivien and Yu Jing.

Mummy is definitely glad and relieved that she has settled down well and enjoys her Primary One class. Her favourite subjects are Maths, Music and Art & Craft. Meanwhile, she will do a trial Show & Tell in class tomorrow with her rag doll as part of practicing for the SEED project presentation. Let's hope she will have lots to say about it when she gets back.
