first taste of school

mingwei and shiqi attended school for 3 days during the last week of school term here. the idea is to get them familiarize with their new school environment sooner. not to mention they are basically bored stiff from doing nothing much during the last 3 weeks or so.

they made friends quickly and enjoyed school.
orchard grove primary school is a mere 5 minutes stroll from our place. as there are a lot of autonomy in the way school is run, the school have joint classes, level 1 consists of prep, level 2 for year 1 and 2 students. shiqi will be in level 3 where year 3 students will join the year 4 while mingwei will be in level 4. they will learn german as a second language and there are many electives where students are assessed on their interests level and placed in groups where they will taught on areas of their assessed strengths. this could be in the area of language, arts or sports.
