We arrived a little earlier today, so we managed to make it for the morning assembly. It had just started and music was blaring away. Principal Lily was leading the assembly with most of the kids joining in for a morning dance. You just stood stuck to the ground and refused to join in the simple dance. Then the nursery children followed the teachers to their class followed by the rest of the other children.
When we went to class, I found out that there was to be swimming lessons that day. Too bad I didn't know in advance, so we didn't bring your swimming costume. Classes started shortly after the teachers cleared out all the bags of the necessities: water bottles, milk bottle and milk powder, breakfast items (packed by the parents) and swimming costumes.
Today's class started with identifying vehicles. Then the teacher made masks from earlier artwork of the children. You were rather afraid of the cat mask, so the teacher didn't give you a mask. Then was toilet break along with hand washing followed by breakfast. After that the teacher changed the kids who had swimming costumes packed and headed to the swimming pool. The principal had suggested that you swam in your undies, so you also joined the swimming class for today. You got splashed by another boy who was so enthusiastic in his swimming and got all upset as you got wet in the face. After persuading you to stay in the pool a little longer, we got out, took a shower and headed back to class. As the rest of he class was having their milk session, you also joined in having the box milk that I had packed for you. Don't want you to be left out when the rest of the class have their milk..
A little bit of colouring and it was time to leave. Ah Kong came for you as I had something on in the afternoon and my friend was picking me up from the school. You kicked a big fuss and cried all the way home. Ah Ma said you sulked for 1 hour before you finally agreed to have lunch!
And that's how your (and my) second day of school went.
