Ally went to school. It’s been two days now. She’s really excited about it, as long as Mummy stays within not less than one-feet radius!
So yesterday and today, we did colouring, pasting, learned jolly phonics and sang. We sang The Wheels on The Bus, the Bangun Pagi Song, Old McDonald and lots, lots more. We were introduced to our new friends – Amanda, Ariana, Jefferson, Zoe, Zeeshan and Zeidan. Yesterday we had Coco Crunch for our snack and today, we were given porridge. We had fun, oh, so much fun. Except for that 30-minute stretch when Mummy found an opportunity to sneak out of the classroom and Ally cried like there’s no tomorrow. Teacher Su finally decided to get Mummy back into the classroom so that Ally’s not traumatic by the experience of school. Towards the end of today’s session, Jefferson suddenly cried for his mummy and a few others started to cry as well. Ally smugly held on to Mummy, as if telling everyone ‘Hah! I have my Mummy!!’.
I don’t know for how long this will go on, but I am going to be persistent! If not for the sake of her education, it’s for the sake of the amount of money that we have paid, which I doubt will get refunded in full if we pull her out of the school now. So I’ve come up with a ‘reward’ system, which I hope will work. After school today, I brought her to a stationary shop and let her choose two sticker sheets. I told her if she goes to school tomorrow and let Mummy wait outside, she’ll get more sticker sheets. She agreed, but we’ll see how it goes tomorrow.
Wish me luck. Please.
