Ina started Primary last September 2012 when she turned 5. It was an easy transition from doing nothing but playing to reading,playing and meeting kids her age. And just like before, I was your typical "worrier" again. I have to admit, I had a bit of separation anxiety, again but I have to put a brave face for Ina was too excited to even notice my list of dos and don'ts.
Schools in NZ usually start early February and ends mid December. Ina officially started Year 1 this year while Amber is in Year 3. I am more relaxed now and confident that the girls have adjusted fast after the long holiday because they get to see familiar faces at Edmonton Primary School.
Things will be a little bit different this year because of the kids going to before and after school care. Thank God for this. I think this is really helpful for parents who work or in our case one works while the other goes back to school. In this situation, I am going back to school hence the inevitable school care. It is also advantageous when the school care programme is being offered in the school where they are more familiar with the place and kids they get to interact to. It is a plus factor that they get to have really nice ladies to look after them.
