Primary 1 Orientation Day
11 CommentsI had to rush back from KL shopping trip for today. Today is Tim first orientation for primary 1. The program started at 8am ended by 11am. We gathered at the hall and anxiously waiting for what will happen next.
A teacher came on stage to give us the program briefing and next the children names were called to enter the classroom. Classes were named after the planets. How cool is that? No prize but guess what planet my son felt on?
There were 290 students for standard 1. The teacher told us that it is one of the biggest primary school in Penang island. Students were seated in the classroom but parents were Q-ing for forms submission. I totally forgot that I had to buy the report books for submission. I asked my hubby to go to the Q at the bookstore to purchase that and Tim’s school books. It was slow process.
I had to fill up forms after forms, writing my child’s name, his details, my name, my detail, my hubby’s name and his details more than 10 times. This is like a punishment for me, sort off. After sorting out the forms, I took my son to the PE teacher to measure his size for PE shirt and trousers.
Next, the children were instructed to line up to follow the class teacher. Tim’s class teacher is a very pleasant lady which has been teaching for 13 years. I had a casual chat with her. A very nice lady indeed. Ooh, I am so glad to see a few Chinese students in the same class with Tim too, along with a few Indians and lots of Malay students.
The children were given loan textbooks and most of them were brand new. They even give out new activity books. I was surprised the books I had to buy for him were a few. As compare to my time, I remembered I had to buy lots of books.
One thing I like about this school is that they provide language learning as one of the subject. For Chinese, the student needs to take Chinese. For Malay, they take Arab language. For Indian, they take Tamil. An extra class will be conducted for additional Chinese or Tamil. I will certainly sign Tim up for the additional class.
The day ended with school rules briefing. The afternoon lead teacher was very kind and he approached us for a chat too. I really had a pleasant experience for the first day of school. Now it makes me want to become a student there.
As for Timothy, he was excited to go to his new school. Why? 2 things, one is the karipap and second is the football field. Let’s hope he will enjoyed school next year.

That was a great experience. My 1st year for No1 was totally scary I would say for both my son and me as we were so blur and couldn’t understand the announcements. And No, I don’t remember any friendly teachers!!!! Hopefully, for No2 , will be a more pleasant experience.

Glad to hear that he likes his school. You know? I can’t remember when’s the first time I read your blog, but then, with Tim’s going to primary now, I feel as if I’ve been reading for a long long time. -
