Starting Primary 1 on a good note
04 Jan 2024
Do you remember what your child’s first day of school as a Primary 1 student was like?
By Lim Jun Kang
All smiles as the newest members of the school stepped through the gates!
The teachers could dedicate more support to helping the young ones settle in, and also work more closely with parents to start the year off on a positive note.
As students settled into their classroom, budding friendships started forming.
As the students were playing ice-breaker games and making new friends, parents were tasked to pen letters of encouragement to their child. Many parents wrote about how proud they were, and shared their hopes for their child for this primary school journey.
The school arranged for parents to write letters to encourage their child for bravely starting Primary 1.
“We want our students to feel a sense of belonging to the school right from the first day, and having their parents present gives our students comfort and confidence,” says Mrs Shrlinda Lee, Year Head (Primary 1). “It signals that school is a safe and welcoming place for them to learn and grow. This will provide a strong foundation for them to build on for the next six years of their journey in primary school.”
Before the school day ended, parent and child had fun participating in a Mass Dance together.
Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead, filled with laughter, learning and many treasured memories!
