Faith's 1st school excursion
Today the household rise and shine early. Because Faith had to reach school earlier than usual.
It is her first school excursion today!
I was excited as well, and happy that i started my day earlier too.
Although I did not really approve of the venue at first, but for the sake of letting her gain exposure and have a feel of going outing with her friends and teachers, we consented to the trip at SGD20, including a Happy Meal and souveneirs. Yup, you guessed it - McDonalds.
It was a kitchen trip to King Albert's Park mcDonalds.
Sounds interesting! But... I cannot fathom how will they show such young kids their kitchen. Like... how can they see what is happening? Will they understand how many minutes you took to prepare the burger?
Isnt it better to just show them the Mcdonalds mascot and play games with them? Haha...
Anyway i also wanted to test if Faith can feedback or reflect anything back to us from this trip tonight. This would give us an idea if she should attend more such outings with the school.
We forgot to put her milk bottle in her bag today. Thus i walked to Thinkerstar to drop off her milk bottle before heading to work. The children have left for the excursion. There was only one teacher who was left (china teacher whom i believe teaches chinese language) wth the other children who did not go for the excursion. They were left roaming their classroom, playing with toys while the younger batch was seated on the floor watching TV.
That was another big factor why we should send her for such excursion if there was no proper teaching on that particular day.
Was a bit offended last night when MIL commented that we should not send her for such excursions when she is so young because she would get a chance to go again next time when she is older.
Yes, i understood her intention as it was mine initially. And I couldnt help but find that she might be commenting about it because the school was bringing them to McDonalds.
"She is my daughter, if i allow her to go, who are you to tell me no?" was what immediately surfaced in my heart. But i merely explained to her that there would be no one in school and I would like her to tag along with her favourite teachers and learn along with her friends.
I had spoken to Teacher Ang few days back and was relieved she was going to the trip as well. While Faith was adjusting to childcare, Teacher Ang spent most time with her and Teacher Ang is responsible to call and update me with Faith's progress in school and with the questions that i post in Faith's daily communication book as well. I like Teacher Ang.
I shall let my MIL know what i saw in school this morning.
Anyway, I did tell Julian about it, so that he will know how to react in case MIL mentions to him about it.
Hope my Faith is napping well now.
Wonder if she did behave on the bus just now. (Since she has seldom been taking bus)
Wondering if she enjoyed the happy meal just now. What did she had?
Nice to know there are corns and apples for her. She likes both. (just like me!)
Hope she did not spit out the beef if she gets a cheeseburger.
She isnt burger trained yet, teachers. Im sorry! LOL.
The principal, Doris told me that there would be photographs taken for today's trip. I hope to see them soon once she updates me with the website. =)
Update again soon!
Happy mid-week peeps!!
Muacks!
Love, me
