Zahin's Big Day

Last tuesday was another very important day in our life as parents. It was Our eldest daughter's first day for reception year (pre-school) in Maryland Primary School! Wee! We were very excited but so nervous at the same time! :D

But it turned out Alhamdulillah, we had no problem at all in preparing her that day. She was ready since the week before i think as she kept asking us when she can go to her 'big school' like everyday. It's good though as she could be physically, mentally and emotionally prepared/ready when the big day arrives rite!;)

At school reception ;)

Aww, She's so cute wearing her new school uniform. Hehe. I cant believe my eyes..our baby is a big girl now! She's not even 5 years old yet though but she will soon! Sob2. Also i felt honoured to usher her that day. It was a very touching moment indeed. How I wish hubby and my younger kids could come along too but hubby decided to stay home as we didnt want to bother the lil girl who were still deep in slumber. (being an owl the night before aihh)

So that day, off both of us walked to school which was just a throw of stone from home. It Took 5-10mins walking for me (add 5 more mins if we use the main entrance). At 8.32a.m We entered the reception to give some of documents before we were called in to see the school vice-head teacher for ice-breaking. It was only 15mins meeting before the vice head teacher herself ushered us both to zahin's class which was Class One. Then we were quickly greeted by the class teacher and the teacher assistant. Then she quickly hung her rain coat once she saw her name on one of the peg on the wall. (she will be addressed as Izzahin, name that we preferred most ;)) and at that time, zahin was the second pupil who had arrived.;)

In the beginning, she was still quiet and reserve to talk with the new faces. So she played playdoh and lego alone, didnt care the others at all. The other kids ada yg dah play together tp zahin?? Hmm Sabo je lah..So ummi layanlah dia sekejap. Towards 9a.m, many more had arrived. I slowtalked with her that its time for me to go. I said that her baby brother needed to be nursed and she just nodded understand. Then i brought her over to one girl, to knowing each other and they shook hands. At least, knl kn dia dulu pd sorg la kn ;)

Then i spoke shortly to her teacher and promised to bring her inhaler as she got athma and her physical education or P.E kit next time before leaving. At the door, i called zahin and we both bid our goodbye. Fuuh lega tengok dia senyum. So kalini tiada drama air mata macam masa hantar dia first time kt nursery hehe (no crying, nothing). :)

Zahin: 'school Zahin best, Mi!!' (that's the first sentence out from her mouth) :)

The school session starts at 8.55a.m and finishes at 3.15p.m. So that afternoon, all of us managed to fetched her at school. ;) All parents must be waiting outside the class until the teacher opens the door then the teacher will call the pupils name one by one before handing them to us, the parents. Last friday,  the last day school of the week, the teacher has already recognized us. Tengok je muka me or hubby, cepat je dia panggil Zahin berbanding hari2 sebelum tuh.:)

BTW Apart from buying her school uniform ( 2 plain white tshirts, a royal blue jumper, cardigan and winter jacket at school = almost £50) and whole attires (grey tights, skirt, trouser, white socks and black shoes, pimsole at Asda/tesco) we didnt pay for else such fee, text books, bag or even stationeries. Memang pegi school sehelai sepinggang budak ni. Huhu i'm so jelous! Even masa ummi sekolah darjah 1 dulu pon kene bawak beg berat taw!:P For lunch, the school also provided them the free lunch pax and it is Halal. Haaa. Satu penny ponnn tak yah bawak. Hehe. Tapi katanya tahun depan belum tentu free lagi.. Klu gitu nti, bawak bekal je la..;)

Overall, so far we've got positive feedbacks. The teacher told us that she's doing fine. What a relief to hear that. :D Alhamdulillah again!:)

Along rindu angah :D

P.S: So many delayed stories esp. Zahin's graduation at nursery and her special book. :( Will try my best to update abt it too later. sobs.
