Primary School

No, Ryan hasn't started primary school yet but it's not long to go. He is turning 5 in February and we are near the end of November.

We have enrolled him to Pakuranga Heights Primary School and his first day of school is 7th February. It will be the 2nd week of the first term which works out to be quite good.

We have bought his Summer uniform and here are a couple of pictures of him wearing them. He was so excited when he tried them on and we couldn't wipe the smile of his face.

He has been for a couple of school visits. The first one was last week. He was excited but got quite shy when we got there. He and some others were in a class with some new entrants for about an hour and a half. They were taught the alphabet of the day and did some colouring as well. He thought it was good fun

He had another visit this morning but this time round we let him stay till after morning tea to give him a chance to socialise more with the other kids. We noticed a difference in him as soon as we got there. He was so much more confident and wanted to join in as soon as we got to the class. At morning tea time, he was very happy as he saw some of his friends from Daycare.

His next visit is next week and then that will be it till he starts next year. Wow! My boy is really growing up. It's scary but exciting at the same time :)
