31.1.15 (Sat)
It was already the last day of the month! Time flies!
Finally, Abby started going to school after a long break from Kindy in Malaysia. She went to Prep at Macgregor State School (one of the top 3 state schools in Brisbane) on 27th Jan 2015. In Brisbane, you go to the school that is under your location catchment. We are lucky that we fell under the Macgregor State School catchment!
So, during school days, I have to wake up by 7am and get ready her breakfast and lunch box. By 8.10am, all 3 of us (Abby, Ian and me) will start walking to the school, about 15mns walk. (Hubby goes to work with the car) Thanked God that the weather was good except for Wed (28/1) that it was drizzling. With no choice, Abby has to take the small umbrella while Ian and I shared the big umbrella.
The class door will be open at 8.45am and all the students need to place their water bottle in a basket prepared outside the class and is allowed to bring in one snack for break. There are 25 students in Abby's class and she is in the Diamond group. She is in Prep G and G stands for Guppy. The teacher is very thoughtful to prepare a small aquarium with some guppy fishes inside. And there is also a reward system where the student gets a guppy sticker when he/she does something good, 10 guppies = 1 reward. So, for the first 4 days of school, Abby collected 9 guppies and one more to go to claim her reward.

Everyday after school, she has so much to share with me on whats happening in class. We knew that the Australia education system is different from Malaysia. They hardly have any homeworks to do. The classroom setting is like a mini playhouse - with book corners, kitchen set, computers etc. No wonder Abby said she loves going to school!
