first PE & Swimming lessons

Ready to go to school (7:10am)

Received a letter from school that reception class will have it's PE day starting october 1st and swimming lesson on the 3rd. there are four colors (red, blue, green and yellow) in a class for all levels this will serve as the school's four teams for activities involving all students. viv's house color is (crocodile) green. on swimming lesson, kids should be wearing appropriate attire but not bikini, footwear - jellyshoes, crocs or flip flops. the programme aims to develop confidence in water and focus also in developing independence in dressing and undressing. i was a bit worried (here we go again) telling my husband that i need to be there, it will take a while for her to be comfortable in water. also what about her things, can she take care of that? so the only thing i can do is teach her, a night before we practiced, i told her the importance of taking care of her things and herself. i watched and let her undress and put back her uniform and put all the stuff properly in the bag.

"PE day was fun, mom!" viv said. she enjoyed the game "simon says". swimming day of course was as fun as PE, when she got home she laid down on the bed pretending in a pool and showed us what she learned and said, "i like our teacher , with a yellow long hair and a clip, she is beautiful =) her name is ms. van!"
after school (1:15pm)
