Tampines Primary's Historical Day!

We got a letter today from Frunty's school. Currently, the students are at a temporary site while their brand new building is being completed. This Friday, the students are to report to the new site for the official opening and celebratory walk. I am so excited. We will have to wake up extra early to take a taxi. With life being so exciting over here, it is hard to get to sleep and indeed, the other night, Frunty stayed up way too late. But who could blame him? He just got his report card with favourable reviews! I am so proud of him. Here is his report card after two months in Singapore:

"Fruny speaks well and confidently. He accepts new ideas readily. He is a calm pupil who thinks before he acts. He shows respect towards teachers and peers. He is always willing to help his friends when they are in need. Frunty has shown sustained commitment that is highly commendable."

And like my school reports as a kid, Frunty got 38/38 for attendance!! His overall conduct is "very good". Of course, as a proud mom of a son who transitioned so well from the Belgium system and way of life to a completely different experience in Singapore, I think his conduct is, like his new, rocketship-decorated bedroom, out of this world!! Honestly, from the moment he sat alongside those "strangers", Frunty has attended Tampines with a glad heart. Jumping out of bed, getting his uniform on with glee, riding through the early streets to get to his school, chatting the whole way there and back about what he was going to do and what he had done, I have to stay that this Tampinesian is 100% impressive. Well done, Frunts! You are a star.
