First Day School Experience @ BGS NPS

      Today is the reopening day for B.G.S National Public School and First day for Rismi. She is just 3.1 and she was pretty excited and curious to go to bigger school.  I was glad that we'd visited the school beforehand, so Rismi had a taste of what was behind those big doors.


I am ready to face the World !!!

                   I was really apprehensive on Rismi's first day at BGS - NPS, even though she had been attending a play school for a year of her three years. She got ready with her school uniform. She just seemed so tiny and cute in her little grey skirt and school Jumper/Blazer. 
 

Got ready in School Uniform



Blazer too as a uniform

            For the first three days, the School Management allowed the parents in the school bus and one day in the class room to accompany the kid till the new environment gets familiarized for the child . We reached the school at 9.10 am and the classes started  by 9.20 am. Even though Rismi had mixed really well with the other children in her Play group, being faced with 100 new school friends, all of who seemed to dwarf her, was quite scary, even for me. 


Standing in front of  class room

           I felt better the first time I saw the classroom - it was a real joy, full of colour, artwork  and large tables with small chairs. While the other kids have a fear of separation from their mom, Rismi is very cool. She is so eager to be at school. She is so excited to attend the class while other kids who are older than her are crying.

Playing with the Toy in the class

            The class room is crowded and noisy as the parent also with the kid, moreover many kids are crying. Rismi let go of my hand straight away and shot to the corner of the room, really excited by it all. I stayed for perhaps 30 minutes that first day. I felt happier by the minute and I think Rismi had forgotten that may be I was not staying too. When I started edging towards the door, she did look a bit distressed and insisted on a cuddle, but when a classroom assistant led her away, she seemed OK .

Returned from the class and standing in front her bus

Happily sitting in the School BUS

              We waited for her to return and when she returned , she was so happy and smiling and tired too.. I was really proud of her. She did not trouble me much to get ready and to mingle with the other kids and with her class teachers. We happily back to home in the school Bus. 

Wednesday and Friday - White & White



Waiting for the school bus to board

    Now she is in PP-I 'C' Section [Pre-Primary-I] and she has two class teachers, their names are Padma and Tasneem.  Her class teacher told me that, She is well behaved in the class room and mingling nicely with other kids. And Rismi is also enjoying and loves to go to school .

      I am so happy that she liked the school and  enjoyed the first day at school. And hoping for the same in coming days !!!    

Summer Vacation Moments - 2011

          Rismi's Summer vacation started from April 1st . Her last day in Heritage Academy was 31st March 2011 and she distributed chocolates to her classmates and happily said Bye Bye to her friends [Parting is such  "Sweet Sorrow", We know & We all would have experienced !!!]. 


Ya, Vacation Started .. Jolly !!!

              Summer vacation is really a fun time for the kids as they'll  nearly get 2 months, which is free of school, Books, Home works, Early morning Alarms, Exams, Wake-up disturbances etc etc... and more over they visit to their relatives home, Meet their native friends , Getting many presents and all over the day Playing, Playing & Playing nothing else.... [ Its just reminding my childhood days :) ]. But fortunately/unfortunately , as we both are working, Rismi could not spend her summer vacation fully at her Granny's house. 

Azhaga Sirikkirenaa ???

               We had a plan for just 5 days  to Kumbakonam. The Mysore express was scheduled to depart from Majestic at 7.15 P.M  on 6th May. As Rismi is grown-up now, she did not trouble us much  like before . She had her dinner and expecting Kumbakonam in every Station and there's no symptoms of sleeping in her eyes. So we have told her, "You sleep now, When you wake-up, we will be in Kumbakonam" . She got convinced somehow and slept finally.

Naanum Sammema Maamiyum

         Rismi woke up to the sound of the Tea-walas at 4'O clock , in trichy station itself. She asked , " Kumbakonam vanthuduchaa??? Shall we get down-nttu :) " . Her expectation finally come to an end, Ya ! We reached Kumbakonam at 6.30 AM.  She is so happy and jumping here and there in the station. We were there in Kumbakonam for 5 days, but not even a single day, we spent fully at home, Its full of travel to here and there.


Rendu Perum Enna Nasukkuraanga.. Naan Maattikitten

           Rismi's favourite pet is Goat. She ties the goat in the front gate and feeds it with biscuits, chips, Guava Leaves and drumstick leaves . Everyday new, new goat .. She does not leave any goat which crosses our Gate :).  [Thank God !! The Goat owner did not say anything ;) ] . Whole day she plays with the Goat only when she is at Granny's House.


Saapidu , Saapidu !!!



Lays saapiduriyaa chellam ??



Yennoda Cutieee ithu :)

            We had been to my Mom's house for lunch which is in Aduthurai. Rismi's one of the favorite place. She can get anything and everything there . She loves to be in my Mom's home. My mom prepared Chicken Biryani and Kesari for Rismi . And she got many presents from her Mummymma. We had our lunch and went to meet my dad in his shop . There Rismi had 2 Cornetto Ice-cream nicely. I don't give Ice-cream to her usually. But due to Thathaa's Support, she had ice creams, chocolates and moreover she packed a lots of chocolates to Bangalore too.. Romba Chellam !!! She had a very nice time in Aduthurai.

Rismi resembles my mom at times

             While returning back to Kumbakonam, we went to my Chinnamma's Home for a while. Rismi played nicely and spent good time with her maamas  .. She has many chottu chottu Maamas there  :) .    


Whom do I listen if all speak at a same time ???

            Five days flew like an arrow. Finally we were all ready to back to Bangalore. We left home by 6'O clock in the evening and the train was scheduled to depart from Kumbakonam station at 6.25 P.M  on 11th May. We got  in to a train and as Rismi waved her hand slowly and said bye bye to her Grandparents , the train started to move.  [ I have noticed the bit of sadness in her eyes .. But no choice :( ]

Bangalore-ku Kelambanumaa ???  :(



I don't leave this home.. I wont come :(

             After having dinner , Rismi slept well in the train and the train arrived the Majestic Station early morning 5.30. As the luggage was more and heavy, Shafi booked a call Taxi when we left kumbakonam itself. We reached home at around 6.30 am and relaxed a bit . As it was a working day [Thursday] , me and Shafi got ready to office. Rismi was quite dull :( . Yeah,, of course, Homesick will be there for one or two days and we both are going to office leaving her at home . But can't help it . ALL is WELL !!!
