Kingsley: Preschool in Greece
April 2017
Now that Kingsley’s Greek and English are coming along excellently Erroll and I agreed to enrol him in preschool…in Greece! Just for the few weeks we are in Saronītha this Spring and just to test his resilience among a classroom of little people all cueing to get the teacher’s attention.
By 7:55am JiaJia Dora, Kingsley and I were downstairs on the pavement and walking toward the little yellow school bus. Mr Mixăli the driver and pretty Miss Xristīna the teacher attendant welcomed Kingsley in the bus, strapped him in and with me at the front of the bus we all waved at JiaJia who promised to cook hot oven wedges for an after school treat.
Here is Kingsley’s preschool-in-Greece diary…
Day 1 Wednesday 5th April
JiaJia Dora dropping Kingsley off for the school run
Battling it out for the other kid’s book
In the playground with another class (ditched his own Miss Joanna’s class)
Day 1 after school: passed out for a two hour afternoon nap
Final day at preschool being sent home with a bag full of gifts from his teachers and fellow students
The morning of Kingsley’s final day at school
Little mate made on the school run
Keen as mustard to get on the school bus
Easter at school
Excited to go to school
Always excited to attend school
Not even a kiss to Mumma before throwing himself on the bus
Mumma joins Mr. Mixali for a school run
Home time at 3:30
Spotting JiaJia Dora
With his Minions school back pack
Running onto the sxoliko
Mr. Cool waiting for Mr. Mixali and his sxoliko
