That morning, the Hanoi Adelaide School grounds buzzed with excitement as they welcomed the young guests from Fairy Preschool. With eager and slightly bewildered eyes, the children began their journey of experiencing first grade, an experience that opened the first door to an exciting elementary school environment.

In the spacious playground, the Fairy children quickly immersed themselves in fun physical activities. From flexible warm-up exercises to games challenging agility, every moment was filled with laughter. Physical education exercises helped the children improve their health, build confidence in coordination, and become familiar with the routines of elementary school learning.

In the STEAM classroom, a world of creativity unfolded before their eyes. The children explored simple experiments and observed fascinating phenomena. Surprise and delight were evident on each child’s face as they completed their projects, an experience that helped them develop an inquisitive mindset from an early age.

Finally, bright colors brought to a close this emotionally charged journey. Under the guidance of their art teacher, the children were free to paint their own world.


The day passed quickly, but the excitement and confidence that the Fairy children carried with them lingered for a long time. The “A Day as a First Grader” journey not only helped the children become familiar with the elementary school environment but also planted in each child a seed of boldness, curiosity, and readiness to embark on the learning journey ahead.
