With hardly a teary face to see, it was mostly smiles for the Grade Ones at Curro Nelspruit Primary School on Wednesday morning, January 11.
Layla Jansen said she had already made a few friends and was very excited for her first day of big school.
Another Grade One, Emma Phelan, said she was happy she would be making new friends and was looking forward to learning how to read and write this year.
