Hi all, I have managed to read up to page 30 so far but will be busy with house moving soon so don't think I can complete the reading of this thread anytime soon to look for answers to my queries. Hope you guys can provide some quick help.


1. When should we contact the school bus operator to engage their service? Last read that fee is $85, any changes?
2. Are parents allow to go into the school during recess time for the first few days of school for the P1? If recess time is at 3pm, then basically pack snacks such as sandwiches instead of bento for ds will do right? Ds is not familiar with money yet, so am worried. Please share how your kids cope during recess time when they first goes P1.
3. Any parents with kids that took up wushu as cca? Is it good? Practice sessions are on Sat am, are there school bus service available?

TIA!

Hi notabox,

My son was at P1 this year, let me share with you my experiences:

1. School bus - during orientation day there will be school bus operator waiting at the canteen and you could check with them.
Due to P1 is afternoon classes, normally bus service only provide evening service to send your kid home.

2. Parents only allow to enter to school for the 1st day, during recess time normally have senior (P5) to tag along them for one week. Parents are not allow to go to canteen with their kids.
Money issue, my son also blur blur when buying something at the early stage. He was at Care jucntion in the morning and I gave him $5 each day for lunch n recess, he can spend all and told me he only buy one bowl of mee and drink only. I guess he always give $1 to stall people and did not ask for change even though the food is not cost $1.
Be patient, slowly your kids will how to culculate money if they have chance to buy food from stall.
I preferred my son to buy food from school stall during lunch time and bring some snack (cake or biscuit) for recess. At least he learn how to buy and culculate money from P1.

3. CCA wushu - my son not joining this CCA. but I son told me that school provided this wushu on every wednesday during school hour now after June school holiday.

Hope all the above help.

It seems like someone is going around stealing things from the classroom when no one is in. My boy has his eraser missing and his classmate a pencil. Anyone in the morning session has same encounter? Today a teacher lost some presents meant for National Day celebration.

My son also face the same problem, missing his pencils, eraser and colour pencils.
He is now in P1 and still don't understand why this been happening. When back from school then realised missing here and there. Just take it easy.
