Agree with you. Everything is quite vague thus far at least for my boy's class:

- Chinese told us to prepare 2 exercise books when he came back on Tues and yesterday night I checked his bags, the 2 books are still there.
- And unless some of the classes, teachers also don't give a list of what books they have kept in school

Thus far, I personally feel that the school/teacher-parents communication is rather weak. For instance, on the first day we were told what time to take the kids to school but was never formally informed what time is dismissal (got to ask around), then the acroynms used was not spelt out like the mass PE and music (again found out only through the forum), then the books to bring, how they will be coping for recess today now that the 3 days of catered food is over (again understand from checking around informally that P2 will buddy them) etc etc...

I wonder if there should be a better way to do things moving forward? Like a FAQ for first time P1 parents?

Yes, agree with you. Perhaps it will be good for us to suggest to the school to prepare a FAQ for next year P1 intake.

Hi all,


Yesterday DS came back with a list of books that will be kept by the teachers. In fact, some of the books which DS brought yesterday have been collected. Personally, I feel glad that the teachers will be keeping some of books as this will implied that DS’ schoolbag will not be so heavy.

Thanks!

Yes, most of the books have been collected from form teacher on Tuesday. Now only left chinese & Maths textbooks and those CME etc...
I'm sure it will lighten our kids' schoolbag a lot...

Hi all


By the way, just wanna find out how much pocket money that you dear mommies and daddies give to your kid today? I went to survey the tuckshop on the 1st day of school. Most of the food priced below $2. I was thinking to give $2 per day :lol: Is it too much? Haha!!

I gives $2/- for my DD too. What if she accidentally pour off her food. At least there's extra cash for her to buy another round.

Hi,

I also give $2 to my DD. After compare the price from the tuckshop most price of the food is between $0.70 to $2.20.

Don’t know how our DD / Ds during today recess times.


Sometimes I really like to know my DD class teachers. They don’t introduce to parents like during the Nursery or k1/k2 times. Right?

Yes, unfortunately, the school doesn't seem to practise it. I know of other schools that have done so. Some form teachers even gave out their mobile numbers.

Not that I wuold expect the teacher to give us their mobile but this self introduction isn't very much to ask for, or is it? They could have done a quick round on the first day - Just say half an hour for a quick self introduction of say at least the form teacher, if not the other teacher and vice-versa. At least put a face to the name. So now I can only go by the photo on the notice board.

For us, we gave our DS $1.50, and an extra $2 as 'emergency fund' to be activated
