Raffles Girls' Primary

[mwchua]

Thanks to all of you for your kind CCA advice


Swimming - definitely not looking at competitive swimming. Just that my girl likes swimming since she started her basic lesson in Oct 09. Would like her to continue if possible.

Choir - my girl likes humming to music, so this is one of my consideration too.

btw, for lower primary girls participating in CCA, do you all let your girls buy lunch from the canteen after the CCA ? will they do where to go after the lunch at canteen before starting their actual pm lesson ? or do you all stay throughout the CCA duration ? what kind of arrangement is more prevalent ?

btw, my girl still has not got her spelling list yet..... :?

mwchua: yup they shd take lunch after CCA. CCA will start much later after the gals are all settled. I'd think they will be familiar by then.


Spelling practice is today for my dd: garden,rose,caterpillar,home,outside, happy, birthday,red, dog,bird
Dictation: I see a rose in the garden

Prob her's starts next wk.

For P1, what are the typical days they will have their spelling and ting-xie tests ? Does it vary from class to class depending on teachers ?


Firming up my part time working arrangement and tries to take into account dd’s school schedule, CCA etc.

Thanks.

This forum is really useful. Thanks all for contributing.


When do we get to sign up for CCAs? My daughter’s a songbird, she’ll probably love choir too.

My girl had her spelling practice today too. But I do not see the spelling list meant for 7/1 and 14/1 among the whole stack of spelling lists she brings back today (earliest is 21/1). According to her, the spelling list for 7/1 and 14/1 has been handed over to teacher.

Is this the case for your girl too ? What is the usual practice ? What do the dates mean ? e.g. if the spelling list has the date 21/1, does it mean the list will be tested on 21/1 or the girl has to bring the list on 21/1 ?

Thanks !

Same problem here,anybody wonder why teachers dont write notes explaining,or are we supposed to figure it all out by ourselves?

CKS: i feel the stress for her coz my dd is still in \"kindergarten mode\". While she's happy to go to sch, she gets tired after dinner and tend to wake up at ard 10am the next day, bus arrives 11.45am. DUH! Dono how i can squeeze sometime for her hw, spelling & kumon hw.


Eng Spellg: only given for 2 sets of spelling lists with dictation below. The date stated is the date of the \"practice test\".. btw don't understand why isit call \"practice\" test. it's still a test right
