School Uniform

jesschan:

My son needs to wear the formal school attire everyday - even when there is PE lesson which is thrice a week. So they have to change in and out of their PE attire before and after each 30min PE lesson. Except for the P1 children, everyone must wear the formal school attire at all times in school, other than during PE lessons and sports-related CCA. Just wondering - is this a common school rule? I find it quite ridiculous because most children will simply wear the PE attire under the formal attire for convenience sake and it is so hot to do so in our Singapore weather.

This sounds like our school day.....PE attire is only allowed in PE lesson. Kinda of trouble to change to & fro.

For DDs' school, from P2 onwards they hafta wear their

pinafores over their PE attire which i do like cos the girls
these days mature quite fast and their body changes are
quite significant. Hence the teachers insist that by 2nd
year in pri school they should cover up those thighs after PE. :lol:

Both my girls are tomboys and they tend to sit anyhow. :oops:

Not all the time crossed legged... :roll:

So, in may case this works fine with me.

OIC, never thought of this reason as I do not have daughters... but the girls's uniform in his school is the one-piece type with collar and sleeve, so it can be quite hot unless they change out of their PE attire.

And, just thinking aloud, isn't it worse to anyhow sit wearing pinafores than wearing PE shorts?

The PE shorts are the airy kind. :lol:


So, pinafore over the shorts... not too bad.
Can at least cover until the knee..

Just 4 weeks, and my DS's Bata school shoe is already wearing out; probably from friction when he sits on the floor.

I prefer Power shoes, much lighter and more durable.

No leh. I bought the lighter Power shoes for ds before and it lasted just 6 months before the sole was completely worn out. Ds tends to drag his feet and he played soccer with those shoes during recess. Didn't last long before the shoes were koyak. I find the chunky, heavier Bata school shoes more durable. Was able to last more than a year.

Hi JessChan,



I remember wearing shorts under my pinafore in an all girls's school because there wasn't any worry of others seeing undies...some of the girls do sit rather unsightly because of that shorts.
The school discipline mistress always scolded us during assembly that we should sit cross-legged even if we are wearing shorts, and not 'open coffee shop' (still remember those words).

Ha ha, sounds familiar... I often asked my son whether he kicked soccer ball or rock? I think even if I give him metal shoes, he will still destroy it....
