Is it a practice that all form teachers will send emails to parents to update on the happenings or impt things to note?

it all depends on individual teacher.....

When my elder DS was in P1 last year, the form teacher would email us on every Fri, even on the first week of school, whereas my younger DS in P1 this year, I've already received 3 daily emails and photos from the form teacher.

So it's really depend on the teacher style.

So far, there is no update from P1H teacher yet.

We stay pretty far from MSHS (Yishun) so we are resigned that our son will be first to get picked up and last to get sent home. Regarding food, we pack some food for him in a lunch box and he eats it during the ride home when hungry.


So far he hasn't really given much feedback about his first day. Maybe us parents of 1D boys can share what information we know.

btw, my son is Nathan Wong (1D)

hey knyghtryder, did the bus uncle allow your son to eat on the bus? My son told me they are not allowed to eat on the bus having some issues with him finishing his water too as they need to ask permission to drink water in class

thanks in advance!

I received a long email from form teacher of 1G yeasterday. Was shocked at the amount of things we need to prepare for the lessons....from the additional stationery to labelling every Math worksheet. Was up until past midnight to prep these

My boy is in 1F. We don’t have to label the Maths worksheets just the coverpage of the book. Do you have any idea if the teachers have started teaching from the English and Math textbooks? My DS said that he only used the Chinese textbook so far…

Hi all,


Apologies if this topic had been touched on before… I am trying to find out if any one recommends TLC student care, which is opposite Maris Stella. Is there a wait list for this student care?

Hihi!
My DS is also in 1G. I'm also appalled by the amount of things that we need to prep! I also find the FT emails authoritative and intimidating. Don't quite like some of her comments in her emails and how she refer the children by index number

Same feeling here. The homework seems geared towards the parents not the kids. She thinks that we parents just sit at home to do her stuff, the timeline for those things she wanted to complete is so tight! And she make it seem that your kid will be embarrassed if it was incomplete.

Thank God! I’m not alone!

Btw I will PM you. I think we need to get connected and support each other.

mytinyfeet, taurus75 & bigbertha -


I was discussing this at home and was wondering if we were too sensitive in judging the FT (P1G) given that the year just started.

Keeping parents posted and over (as oppose to under) communicating is perfectly fine by me.
