Hi mummies,


I checked with the PE teacher and he said that it depends on what modular lesson it’ll be. Like if it’s lessons in classroom, then school uniform. If it’s those exercise kind, it’ll be PE attire. The ME schedule given out recently would detail what lesson there are.

I guess can just wear PE by default just in case if you aren’t sure?

That s the difficult part for the modular curriculum timetable. There is a classroom based activity /wushu for the same dates. I supposed the class will be split to attend either one but it never says my gal belongs to which group. So i supposed safest measure is to wear pe attire?

For spelling, my gal also told me that spelling is next week, but she copied dates on top of all the spelling list and list one was dated 21 jan. Will ask her to clarify with teacher.
May i ask for citizenship and character education,is it the same 好公民好品德？bookstore sells both chinese and english version. So chinese students buy chinese one?

Hi freelie, your gal also from compassion,right?i think there is english handwriting home work, from A to D. Dunno when to hand up. Date indicated in my gal s helpmate.

[Freellie]

Hi Mutree, yes my gal is in Compassion. Thanks for the info for EL’s homework.

If your gal is taking Chinese as MT, then she should by the Chinese version for Character and Citizenship.

Hi,Obisana


I am DD daddy, my girl is in P1 Zeal too. Btw, dear parents, I have notice for children taking the school bus home. Some children is not sitting down with their seat belt buckle up and can see some children walking around in the bus when is moving. Some bus operator do not have assistance and the bus driver did not make sure the children have their seat belt buckle up.

Please advise your DD to seat and not move around when the bus is moving, This is very dangerous. Hope the school principal and teacher do highlights to our DD on this issue.

Sharing a tip with parents. You can colour code the timetable. Photocopy the timetable of your dd. Use colour pencils to colour in the boxes. I use the following colours:


Spelling - Dark blue

English - Light blue

Math - Red

Mother Tongue Chinese - Purple

Music - Pink

PE/HE -Yellow

FTGP (Form Teacher Guidance Time) - Orange

Modular Curriculum - Grey

Social Studies - Brown

Values Education - Golden

CME (Civics & Moral Education) - White (basically no need to colour in white)

Recess - Beige

Art & Craft - Green

Do note that the colour of subject files are red file for math, blue file for English, purple file for Chinese, green for art bag, pink file for music and CME file is white.

That is how I colour code the timetable for easier reference in case of days when the child is required to bring subject files for lesson if necessary. It will help the child to be more organized and take responsibility for packing her own bag.

Explain to the child what the colour code means and if you like, photocopy another timetable from the original, let the child add in the colour using colour pencils by referring to the coloured timetable that was done earlier. It will be an interesting activity.

Other parents with children from other schools reading this post may like to consider this idea of mine.
