Just wondering why there is PE so many days in a week? How long is each PE session.

When does swimming start ?

My daughter loves any physical activity rather than sit down all the time . She has so much energy.So I think would suit her fine .

my girl end up not wearing her pinafore except the very first day of p1 as her only non pe day falls on her cca day which requires her to wear pe attire. May consider buying a bigger pinafore so that she can wear for p2 as well.


May i ask a question? I did not go thru primary sch in singapore.i remember my teachers used to make me memorize time table. My girl’s Teacher is teaching multiplication and division now for p1 without teaching her the timetable. When will they be asked to memorize the timetable? Or there is no need for that?
Thks!

Hi mutree,

Do you mean that your girl only wear pinafore once and thereafter pe attire? What is the difference between pe and cca? Is cca optional?

[mutree]

PE is normal PE lesson which happens 4 days out of the 5 days

CCA = ECA. It is optional.

Hi mutree. As modular curriculum falls on Wednesday, it is advisable to refer to Modular Curriculum timetable to take note of the activities that your dd is participating in. If there is no outdoor modular curriculum, usually I will let my dd wear pinafore on Wednesday. If there is outdoor modular curriculum, I will let my dd put on her PE attire on Wednesday. Every term, there will be certain Wednesdays that there are no Modular Curriculum lessons so you can let your dd wear pinafore on those Wednesdays. You have to refer back to Modular Curriculum timetable.

As for the pinafore, I only had the sides of the pinafore altered to make it less wide. The length was not altered as I expect a growth spurt for my dd. The original length was below her knees when the pinafore was purchased last year. Currently, the pinafore is above her knees.

Hi

I think if your daughter understands what multiplication and division means and is able to apply what she has learnt, there is no harm learning the timetables if she is willing and has a good memory.
In fact knowing the timetables well will help her later on .

My daughter’s tutor has taught her multiplication and she is able to learn the timetables as she has a good memory

Hi I’m new here. I’m interested to register my girl in mcs next year for 2016 intake. But my hb is concern about the distance as she will need to travel (school bus) from yishun/sembawang area. Any parents in this area? How are your girl(s) coping with the distance?

I called the school last week to ask if we can park at the school, the admin staff said they will open up more lots in the school for parking, but subject to availability.
