        Let me share with I have gathered 2 years back to prepare my #1 for P1 then and also my #2 this year as he's gg to be P1 next year... Bear with me on the long list... :evil:


        1.\tMoney sense
        Recognise notes (start with $2 only) & coins using the real money after sanitising all coins & notes and how much change to expect after making payment?

        2.\tPractice buying their own stuff (and the use of a wallet/coin pouch)
        Build confidence and learning from mistakes. Start encourage the child to make his/her own order (highlight any special request like which item that he/she doesn’t want, in future after trying the food), take $ from wallet and keep the change (if any) before taking the ordered food.

          3.\tCarrying her own food

          The canteen is one of the most stressful places your child will go to and usually it will be chaotic. He/She will have to learn to queue up, wait for his/her turn, order his/her food, get the right change, keep the money well and then meander through the crowd to find a seat with his/her friends to eat the food…. All within about 20-30 mins. The child probably only have like 15mins to finish his/her food as the other 15mins is use to queue, find seat & going to toilet. Ohh ya… proper disposal of their used plates and cutleries after eating too.
          At the stalls which you frequent, you can have him/her to carry his/her own portion of food. With parents next to him/her telling the child to focus, choose his/her path carefully, hold the tray/food firmly. We also kept reminding him/her to eat quickly and talk after the meal completed.

            4.\tTelling Time

            Recognising time on digital & analog face. After teaching the child to read time, also need to teach the child to prioritize and have the sense of urgency in his/her daily routine.

            5.\tOrganizing and Packing
            While losing stationeries can be inexpensive, it can be inconvenient. Worse is she loses important forms and letters from the school. Yes, please do expect many letters informing parents of activities, payments, outings, etc. Delegate packing & checking duty to the child but do ask them if the necessary items are packed (water bottle, wallet/coin pouch, jacket, tissues, etc)
            Teach the child how to organize her stationeries, her books and files etc.

              6.\tLearn to ask for permission & practice the proper use of toilet independently

              It may seem simple to ask to go to the toilet the first time, but when the request is rejected, he/she may not have the courage to ask again or tell the teacher that he/she really needs to go. That’s why it is important to build his/her self-confidence and teach them to request courteously, or how to inform the teacher of the urgency. With time, children will learn to use the toilet before lessons, so that they don’t miss out on the learning during class.

              7.\tHygiene Habits
              The occasional toilet visits, changing for PE lessons or CCAs etc. are times where she would have to learn to clean herself, pack her clothes properly, wash her hands thoroughly etc.

                for soupy stuff, it is not boiling hot when sold in the school. however, it is still challenging for the child to carry it on the tray in a crowded canteen.
