Hi Gie2,


The basket is used by the older boys to store some of their items under their desks in school. U can purchase from Daiso or some other places.

Please check with your son’s form teacher whether he/she allows it. Some do not condone it because the younger boys tend to leave their homework and other stuff in school, when actually they’re supposed to bring them home to give parents/complete those worksheets at home etc.

If u do use the basket, please bear in mind not to leave any valuables in it. And label everything of course.

Will PM u the link for 1.5 Whatsapp group.

The plastic tray or basket not necessary for older kids. Both my DSs can use plastic tray since P1 to P4. DS1 used it from P1 to P4. P5 and P6 cannot use as mentioned by the teachers.


So best check with the teacher.

Thanks everyone for the answers… now i know! it is a good idea to have it placed in the basket instead of the floor directly. will check with the teachers then.


Cheers!

The letter was the opt-in / opt-out consent form for the Thoburn programme. Thanks for the info!

Good evening all,


So tomorrow we are told there was a temperature taking exercise but perhaps my DS did not pay attention in class on what is really going to happen tomorrow.
Can someone enlighten me on what really happens during this exercise and does the kid need to bring their own thermometer to school?

Thank you very much.

Regards…

P1s will be given new thermometers, don’t worry.

The boys will be shown and taught how to put the thermometer under their tongue & hols it there until it beeps. Then write down the temperature for the teacher to see. That’s pretty much it.

Subsequent years, just bring the same thermometer on the relevant day. Actually most boys just leave it in the front pocket of their school bag the entire year.

Us parents just check it every one or two years to make sure the battery still works. If not working anymore, either replace the battery (a bit troublesome), or simply buy a new thermometer from Guardian/Watson’s/Popular. Every year in Dec before school reopens always got back-to-school discount lol. Few dollars nia, cheaper than a happy meal.
