Hi


May I get some feedback from the current RPGS student mummies which preschools did you put your DDs to before they go into the school which help to prepare your girls for P1 ? I am planning to put my girl in zoo- phonics , not sure if its a wellrounded preschool , anyone can provide some feedback ?

Thanks a Mil !

Hi LeeTaiTai, regarding school's temporary location, KSP has posted a link earlier, which is the only official info we got so far from the school ...

Pre-school wise, my girl attended Kinderland. We also sent her to \"I can read\" when she was in K2 to ensure she can read before she starts P1.

hi luanee , thanks a lot for the feedback, we wanted to get a place near the school , now I worry if moe will allocate a premises that is too far off, guess we can only wait 

thanks for your preschool feedback , I am struggling on the preschool as there are just so many choices in the market , so knowing how to read is the most basic requirement before hitting P1 ? Every preschool I ask will claim they will prepare kids for P1 , same for zoophonics . But being a phonics -focus school , I was afraid they will de-empasize other subjects and they are very classroom driven ie barely any outdoor activities which they agree except for some occasional trips . Guess no school can provide perfect curriculum , I am just over-worried I make the wrong choice !

hi all,


My P1 girl will be starting her swimming lesson next week for an 8-weeks' duration with the school.

For those of you who had gone through the experience, can you help to share on the following:

1. Does your girl change into their swimming costume only before the swimming lesson?

2. Understand that they have to wear PE attire over the swimming costume, so does most of you buy those 2-piece swimming costume instead of the typical 1-piece type?

3. After their swimming lesson, they just have to wear the PE attire, no need to wear the pinafore over the PE attire again right?

4. Personally I find it quite a hassle loh...why don't just let the girl wear PE attire to school, change into swimming costume before the lesson but no need to wear PE attire over it while on the bus to pool? I don't think a lot will be wearing those bikini type right? and some more they are just kids??

5. They will just leave their school bag & school shoe at the school & bring swimming bag & wear slipper to the pool?

Any other experience to share will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Rgds,
Ming

1. Depends on which slot is ur girl's swimming lesson. If first slot then she will wear the swimming costume inside, with the PE attire outside to school. If second slot then she will change later.

2. No, mine is a one-piece suit.

3. Right, no need pinafore.

4. Haha.. guess the school doesnt want students to be clad in swimming suits all over the place?

5. Yap, plus their snacks and water bottles too.

Guess I am super kan-cheong...went to buy 2-piece suit over the weekend liao....

Mine is at 3.30-5.20pm. Don't know if i let her wear PE attire over the 2-piece suit will be it be hot....shall monitor first.

I volunteer myself to help out during the swimming class so see how it goes 1st

I bought the 2 piece too. The reason is easier for my dd when she goes toilet.
