I hope
Pei Hwa does NOT introduce CA2, bcos it's stressful enough having to plan CA1, SA1 and SA2.
As children move up, SA2 revision will have to start earlier bcos of the depth. -

Hi php, thanks for the information. Have read about the buddy system somewhere in this thread but have forgotten about it. At least there is a senior to guide ds for a week, can worry less.Dd in P1 this year and this is likely what will happen on the first day.
When the kid reaches school, the buddy will assist your kid and he/she would bring the kid to the school hall. The buddy will even help in carrying the bag for the kid, so don't worry....Each kid will be assign a buddy - P5 student, for a week. Parents are only allow to enter the school on the first day only. You are not allow to enter the canteen area during the recess time but you can watch them from a distance. The buddies will be with them and assist them. Kids learn fast, so don't worry, your ds will be able to cope with money very soon... but it is better not to give the kid too much money, just enough for the day will do.....Basically, the kid will be on their own from 2nd day onward.....

1. When should we contact the school bus operator to engage their service? Last read that fee is $85, any changes?
Where do you reside? I am in Bt Batok and my bus fare for 2 ways is around $65. I think you should contact them after orientation.
We will be moving to toh tuck. So bus fare differs according to distance from home to school? And there are different operators?
2. Are parents allow to go into the school during recess time for the first few days of school for the P1? If recess time is at 3pm, then basically pack snacks such as sandwiches instead of bento for ds will do right? Ds is not familiar with money yet, so am worried. Please share how your kids cope during recess time when they first goes P1.
Mine was with another school during P1. I guess its about the same. Parents only allow the first day, but cannot help in buying food. Each class has their destinated table and seats. I let her bring lunchboxes on alternative days. Packed sandwiches, bentos, cookies varieties of stuff which she likes. As for money, I gave her $1 a day and she started learning from there, not much issue.
At times she was really confusing, she just gave the $1 to the vendor for him/her to give back the change.
Thanks for sharing!
3. Any parents with kids that took up wushu as cca? Is it good? Practice sessions are on Sat am, are there school bus service available?
Mine is not in wushu, but what I know sat not school bus service for this year.
Oh no...ds wants to learn wushu ever since he watched Ip Man :roll: and just nice PH offer it as cca. If no school bus service on Sat then may have to rethink... -
Parents with children in P3, would you pls post the dates for the programme? I lost the letter :oops: Many thanks in advance.

Hi notabox,
My son was at P1 this year, let me share with you my experiences:
1. School bus - during orientation day there will be school bus operator waiting at the canteen and you could check with them.
Due to P1 is afternoon classes, normally bus service only provide evening service to send your kid home.
:? School bus service only 1 way?
2. Parents only allow to enter to school for the 1st day, during recess time normally have senior (P5) to tag along them for one week. Parents are not allow to go to canteen with their kids.
Money issue, my son also blur blur when buying something at the early stage. He was at Care jucntion in the morning and I gave him $5 each day for lunch n recess, he can spend all and told me he only buy one bowl of mee and drink only. I guess he always give $1 to stall people and did not ask for change even though the food is not cost $1.
Be patient, slowly your kids will how to culculate money if they have chance to buy food from stall.
I preferred my son to buy food from school stall during lunch time and bring some snack (cake or biscuit) for recess. At least he learn how to buy and culculate money from P1.
This is good advice, small investment ($ that ds may not get back after buying food) to give ds opportunities to learn how to calculate $.
3. CCA wushu - my son not joining this CCA. but I son told me that school provided this wushu on every wednesday during school hour now after June school holiday.
Oh, I read from PH's website that practice is on Sat.. :?
Hope all the above help.
Thanks for sharing, el17! -

Beside a senior buddy assigns to the kid, your ds will also have a buddy assign by the FT. They will help each other throughout their P1....Nowadays, kids mix around easily. As for my dd, besides her classmates, she also makes friends from other classes introduce by her classmates, some are from her enrichment classes, some are neighbourhood friends, etc......

This is a relief to hear!Hi notabox,
I'm a SAHM...I am not really teaching my son, just guiding him. I'm very grateful that Pei Hwa teachers are dedicated, so I don't have to teach much.

Ds1 & ds2 used to attend Jan & Elly too but progress not seen so we switched back to Zoophonics. They love their lesson though.My son attends Jan & Elly...his ex-classmate sends his kids there, also outsource children's academic teaching to tutors.
