Hi Parents,


Almost one year has gone by and I noticed that few textbooks, exercise books, character cards and dictionary were not used at all. All these costs money. I am wondering for those who is having sibilings to start P1 next year in NCPS, will you plan to get another new set or to use the balanced one and not purchasing from the book vendors?

Also for those parents with the balanced books/items, what are you going to do with them?

For my kid, his chinese flash card is totally untouched (i.e was asked by teacher to take to school) although he told me that his Chinese teacher taught them how to play games with it. But other than that, i believe all the text books are being used. There are a couple of exercise books and empty files which I intend to re-use for next year. Likewise for dictionary since i think that is 'ever-lasting'.

My 'leftover' textbooks were the Chinese picture dictionary book (w/cd rom that one), the Chinese oral textbook for P1 & P2 level which was totally untouched though requested to purchase and the Chinese character cards. As for the dictionary, I find that its not useful at all. At least in my view, at minimum that few words in their spelling lists must have the explaination in it but there were none so I need to get him a seperate dictionary. I have 4 jotter books (lined ones) and 6 exercise books left behind. Aiyo Anyway, I will just keep it till one day that he requires it.

Btw, anybody that needs to get your child's nametag re-done, you can forward your request to the uniform aunty. 6 pieces for S$4.50 and it will take 3 weeks to process

Hmm...is there a Chinese picture dictionary book? Got to check again but it sounds vaguely familiar. And oh yes, the Chinese oral textbook for P1 & P2 level. Kiddo came home with the order form and I too thought the school will use it as part of curriculum. But from the looks of it, its meant for home practice

Hi mummies,

All these books, dictionary and cards that u all mentioned that were not used, i can always get them later from the book shop should the child need it later, right? Honestly if that is the case, i thought maybe not to get them 1st.
I have registered my dd at Polaris Junior next year, now thinking if i should withdraw her from CC in Nov and start her in Polaris in Dec. At least not so many changes when she starts school in Jan. Any parents with children in Polaris?

Hi, yes. Those textbooks are easily found in bookstore like Popular. I have not seen the cards though. If you need a set in the future do let me know as I have one set extra. However no hurry.

My eldest in with PJ now. 2nd one will be in next year too (just like yours). PJ's orientation will be on Sat 13 Nov which I believe you should be receiving the letter soon. They do allow kids to start with their student care programme from Dec onwards which I will do so as mine is on kindergarten programme which will end in mid Nov

When buying the books, I asked the bkshop guy which r the optional items & didn’t buy them. So only left some lined exercise bks unused.


Btw, when is the next Chinese spelling? DS didn’t bring back the new list so i hope it’s not too soon after the hol.

Any idea what’s the full score for Chinese show & tell, 朗读 & 造句? DS’ evaluation forms suprisingly came w scores.
hahahaa…:b

The 1st Chinese spelling for T4 will be on 05 Oct. There will only be two Chinese spellings for the term. English only about 5.

I have no idea on the scores too for the S&T

Re the renovation from Nov 2010:

DS’ form teacher had told his class to go EVERYWHERE in school, in groups. I tot it’s a sound advice & hope u would remind your children too.

Hi Vevey,

Does it say what is the renovation for? Is it for the school to prep for single-session on year 2012?
