[quote=\"Funx3\"]markfch, david1234,


Looks like both of U will b attending the P1 Orientation on 19 Nov.
Welcome!

If U don't mind, Can U Update me on what Pei Hwa's principle's latest HOT Sale CCA item for next year's new batch students ....

Normally will be presented during the Orientation, on Her Highly Recommended list .....

I actually took leave on the 19 /Nov to come for the Orientation
but my son kindergarten is having their Graduation Camp on 18-19 Nov
so I am not sure if my son is able to go for orientation, or should I come alone without my son

Please advise if orientation is impt to attend?

thanks

For my dd, she did not get to meet the FT during orientation. I am not sure whether it's just her class. She met her on the first day of school.

In PH, they do not practise letting the kids do any tests or SRT. It's just touring the school and familiarising with the school environment. Parents will be listening to talks at the Hall.

The orientation should be in the afternoon, if my memory didn't fail me, it will start at 1pm. You might wish to take your son out from his camp early.

Mine attended two years ago, so there could be changes since then. Maybe the P1 parents can share.[/quote]Last year, it started at 11.30am....

anyone can advise if there is student care in PH?

Is it good?

i m in dilemma where to put my DS when he go PI next yr.
His current child care centre does not have b4 school care

yes, is called Care Junction.
good or bad ? i m not too sure.

there is limited places and is quite difficult to get one...if you really in need, call them fast. Tel No : 6469 5758

Yes, you can try the Care Junction (about $200 per month). My son was there for P1 and P2. I pulled him out this year because they close whenever the school is closed which to me is the only downside of it. For example, during school closure days like PSLE marking days etc, working parents will have to take leave. but they are open during school holidays and will bring pupils out for excursions as well and have other holiday activities like canvas painting, flower arrangement etc.

I feel deeply indebted to Care Junction especially during P1 because naturally I was very concerned for my child being his first time in school. With Care Junction, the caretakers there teach them how to buy their own lunch, bring them to the assembly hall when school starts, teach them about the bible, have singspiration, homework supervision etc all within the school compound. I did not have to worry about my child going to school from any other before school care centres, or him crossing the road etc.

but the school closures are just too troublesome so now I use a before and after school care centre which also takes care of children quite well. I arrange for the PH school bus to fetch my sons.

She has also many favourite chinese story books.

Hi comfy,

Do you mind sharing some titles of Chinese Stories that your dd reads? Mine borrows CL books from NLB, usually from the same authors (to play safe) like 阳光姐姐 - 伍美珍 and 杨红樱.

Hi E3,
Finally, I asked dd to help me type all the chinese titles. Below are some of her favourite :

查理和罗拉 series (我绝对绝对不吃番茄）
趣味翻翻书系列（小猫眯眯在哪里）
Disney's小熊维尼阅读成长丛书
卡米的故事（卡米开学了）
花格子大象艾玛系列（艾玛过彩装节）
海豚绘本花园（在家里）(very nice picture cum words)
成语我ok2 (comic)
第一次一个人旅行 (buy from sch : comic)
嗯嗯太郎 (buy from sch very interesting about animal motion)
阿米莉娅的幸运年

Hope that your dd will find them interesting.

Yes, infact, I came to know this series first thru the chinese series. It is recommended by her chinese enrichment centre. They use such books (including the elephant series) to teach the lessons. Most of the stories are very lively and interesting. Later I am surprised to find there is an english version of it (from the library).

My dd is currently trying out these books


不一样的卡梅拉 （6册）- Very intersting and funny story. Initially it looks simple but after reading discovered that the language and topics mentioned is not that simple

露露和拉拉（4册）- This one is very suitable for girls. They have baking recipe in it as well.

I bought them from http://www.sgshinekids.com/index.html and collect them personally. If you guys have friends traveling to China, it might be worthwhile askign them for help, the price is really cheap there.

For Christian parents, there is also a Chinese Bible Activity books in Chinese - 我家的圣经时光
