Don't know leh, my DS will have left the school by then. But the school didn't annouce on switching to single session, and probably not.

Hi TwaTau,

Yap. I doubt it is a single session... the whole idea of renovating is to prepare for single session. I intend to transfer DS2 over next year for P3 and he can enjoy morning session.

Is your kid in P5 GEP class? Would like to check with you if you see a need to get P5 textbook. I think their focus in P5 is more of projects... right?

I felt it is a waste as I bought the P4 textbooks for DS1 and now, after close to 1 yr, a thick layer of dust settle down... I don't even remember seeing him searching for textbook or anything.

Yes, DS is in P5 GEP. Bought the Maths text book when he was in P4, blur blur of course, and DS insist he cannot study without textbooks. Afterwhich same as you, no use for the text book. P5 we didn't buy the Maths text book. But still buy the activity books, as the teacher still got them to do some work from these activity book. Science textbook still have to buy, occasionally use for reference. DS revise mainly from his notes.
As for focus, there is still alot of topical work in the main subjects, and SS is mainly on Singapore history. DS did his IRS in FPS. Spend alot of time researching on internet and books for this assignment. And there will be a lot of Maths/Science Olympiad that they will be asked to participate. Quite a busy year, but by P5, they should be used to the pace.

Hey, thanks for sharing. Hmmm… so I still must get textbooks, activity books etc… can’t skip.


BTW, I just read the newsletter and they going to charge for CCA i.e. co-payment in 2012… to begin with, the CCA are pretty limited in choice… and I’m wondering how they managed the expense… :!:

If you have paid for it, it should be inside. Most likely they have left it during the packing of your books.

rose, i just bought my textbooks too.

I realise it was on the buying list but the staff had to manually take 1 to put into the box.

The staff who did your book purchase probably forgot to pack it for you.

Just called Pacific bookstore. It seems that the Pupil's Diary was not available at that time although it was on the list. That is why there is no price for the same. The lady from PBS said we can purchase the diary from the bookshop on Orientation day.
