Don't think they need to spend a cent but I will still give him $0.50 a day. Will make him save the money end of the day. Remember to give them some $0.10 coins in case they need to make phone calls.

I read somewhere (think it's inside the booklet) to give them a Singtel phonecard as office phone is for emergency only, so maybe no coin-operated phones in school? Public phones outside are all card-operated ones too.

[24hr-mum]

can also ask them go general office to make calls.

That reminds me... i need to bring him to a public phone and teach him how to make a call using either coins or phone card!

Err.... actually i was thinking of $1.50 on monday and $1 on every other day... then the balance of the money (on a daily basis) save it in a piggy bank which he can use to buy toys that he like! (abit of 'encouraging saving for a rainy day concept)!

But then - scully my plan back-fire and he comes home with new erasers (from the bookshop) everyday! :stupid:

Okies - Took leave today and went down to get the following items:-


1) Casio watch ($20)
2) Popular's Ergo bag
3) Bata school shoes (valcro type)

Anything else you guys think i need to purchase?

Water bottle?
By the way, now that the food is catered, how much money should we give our sons? Would they even need money for anything?
My son only know how to add up the correct amount to pay for his food but he is not very good in calculating the change if he pays more than the required amount.

Oh yah! Water bottle and wallet - forgot those 2!

So nice of you to take leave and did that. I was on leave for past 4 days and I couldn't make myself get out of the house.

Think that's about it.

Hello namie -- its a bit of bo-pian. Cos on weekends - if i go out, have to bring along the little brothers - which means i wont be getting any shopping done cos everyone will be like \"I want to see toys!\" the amount we step into a shopping center!!

I used to buy phonecard for my DS1 but everytime the card expires before he could finish using the value in the card.

Namie:

My son's name tag is green though house color is red. I think name tag color is standardized across the standards so teachers at one look know they are P1s.

I hav not receive the name tag yet, when did you guy receive it?
do we need to iron-on the name tag to the house t-shirt too as it didnt mention in the booklet?

[Namie]

I received it about a little more than two weeks ago. Together with the name tags, there will be instructions on how and where to iron it on.

[mum2jj]

I received mine on 30-Nov but I ordered late (mailed my order to them i/o ordering on orientation day). I thot the name-tag is for uniform only, must we iron on PE shirt also? And now that you mention, how about house T-shirt?
