I heard somewhere that the Y1 students have to read 'xi you ji' . Is it true? :?

Yes when my dd was Y1 & also 窗边的小豆豆. Year 2 was 水浒传. The schools would get them buy these books so i suggest yoi borrow from the library if you want your child to read now.

窗边的小豆豆 and 水浒传 were tested and graded.

Year 1 must memorise 唐诗, year 2 宋词.

Sall, your child DSA in RV? The uniform vendor has another branch near boon lay too. Yes, they wear primary sch uniform on the reporting day. Chiotic? My child's time was in Malan campus, buying of uniform was in hall and books in canteen. Quite a lot of people. We bought uniform at tiong bahru and books from the school in seperate days. Price the same. During dd time, bo briefing for parents. Parents were invited for briefing on the first week of Jan when the kids camp in sch for their orientation. Then after CA1, Teachers meet Parents session. Justsay can advise her experience, hers was in boon lay campus.

The procedure was more or less the same. No briefing for parents too until end of first week after school started.
The queue for uniform was about an hour plus. There was no Q for buying books though so we bought them on the same day. After that we need to register the particulars online in a computer room. You can also register for a locker on the same day. We paid $40 plus for that locker thinking they can put those heavy textbooks, umbrella and other stuff in the locker but most of them did not use the locker at all, so you may wish to register later when your child really need one.

This year they only did 水浒传, no 窗边的小豆豆.

Thanks Justsay, I’ll go get the uniform now, less stress on the registration day. Seems like it’s going to take the whole morning.

Remember to buy socks with RV logo as well. The buttons drop off easily, you can buy some spare.

Oh, seems like there's a slight change of syllabus. Where did you watch the play ? I get dd to watch on you-tube before she read the book.
Next is to watch 水浒传.
