Hi,


Hope this reply is not too late.
There are 3 days with PE lessons.
Don't need to buy the PE Shorts.
Just buy the tank tops will do. Cos' there isn't time for the boys to go change from their school shorts to PE Shorts. During the PE days, just get your boy to wear the tank top inside the white shirt.

Hope this is useful.

And welcome to ACS jr!

Thanks for sharing, so PE shorts is not required?

hi mommies,


Any idea what to bring for the 1st day of school?
Esp for P2s?

Thanks

If you want, you can bring all the workbooks of 1A, usually Teachers will keep them in the cabinet in their classes. If not, don't worry about the first 2 days, teacher will tell them on the day itself.

cheers!

Ya, the PE shorts is not required. I don't understand why they still selling it though. But if you have already bought it, you can let your child wear it for his cca.

2bbtang,
Thanks for your info.
Already bought the PE shorts.
Its nice knowing DS can wear his tank top inside the white shirt, else by the time he got himself changed, PE is over.

Given DS character, if he needs to change fm uniform to PE attire for three times a week, will need to buy new uniforms very soon :oops:

Would suggest around 1.50 to 2.00. Personally, feel that food are not cheap though. Encourage your child to bring along water bottle during recess (those with sling carrier). And label it with his name and Class (Very important)

Just a suggestion, it is very common for boys to leave their wallet on the table or bench.. and they will run off without checking. Get your child a wallet and get a \"spring attachment\" or \"Coil Keychain\" which one end attached to the wallet and the other end, you can hook onto the child's pant. This way, your child will be \"reminded\" to put in the wallet into the pocket everytime after using. (if you need the picture of how it look, let me know, I will try to take a picture of it).

know the \"spring attachment\" thing, actually got that already

Will let him bring the Maths & Chinese 2A books. The rest shall wait for time table.

Really thanks for sharing all the info.

Hi everyone!


Thanks or sharing all the info. Really helpful for those of us who are inexperienced! I think the spring attachment thingy idea is brilliant. Do you know where I can get it from? Popular?

Didn’t buy the shorts coz the woman at Bibi and Baba said it wasn’t necessary.

My boy is really looking forward to P1, and so am I!

Yes, you can get it from Popular Bookstore. It should be less than $2. Take note, you must be sure that his wallet can be attached to the \"spring / coil attachment\". Some wallet does not comes with any ring or anything to be attached.

2bbtang,

Thanks! Bought the thing, and i can attach it to the wallet. But you know what, I can’t hook it to the pants as the clip is too small. ThInk will have to sew a loop onto the shorts, or use a safety pin…

What most boys will do are hook into the \"button hole\" on the side. You can try it.

By the way, which class is your boy in?

My son (starting P1 in Jan 2011) is in OLDHAM house... red shirt!!! Any other parents here with OLDHAM boys??

You can call up the ACJS transport office at 67375082 to check with the driver in charge of the area;-)

Cheers

Thanks.
Will do so tomorrow.

Osakachan,
do you happened to know how many times PE per week for P2 kids?
Was trying to figure out how many set of uniform and PE attire to buy.

Thanks.
