What to bring on the first day at school

[bebebub]

In the absence of a class time table, does your dd/ds bring all her/his books to school on the first day of the new school term? If not, how do you decide which books to bring? TIA.

My gal will be going to P1 next year…just received a letter from her school regarding the books to bring. She is to bring all the ‘A’ books to school. I’ve labelled everything as required…from books to files to stationery.

I’m clueless on what to bring also. There is no mention during orientation and next Tues school reopens liao. Should I call the school to check? :!:

U may want to follow parentof3's suggestion.

parentof3:

Bring all the A workbooks and some single line and square exercise books. Teacher may want to collect the workbooks. Some schools collect on 2nd day.

Her orientation booklet said to bring 2 single-line exercise books (Eng/Math), 2 big square exercise books for MT. Then bring just the 'A' activity/workbooks. I've labelled everything, just in case. School even mentioned to label stationery.

Hi,


As my daughter will be attending her first day at school P1 tomorrow, I am really lost as to what are the things I need to pack up for her?

does she need to bring ALL the books?
What else?

Thx.

During my son's orientation, we were briefed by the principal to bring the following :

1) 3 sharpened pencils
2) an eraser
3) 1 story book

But it may not be the same for different schools.

hahaha... I like this... ya.. to kiasu parents, kids are like joining the army... armed with pencil, ruler, eraser... ready for the battle!


Have fun on her first day tmr. Sure will be a memorable moment... when u see your little one being guided out for recess time.

coolcat:

Anyway she is not joining the army so its ok after all.

Finished packing my P1 girl school bag this afternoon and realised that her school bag really weigh a ton :!: j/k not that heavy but still very heavy for a P1 kid.
