Mine too! After they get the hang of it, you'll find that they keep going back. It's where they start their shopping habit! :lol:

Yeah mine is a shopaholic too, she buys back all the small small things from her school bookshop, i got to question her each time how much each thing cost lol..

Mine too, my home got so many different mechanical pencils, rubbers, and ball pens...those small things are really very cute, but make me angry with my DD's shopping habit as well...she used most of her pin money to buy those small things, and did not eat during recess time. Thus, I forbade her to go bookshop for a period.

P1 and p3 parents, your girls' classrooms are mostly on the ground floor so not too much heaving of bags up the stairs.

That's a good news... :lol: :celebrate:

Mine will tell me those little things are \"presents\" from her friends....As she know she will get a scolding from me if she tells me she buys them....

I usually pack a sandwich & drink for her to eat during recess + give her some pocket money. So her pocket money either ends up at the bookshop or the snacks vending machine....

I think it was bcos of feedback that these holidays should be on fridays to make it a long weekend. Something like that. It is not very enjoyable to have them plonked in the middle of the week then for the kids to return to school the next day.
