Hello acbj,
Oh No, my gal didnt mention to me anything about Green File!!! 2nd day she submitted the 1 square exercise book, chinese activity book & the CME book ( the book with the picture of \"Soil\" ) She told me today need to submit $3.10, a blue notebook, Listening comprehension & Handwriting practice booklets.....
So tough for the gals to remember what the teachers want them to bring... the teachers should at least get the gals to write inside an exercise book first....

My DD brought the clear holder and put the circular inside on the first day. She came home and told me about the green file that night. I thought the green file is for Music but after checking with her twice, she still tell me the same thing, so I let her use it.

I agree that it's best to let the students write down what they need to bring. Hopefully with the helpmate, it'll be clearer to both students and parents.

Today is the 3rd day, DD has been waking up late and we got into GSSC only at 10am. I've decided that this will be the arrangement since DH's timing is flexi. I kinda lost track, whose DDs are also in GSSC?

@acjb: If you are the preggie mom with Coach handbag, think I saw you on Day 1.

Yes! You are right!
Do come up to chat with me ok.... Hard for me to know and identify any of you...,
My child is attending GSSC too.
:lol:

Anyone DD interested in joint the CCAs? I wanted my girl to join the dance club as I feel she has talent in that but she not interested. She wants to join art club.


If she joined CCA, does it means that I have to bring her to school myself or the school bus will come and pick her up early.

I thought gym is compulsory for all students. So is not right?

If your DD join any CCA, you will have to send her yourself. The sch bus will not fetch.

Gym is compulsory for all P1 as their PE3 where they learn basic gym moves but the sch also has gym as a specialised CCA. Now, these gals can do somersaults in the air :rahrah: Training for gym as a specialised CCA is more intensive, twice a week.

Oh. I saw \"PEHE\" session in her timetable. So that's the time where they will have their basic gym?

Wah..do somesaults in the air! My DD sure scared of that. She is scared of heights.

Wah..that's really expensive. Did you ask your DD which club she interested in? or you decide for her.

Hee...mummy decide cos if u ask my DD, she will wan dance club, gymnastics, art club, tennis, etc.... Basically all on the menu. :lol:

How abt u? did u leave it to DD to decide?

Icic. I did ask her which one she wants and she says Art Club. But I think I am going to put her 1st choice for Dance Club, then 2nd choice Art Club. hehehe..I think she is going to get angry at me!. I will not put her for the gym as she is scared of heights...so she will probably get scare off.

Ohhh no...that means must make it a point to remember to check the sch's website regularly.... so 'stressful' hahahah...

If that's the case, then all of us here at KSP forum shld 有事没事, 小事大事, 好事坏事 make an announcement at this thread so that sotong parent like us noe what is gg on. :lol:

Yah agree. so worried that I will miss out any of the important dates.

cantbearit2:

That's what I thot. Is this held as a general briefing session for all P1 parents? or is this like an individual classroom setting whr the teachers will brief us for each class?

The beginning part of the parents' briefing is a general one for all P1 and P2 parents. This time all P1 parents will get to meet the Principal. I understand you all didn't get to see her during Orientation Day. After the Principal's address, all parents will then head back to their DD's respective classes to meet the form teachers, who will brief you on matters pertaining to the class. :lol:

Hi Tinkerbelle,

what do they use the white board for? I thot that was for art so din even bother to pack. As for the locker, can my DD put her stuff inside herself? Or do they need the teacher's permission to put thgs inside?

The white board is for the gals to do Chinese 'xi zi' writing, maths questions, practise spelling etc.....save paper. Once the gals have done their work, the teacher will ask them all to raise the white board up for her to check. Don't forget to pack white board markers and duster for your DDs.

Your DD can put things into her locker by herself; no need to ask for permission. Just remind your DDs to make sure she puts it into the right locker. All lockers have a number labelled next to it, according to the child's register no. My DD2 put her exercise books in the wrong locker on the 1st day last year and couldn't find it later.. :slapshead:

Tinkerbelle,


saw fr the term schedule that specialised CCA starts on the week of 10 jan, so roughly when will we know if our gals have been selected?

sorry for the many questions. :oops:

Only the upper Pri gals start their CCA from 10 Jan. The lower pri gals will only commence CCA on the 3rd week of sch (starting from 17 Jan). You should hear from the sch latest by next week if your DD has been selected for CCA.

Hi Cantbearit2,

Yes...you are right...I think we need to do that... :lol:
I am so used to my son's school where the teachers give out the term schedules to the boys and tell them to bring home for their parents....
Btw, which class is your gal in?
Mine is in P1 Responsibility

My DD is in P1 Perseverance. First day of sch, saw a girl in P1 Responsibility also v petite like my DD. Is it your DD?

Hi all!


Yes... after 2 days, I'm getting very sotong already, what to bring and what not. DD is in 1 Compassion, any fellow mummies here to share & compare notes for 1 Compassion class?

She got her helpmate, but used it as a diary instead. She told me need to bring English worksheet tdy..\"I love my family\", but when I whipped out that booklet, she told me whole stack. Thought it's quite heavy to bring everything there in one go, so we argued over this.

The Helpmate is like a diary for your DD to record down all homework and for parents to write notes to the teacher and vice versa when necessary.

As for the Eng worksheets, the teachers will collect the whole stack as she'll keep them in her cupboard in the classroom. This is to minimise the incidence of loss further down the year. Do remember to label your DD's worksheets before submitting to the teacher. :lol:
