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.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.
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: -

Oh. I saw \"PEHE\" session in her timetable. So that's the time where they will have their basic gym?
If your DD join any CCA, you will have to send her yourself. The sch bus will not fetch.Tinkerbelle:
[quote=\"jesyeo\"]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?
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.
Wah..do somesaults in the air! My DD sure scared of that. She is scared of heights. :)[/quote]When the gals have gym depends on their register number. Half the class will have gym lessons while the other half will have normal PE lessons. The the next PE lesson, they'll swap around.
I don't know what's PEHE. Don't see that on my DD\"s timetable but saw PE/Health Ed instead. Wonder if HE is the same as Health Ed?? DD1 did mention that this year Health Ed and PE are 'sharing' periods....dunno what that means though. -

My DD is in GSSC too. Thot we were late, always arriving at ard 8.30am, u r even later. :lol: Let's PM each other our DD's name then we can ask them to look out for each other.
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.
acbj, looks like everyone notice the preggie lady. :rotflmao: I will surely walk up to u the nex time round. -

My DD's FT wrote down the $3.10 required for her in the helpmate. However the rest of the required sign off pages in the helpmate was scribbled by DD (recognise her untidy handwriting, hee....)
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.
So far, quite happy with her FT, Mrs. Sarah Tan. -
acbj:
Yours too???!!! Let's PM each other our DD's name leh. What time do u normally drop her off?
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.

Hi Tinkerbelle,
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.
Thks for all the clarifications (to my other earlier questions). Think all of us will agree that it's so good to have u ard at this thread.

Hi all,
Dunno if this will help you guys for the first few months but during the parents' briefing, maybe you can suggest to the form teacher to email you the homework (on days when there's lots to write down in the Helpmate) and other reminders pertaining to the class.
Last year, a few parents suggested this to DD2's form teacher because some gals didn't write down the homework or didn't write it down properly. The teacher was kind enough to email us daily for the first few weeks and subsequently lesser as the gals got used to writing in the Helpmate. But you still need to get your gals to copy down homework from the whiteboard in class so that they can be trained. With the teacher's email, we just counter-check if our DDs are copying the right things and guide them to copy properly.
I'm so lucky this year that DD2's teacher is also emailing us. I just received her first email today to inform us of today's homework and remind us to bring thermometer for temperature-taking exercise tomorrow and early dismissal at 5.30pm.
P1 parents, don't fret, the sch will distribute thermometers to your DDs.
