Hi kiasumami and kitbest
My DS only had a page of Hanyu Pinyin homework yesterday, he said that he cant finished it in class.
Is there Jie Jie (buddies system) to help them buy food??? I tried asking my DS is there any aunties help you to buy?? he said he don’t know and he just want to bring bread to school.
Any idea what time does the school starts??? is it 11.45 as stated in the school website?? becos the school bus only comes to pick my Ds at 11.35 and he is the usually the 2nd or 3rd person to pick.
Have you receive any timetable yet?? -
Hi Dark Chocolate,
Yes, I'm a SAHM, but still find it super hectic now that my son has started p1. Maybe becoz I have a 2nd one (19mths) to take care of too. So evening once I fetch son back, have dinner then need to check his bag for homework and help him pack for the next day. Really admire you mothers out there who have to work and supervise your sons/daughters for homework etc...
Can I check how does a SC operate? What time u need to bring yr DS there? How much they charge per month?
For mommies who have kids taking school bus, can provide an idea what time they pick up and where u stay please? Am thinking of letting my DS take this option once he has settled down a bit...thanks.
Strange, my DS from 1F doesnt seem to have any chinese homework so far. Dunno if really dun have or he had finished in class each time :roll: nomally he only has either Maths homework or most of the days English homework on the Stellar worksheets. -

hihi, I am home around 7:30pm to 8pm every day. Not too bad if no OT. But after dinner, shower, can only sit down with DD around 9pm. Yes, my maid helps. otherwise, die die must die.ululu
hehe .. i also thought pc is computer but i really dont think so leh.
do you usually need to work late? think i have asked but forgotten, your maid or MIL takes care of your DD? I made DS sit by me to pack his bag together, coz if I pack, he may not know if I have packed certain things or not, and where its placed? but agree with you, we are sooo protective and take too good care of our children.
blurmommy, for school bus schedule, you better call the driver to find out coz even for those stay in the same area, pick up time can be different. All depend on bus route.
School starts from 11:45am after 10 Jan as I read from somewhere. -

School starts at 12 noon. I asked the Mr Chong and he replied that arriving at between 11.45 to 12 noon is not considered late. So I also wondering why need us to report to sch so early. Yesterday, I found out from a 'cool' P1 parent (she has older kids at PCS) - she told me that our children suppose to bring 1 story book daily and spend that 15 mins reading at hall. Mon to Wed, English book. Thurs - Fri, Chinese book. Wonder why the sch didn't tell us! So, I take it easy today, didn't rush to reach sch at 11.45. -
kiasumami:
Just found out this directly from Mr Sin. It's A4 drawing block. Give the whole block to your DS and the teacher will keep. I need to go back to the bookshop again as I bought only 1 to be shared by my DSs!DS told me she has to bring the correct \"A\" size drawing block on Friday, I keep asking her what \"A\" size (A3, A4 or A5??) drawing block but she insisting \"A\" size only, I told her to ask teacher one more time but she said \"Teacher won't repeat\", I told her to check with her friends but she said \"they won't repeat\" ...I almost fainted ... from communicatin here, I guess it should be \"A4\" size lah.
After so many days of 3xdunno from my 3 DSs, I am going crazy. So for the last 2 days, I started to call the school to ask whoever I can get hold of! Especially after this incident: On Monday night, my 2 DSs (1H) said to bring art stationary next day and they influence my DS1 (1E) on WHAT to bring. So on Tues, my DS1 (indeed have art class) brought 1H art stationary but not 1E one. :stupid: My DS2&DS3 bring the right art stationary but they do not have art class on Tuesday; its once a week on Mon. :stupid: I still don't have updated 1H timetable as their form teacher still on MC. -

Again, i asked the sch this morning (any teacher shd be able to tell us) since I can't take dunno anymore....ululu
hehe .. i also thought pc is computer but i really dont think so leh.
PC = Pastoral Care
It means bonding time between form teacher and the students AND teaching the pupils sch core value.
PAL. Don't know what is stands for. But the lesson is on Chinese cultural things like WuShu, Calligraphy, etc.
My DS1 told me that he is going to have Wushu today and he is so excited abt it. -

DD also told me have to bring story book for Silent Reading, Mon-Wed : English / Thu-Fri : Chinese (read text book if no story book). No timetable is receeived for 1D. -

I fetch DS to SC around 8.30am daily, SC opens from 7am onwards. DS’ SC provides tuition (optional, need to pay extra if sign up) so usually he will have breakfast and starts tuition by 8.30am. SC splits the kids into 2 groups, taking turns to learn spelling or do silent reading and tuition. After that, he shower and change into uniform, eat lunch and SC sends him to PCS before 12pm. SC will also fetch him after school back to centre for us to fetch him home. DS’ SC has night classes for other kids so they don’t close exact at 7pm, can be a bit later but I try not to as he may be hungry. DS’ SC charges $290 with tuition per month, need to pay extra if its school holiday period.
Yar, school starts at 12pm and the children need to be in school by 11.50am latest based on what was written in parents letter. And yes, got silent reading everyday. DS only told me he wanted to bring his story books this week and when I asked how about those that didn’t bring coz I didn’t see this silent reading written anywhere, he said read text book if no story books. Didn’t know got English and Chinese on different days though, I better ask tonight.
nonkiasu - Your situation is really chaotic :!: , can imagine how difficult it is for you to manage. PAL - Programme for Active Learning. 1C has volleyball on Wed and wushu on Thu this term.
Anyone knows if bookshop has stock for red files already? Supposed to buy one more file for him for English. -
The homework now is getting more and more. Maths he brought home, so many pages need to colour. Doing them, DS is able to finish the work in school but it is the colouring. So many pages. Wonder this is for kids to kill time, Fruitful or not. They are already 7 yrs old this year. Need to develop their dexterity skill in colouring … Sighhh … Can’t finish tonight. Tomorrow morning ask him to continue.
He enjoyed his Wushu … he said no fighting … which he is looking forward to.
