how is the catered food now? any changes?

[cherrygal]

I think we gave up monitoring. The principal and teachers said they will monitor the caterer. But I saw ds bring home a packet of Oreo biscuits so I guess they are at least giving our kids "branded" biscuits instead of those never-heard-of ones.


This thread has been awfully quiet leh.

Now more focused on the real work at hand.

Still monitoring but not posting here cos no point choking the post there. Not sure about those who are still catering but my son dun quite seem to like some of the meals.... like yesterday noodles, he complained that the sauce is little and tasteless... anyway, I'm still waiting for the new menu which the school replied me that they are working on with the caterer. It is supposed to take effect after CNY. So will see how it goes.

Another issue: ASKnLearn LMS

I'm a bit lost on this. So, the kids are supposed to log on and learn?

btw, any of your kids telling you that they need to bring whiteboard to school??

My ds Chinese teacher asked us to buy the whiteboard. The board is kept in the class and will use it during her lesson. She made the boys write the hypy on the board and show her. You can get it at the bookshop at $2.50, just ask your boy to tell them “小白板“.


As for the AskLearn, sometimes the teacher will post notices, homework for the boys to do. You can log in as and when to check or if there’s any homework, the teacher will inform the boys. You can also let your boy try the interactive lessons, they are quite fun.

Hi,
My DS said that the bookshop ran out of the whiteboards so I got one from AMK central for $1.90. Had transformer pic so DS was pleased.

Re catering, I suppose there're pros and cons. I read other threads and see parents fretting cos their kids are spending money on stationery rather than food. At least in MSH they are eating. That said, I was unhappy with the misrepresentation, ie giving us a menu but not following it.

With the P's assurance that they are taking the caterer to task, I think things will improve. Also I give my DS a banana or other fruit to supplement his recess so he gets more nutrition.

Hi Spies,
The form teacher told us to get one at the parent-teacher meeting. Mine is quite cheapo at $1.90. A4 size. I found it at AMK central near the central where this fashion and sportslink is. There were also spongebob and Ben 10. Comes with 1 marker (with a tiny duster tip) and two magnets.
