HUh?? red packet??? I thought they said, they encouraged children to bring oranges to their teachers only???


DS1 had checked with his classmates today (FT is on sick leave today).. think it's only for FTs.

\"[color=darkblue][i]E. CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION
(Mrs Tan Khim Yong, HOD/Mother Tongue)
The school will be celebrating its Chinese New Year on Wednesday, 2 Feb 2011.

School will function from 7.30 am to 9.30 am. Necessary arrangements have been made for those taking the school bus. Kindly make the necessary arrangements if your child is not taking the school bus.
All pupils are encouraged to wear traditional costumes. Those not in traditional costumes are to be in their school uniforms.Jeans, T-shirt, spaghetti straps etc are not allowed to be worn in the school. The non Chinese pupils are also encouraged to wear their traditional costumes.
There will be no lessons for the day and pupils are encouraged to bring oranges to school to greet their teachers. \"

Out of curiosity... I wonder what will the FT do with the oranges? 39 students x 2 oranges - wow wow.. . The school will donate to old folks home?? hmnm.... :?

titank:

Must bring oranges? Though just submit 1 empty red packet can already? :celebrate:

What is the purpose of submitting one empty red packet? Are you hoping that someone would put some money inside? :evil: :siam:

If I remember correctly, the students will bring the mandarin oranges to a place in the neighbourhood one of the days to \"bai nian\".

I think the school was asking for empty red packets for donation...on their week 2 notification. It was a project by parentlink.

Is that the one u all are talking abt??

preggie:

Will the teacher give parents their handphone numbers?

They will have to, I suppose it is considered an 'office handphone' where one should remain contactable.
Most of us r working parents, the fastest n easiest way is really either to SMS or call the teacher directly. Emails response would be too slow sometimes.

I don't think titank was referring to this. He was expecting the teacher to put some money in the empty red packet. :evil: :siam: (JK)

Titank, did your son tell you he had to bring an empty red packet to class?

[titank]

No, no not expecting the Teacher give $$ in red packet. Maybe I had confused with the Parentlink or the notification where mentioned bring empty red packets.

titank:

Eh can someone update me whether P2 the kids going to have SA1 & SA2 or just the same as last year where come to SA2 where study like hell targetting the 70%?

Titank, the latest weekly notification should clear your doubts, right?

Happy New Year to all mommies and daddies! My dd was sick throughout the CNY period... she has been absent for 1 week already... Today's her first day back in school.

I heard from a friend that there's a MT test this week too. My dd did not say anything (as usual!)

BTW, do you all remember if spelling and Tingxie will contribute to the overall results?
