My girl has a classmate since P1, who always like to today be your frenz, tomorrow dun be ur frenz. The worst thing she would ask all her frenzs dun be my girl frenz..

Undertand this is kind of growing up process, I guess, but how should I console my girl not to be bother abt such issues?
I have been saying again and again to ignore her but today still come back crying abt this girl...

what should I do?

My girl same here. One of her classmate aslo when she likes, friend my girl, don't like friend others. But not bad as to tell other classmates not to friend her.

Tell your girl not to give up, look around, observe her classmates, there sure be one of them likes to be her friend.

Hi,


my gal is in P1 and about a month ago, she was asked to go to the LSP room to sit for a test which she claim was v difficult with questions on multiplications, divisions and additions in thousands. Apparently, she told me that only 3 students from her class was asked to sit for the test. She sat for the english one too and she said that was much easier. Does anybody knows what is the purpose of this test and has anybody’s children sat for it?

Not aware of such thing. I only heard of weaker students being grouped into a separate class for special coaching. Maybe your daughter is gifted? Is she very good at Maths since young? I wonder how school can \"see\" such ability only 1 month into P1....no matter what, shouldn't this a good thing?

Hi timtim,


My gal is just average. I am puzzled too how they can ‘see such ability’ just 1 mth into p1. Maybe its just a random pick. Bt i feel tat if its a test to sieve out the gifted, then it might be too early to conduct the test.

Sigh.. this is part of the growing. I guess there's not very much we as parents can do other to let them know that we are always there for them. I still remembered the same thing happened to me when i was in preimary school. I ended playing with the boys because they are less \"petty\" with such things. As long as u can play, guys generally dun pick on you. As opposed to girls, some how we pick on others for all kinds of things... funny looking hair, speak strangely, fat, quiet etc...
I ended quite a tom boy in my early childhood years because of that. No matter what, all ends well. I exhibit no macho traits as an parent now. I cook, sew, wear make up, shop like all other women.

That being said, no matter what i think this relationship issues are not that bad in lower primary. I worry when they grow older, BGR, jealousy, puberty. That i admit, was a big hurdle in my life. Even subsequently when i started work.

The ting xie #4 (Term 1) was with the previous list given out, it's on 9 Mar (Wed) as 8 Mar is school's anniversary. There is no new list for this week's Ting Xie and term 2 one not out yet.

I was not aware of the test and not aware of the grouping of weaker kids too. hmm…think my girl has been sleeping in class till she doesnt know what is going on.


Anyone has any tips for her to stay awake? She has been falling asleep in class till now. Teacher changed her desk to a lower desk but still no use. She told me now the teacher makes her walk 5 rounds in the classroom.

Hi, helping my sister to check. My nephew is studying in Nan Chiau P3. This year some of the afternoon he has supplementary lessons and CCA to attend. All of us are working and there are no school bus available to send him home after the lessons and CCA. Just to check how parents cope in this kind of situation. Or is there any SAHM or aunty staying around the same area can help to do the fetching? They are staying at Compassvale Crescent.

LSP is a special programme not for e gifted but for pupils with learning needs disability. Some kids are " switch off" during lessons, some dun learn n some are slow, maybe cos they started schooling late. Gifted children will only be highlighted in P3. Going for LSP means the teacher identified something not right or suspected something. whether e kid is in LSP will depend on the results.


By the way, P6 parents whose kids are going to e malacca tour might want to note: my Malaysian friend just told me that place Mahkota hotel is "very dirty" that’s why it’s so cheap. luckily, my girl is not going. I do not want to entertain supernatural stuffs.
