Hi Ivy, Astee and Porky30


School is out. Hav you met up with the teachers. My DS went to school with me just now with T shirt and pants. He blamed me for not letting him wear uniform :-). Both the form teacher and the Chinese teacher commented my DS is just too talkative and loud in the class. Sigh. A bad habit he can’t kick. Tried to tell him many times but he is not conscience when he does that. Sigh. Hope he will learn eventually.

Hi Rejoice,


Yup, we went for the PTC. As expected, my DS form teacher and MT teacher commented the same of him - too many small actions in class. So now i am working hard to change his bad habits. Hopefully, the next PTC will see some improvement.

Hi Ivy
Welcome back. Good to hear your DS is doing well at class:celebrate: the form teacher commented my DS moving out of his desk CONSTANTLY this week :-(. Think will need a lot of work on him. 2nd term gas started and soon the kids will need to take test. Now spelling every week. This is really start of primary school :-). Hope our kids will get used to this kind of school life.

Hi Rejoice,


Ya, their \"Honey-moon\" period is over too soon. I always try to remind myself that they will have 6 years of primary school life from now, than I will not be so stressed up. This is the first time my DS having spelling in school, and it's 10 at a go, It must be tough on him too.

Hi Ivy,
I personally think spelling weekly is a bit too many. But that is because when I was P1 I could even remember all the letters :lol: Now the expectation for kids is a lot higher. Don't know it is good or not. But good for my DS that his k2 teacher started weekly spelling to prepare him for primary school so he is prepared. But I understand that not all kindergartens do that. But kids have high adaptivity so no need to worry too much for them.

Hi mng_kl

Welcome to the club. Hope u find the answer and advice you want.
I stay in Bishan. To be honest, TG was not my first choice due to distant. But I also did not choose Townsville though it is the nearest AMK school for us. One main reason is Townsville is still in partial session where the p1 and P2 are in PM session. It is very inconvinient for us and I feel that kids in PM session has less time after school. Also academic while TG is better than Townsville. Other AMK schools are just too far for us to consider. So far we are quite happy with the school and DS seems happy. But my reason may not be applicable to you Like Astee suggested, you should try to visit the open house for schools you are interested to see if you like what you see.

Hi Mng_KL,


A warm welcome to the thread. We stayed near the school and also i am the main caregiver for my 2 children. So it was an easy choice for us.

Of course, prior to that, i did some academic research on the school and we went for their open houses events. Through all these, i was confident that my children will enjoy their schooling years.

Don't worry too much as i believe when the registration time comes, you will know and do what is best for your DD.
