Btw is ur dd's teacher using the Maths textbook? My dd told me her teacher told them that is not necessary and asked them to keep the 1B textbook at home. Wasted my money buying it man!

She still brings it along anyway. That's not so bad...their STELLAR programme for English? They don't even use the book anymore...finished THE MAGIC FINGER in like 2 weeks into T1. :roll:

[Luanee]

Oh I think The Magic Finger was not for Stellar programme. That was for some literature stuff, my dd’s class only used it in term 3 when she had been carrying it to school since day 1! Stellar programme books are those used for their spelling list like ‘Mr Wishy-Washy’, "The Hungry Giant’ etc. Didnt need to buy those books.

email from teacher at 1am? Sounds like buds, boy! Better check to see if it is her :siam:

[Andaiz]

1am? I received something from her Math teacher at 1am - part of the aforementioned email correspondence on her AB issue. Mebbe same lady? Or got workaholic teachers…



Yes, MAGIC FINGER is their "textbook". They read and discuss content, language etc. STELLAR is the entire programme that includes:
- this MAGIC FINGER (yep, literature dissertation man);
- Big books that include "The Red Rose", "The Hungry Giant";
- Series of easy-to-read books that come under the STELLAR prog and available at Popular.

Oops!! That's why I did not mention the name here. Just to be safe.

My girl does not have much homework for English and Maths since day 1. She looks very relax and no stress so far. Just wonder is it the same for other P1 classes.

Same for mine...unless the girl doesn't finish her work in school. Just the weekly spelling/tingxie and math topical tests that when taken in the right context (of course it'd be, there're only 6+/7 year old), is meant to check on their progress.

DD1 seems better at this (probably shorter) than when sitting for her SA1. Think the 1.5 hour thingy tired them all out!

Well, I think she is enjoying her school so far especially now she is having her swimming lesson today during her PE time slot.


And during recess, she would go to the playground without fail!!! :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:

Oh don't they like swim class. Think our DD's sessions are on Monday. Came back with browned nose and absolutely loving every minute of it.

The playground's wonderful too. They're still P1 afterall. My girl goes to school in school bus so she gets a \"pre\" school session there first :oops:

[Luanee]

KSP, ur dd in 1H too? Haha what a small world... I am PMed u!! U referring to the 'map' email? I didnt notice it was sent at 1am until u pointed it out. Anyway my dd told me the teacher didnt go to school the next day, probably explain why she was still up at 1am?


And yeah, my dd loves the swimming lessons too, though she can't swim for nuts. Keep insisting that we bring her to the pool on weekends so that she can practice holding her breath under water. End up we practise during showering time and she said she improved greatly yesterday! Hee..

Recess time is tidbits and playground time without fail
