YKVT:
Haiz my DD eat super slow sometimes. Recess = 20minutes?[/quote]Try not to worry too much.. I think the peer pressure helps them to speed up too..Pen88n:
[quote=\"YKVT\"]Do the children have enough time to queue up and eat during recess time?
Should be enuf. They even have time to go library or play if they are fast in getting food and eat.

No worries. Kids are different
when they go to primary 1. My petite daughter can even help another P1 to buy food. I was shocked to hear that, not that I discouraged her from helping. Asked her if she had time to eat and go to the loo and she told me, 'no problem.'
The P1s have buddies for about 2 weeks...P1s paired with P5s and P2s paired with P6. -
besides sandwiches, what else do mommies normally pack for child to eat that’s easy to eat, but got nutrition value ? TIA

hi phtthp, is your child a picky eater? My DD1 is, worried she might end up starving herself :roll: -

Sometimes DD will bring a small box of cereal and milo. Depends on her choice of the day wether she wants honey star / koko crunch / etc etc -

Cake, pao, kuah (avoid those with coconut), cereal, wafer, biscuits, noodles....... -
okay, so can i safely say, for a P1, we only need to give max. $1.50 for recess & hv a packed cake/cereal & pkt drink for daily consumption at recess?

If you pack cake / cereal & pkt drink for daily consumption, why do you still need to give $1.50 for recess? I think you should try to get your DD to learn to buy food and eat at canteen. Afterall, they will need to do that in Sec sch or even working.
I give my gal $1 for recess every day now, and she buys food at the canteen. Only rarely did she pack food - in cases where she had fav cake / food and so she insisted she wanted those for recess. -
cos i thought they may changed their mind at recess & wanna buy food instead mah... :oops:
btw, its DS who is going P1 next yr & nt DD. -

I will give DD $1 for recess and $1.50 if she needs to have lunch in school too, regardless of whether she brings food.
Yes, you are righ, sometimes she will change her mind and buy noodles instead of eating the cereal. At least she has a choice.
Whatever money she has left on that day goes into her piggy bank. So she says sometimes she is quite full after heavy lunch and will just go to the library during recess and save up the money.
I was also worried before DD went for P1, but really they will cope much better than we sometimes give them credit for.. Stay cool :snuggles:
