Wow that's fast!! I'm still waiting for their daddy to bring us shopping for all the stuff... man, they always wait till last min hahahah

Hi all, just another kiasu qn… Where will u be buying the sch ahoes frm? I know of a colleague who bought 2 pairs of sch shoes for her girl. Is it necessary? Aldo I was thinking of buying white plain Jane shoes. Or will Velcro shoes be better?

Hi mummies, I’m new to this thread… Juz wonder if u know if it’s a long wait list for P1 next yr… I’m within 1-2km and this year’s balloting at within 1km. So I registered my dd in kcp… Tks

[Kaylasmum]

Ya I know what u mean. I work v near bras brash so of late, I hv been browsing the assessment books. So many choices. Must be a lucrative market for publishers. I hope she eases well into p1 but I also don’t want to hot house her too much. I just hope that whatever prep I give her, it will be sufficient without being too overwhelming nor stifling.

What abt other mummies? What do u do to prep Ur girls?

Hi jokokng

I am also at 1- 2 km but I was under phase 2b which need not ballot.
Just submit Ur name. U never know. Are u staying at bishan?

[JOKOKNG]

Hi Kaylasmum,


Tks for your advice.. Yes prob I shd try.. Yes I'm staying in Bishan.. I'm not a catholic so can't be in phase 2b..

[gksmummy]

Hi jokokng, I think u shld call the sch and ask. If u’re convinced that ij tpy is the sch for ur daughter then just put ur name on the waitlist ASAP.

For me, I was recommended to Andrew Er and Simon eio for maths. However, I’m still not buying anything for girl to do… I’m afraid (like wat kaylaamum mentioned) will end up killing her passion later on. The hw which she brings home frm childcare every weekend is Already a lot. For now, I think I will hold off till maybe oct

exciting discussion, buy, buy buy… i also excited to buy shoe, uniform, bag…SPI is the bag I’m going to get… Dec should have promotion/discount .

prepration for P1,well i am those KS parent… My gal has started her P1 assessment since Jan this year, but is one day do about 3 pages… so as not to "stress" her
i hope she can be more relax when she is in P1 as she needs to cope with waking up early, new friend, new place, new schooling experiences… so hopeful she comes home no need to tuition to catch up schoolwork
