        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

                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?

                The mummies here are really excited.
                I bought Bubblegummers white shoes Velcro type from Bata...it's very soft PVC and easy to wash...soles can also be taken out to wash. 2 pairs, in case you wash one and it's not dry in time. Buy shoes at the end of the year as there is usually 'Back to School' sale.

                  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?
                  Don't hot house your girls...leave it to the teachers to do that.
                  In the meantime, get your girls to read as much as possible. It not only helps for vocab but also Maths...bcos Maths in today's context is a play of words...it's no longer straightforward addition or subtraction.
                  You can get assessment during BookFest in Dec...Suntec.

                    That balance is impt. Just spend from 8 am till now to learn tsien tsia ting xie. Geez I really dislike that! And so does she. But I know ij girls used to be v kan tang in past so I want to ensure she doesn’t grow up to be one. Times hv changed. Mandarin is really v impt.

                    Yah reading … I totally agree. The Montessori phonics help a lot. So I m not too worried abt that.
                    Yeah buy buy buy… Bubble gummers I saw… So soft… These days the kids are so lucky…

                        Velcro shoe it's depend on child's preference. Like my boy p5 , he dun like to tie shoe lace so he likes the Velcro type
