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?

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

When my son was in lower primary, I got those Velcro type...now that he's in upper primary, I get those with shoe laces as he will need how to tie them when he goes to army. For my daughter, the Bubblegummers brand with velcro are very comfortable.

As for Mandarin, do make sure your girls can handle phonics well b4 they start lessons on hanyu pinyin. The first 2 terms is on mainly hanyu pinyin. IJ girls of today cannot 'kan tang' anymore...the worksheets are tough for P1 standard. I just emailed the teacher to inform her that the homework was done by ME as it is simply too difficult to explain. Out of the blue (now Term 3), there are sections on 辨字测验，短文填充 and 理解问答...my daughter refused to sit through when I explained...she was simply put off with the length of the passage :frustrated:
