Tinkerbelle, thanks for your concern. My 3 kids were down with hfmd, but have since recovered and gone back to school.


I actually live just across the road from Mayflower Secondary School (near the Bishan Park side), and the MCS girl who takes the bus from my area gets up the bus at 11.40pm and arrives home a little past 7. Infact, that is very likely the first few stops. So it's really strange that your friend's dd gets home so late! :scratchhead:

What are your plans for the September holidays? Are you going away as well? Or does your dd1 have to study and revise for PSLE?

Hi michyms,
Oh dear, your poor kids......Glad to hear they have since recovered. Can imagine you must have been busy looking after 3 sick kids. Now can put your legs up & chill...keke.

I just double checked with my friend and she lives opposite Mayflower Primary; not Mayflower Sec. Sorry, got mixed up...I thought Mayflower Pri & Mayflower sec were beside each other..keke :oops:

We won't be going away for the Sept holidays. DD1 needs to go back to sch on Thursday & Friday; plus only 4 more weeks to PSLE so this is the best time to catch up on some revision. Will probably just bring the kids out for short breaks. DDs want to go to the Forest Adventure & watch The Smurfs. What your your plans for the Sept break?

Tinkerbelle, I was working at home for many days, and it was a little crazy trying to work and break up fights at the same time :slapshead: but just glad its all over now


Ah, yes, Mayflower Primary School is really quite at the further end of Ang Mo Kio which explains why your friend's dd reaches home so late. Whereabouts do you stay? Also in AMK?

Where is the Forest Adventure, that sounds really fun! And I also want to watch Smurfs - relive childhood memories of watching Smurf on Sunday mornings :rahrah:

Only my youngest one has a school holiday, my older 2 are in the childcare so they have school as usual (plus teachers are trying to make up for lost time while many kids were away during the hfmd period). Just our of curiousity, do the kids in primary school get hfmd? I seriously hope not, as I can't imagine school being closed for 2 whole weeks!

Hi michyms,
Wow...you're truly a wonder mum...fancy trying to work at home, taking care of 3 sick kids, breaking up fights etc. I'm sure you must be glad that life in your household is back to norm once again....hehe

No, I'm not at AMK. I'm at Bishan....not far from AMK.

Forest Adventure is at Bedok Reservoir. It's great for kids who are active with too much energy to spare....like my gals...keke. It's for kids 5 years and above. If your DD1 is interested, check out the website: http://www.forestadventure.com.sg

Ya, I remember watching smurfs on Sundays as a child too...that seems like many moons ago...keke. Watching with the kids will surely bring back some sweet memories. :love:

DD1's classmate ever had a mild case of HFMD which was picked up in the early stage and was kept at home for 2 weeks. The sch did not close down and lessons were as usual for the rest of the class. Guess the sch did not feel that it was a threat as long as the affected child was isolated for 2 weeks & certified well enough to be back in sch by the GP.

michyms:

Ohdaddy, I agree with Gin. The bus would go straight to HV, and if you are the first few stops, your girl may be home by 7.15pm even?

Tinkerbelle:

Hi ohdaddy,
Don't think your DD will get home at 9pm.

There is a bus that plies Farrer Rd so I guess it should go to Holland as well. If you are concern about your DD being hungry, you can always pack some light snacks for her to eat on the bus. I've seen many gals eating on the bus as the buses leave the sch.

Gin:

Hi ohdaddy,

But I think you should contact the bus operator and find out, if there are not too many students coming from the Holland area, it might not take too long. You can go to the school website to get the contact number of the bus operator, call them up and find out how long the bus ride is likely to be.

Hi all! thanks for the advice. Yeah, best I ask first and get a rough gauge, and maybe try for a month see how.

Any mummies at share with me the school fee for P1?

Hi ohdaddy,
Sounds like a great idea. All the best! :xedfingers:

Hi Linlin,
There are no sch fees payable for Singaporeans.
Only $5.50 for standard miscellaneous fees (payable by GIRO for all students) and another $5.50 for second-tier miscellaneous fees (amount decided by sch...to a maximun of $5.50).

Second-tier miscellaneous fees can be paid via GIRO or through your child's Edusave account.

For MCS, the monthly combined mics. fee is $11 from P1-P6.

:thankyou: :thankyou: I still blur blur..thanks for the info.. I'm worried I can't afford them to go Pri. Now my first two in school their school fees total about 1200. Very tough :gloomy:

Hi Tinkerbelle,


Hmm my girl din comment much the Teachers Day. She was happy that her teachers like the presents. I only bought presents for her form teacher and mother tongue teacher guessing she won't have chance to see the rest of the teachers.

How about ur DD? hope she enjoys too.

Hi Tinkerbelle,

For tmr Teachers Day celebration, are the gals allow to bring presents for the teachers? Will they have the time to pass the presents to all the teachers?

Hi jesyeo,

Sorry, just saw your post today.

Yes.... the gals are allowed to bring presents for the teachers for Teachers' Day. They will usually have Teachers' Day celebrations in the morning as a sch, then head back to their respective classes with their form teachers...so they'll have time to pass presents to the teachers.

Did your DD enjoy her first Teachers' Day celebration at MCS?
