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.

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?

Don't worry....Once the kids go to pri sch, the sch fees are more affordable, compared to kindergarten.
When is your eldest starting P1?

Hi jesyeo,
Oh yes... DDs enjoy their teachers' day celebrations. We also just bought presents for the form teachers & MT teachers.

The kids will get more excited when it comes to Children's day....They will get to see teachers put up performances for them.... :imcool:

Tinkerbelle, I'm not a wonder mum :oops: - I had my MIL and maid to help out too, but I was around to make sure there was still some resemblance of order at home. So I was like the mediator of fights, and also at the same time, took the opportunity to step up some P1 prep work for dd1.

Yes, those days watching smurfs seem like many moons ago indeed - have you seen it yet? Let me know if its any good.
