The classes are named after the school values. They are Graciousness, Respect, Resilience, Adaptability, Compassion and Integrity.

Hi mommies, I know this may sound like a silly question... but do P1 kids have cubbies where they can put their school bags and water bottles, etc? Or do they, like the 'good old times', put the bag on the floor next to our desks?


I bought a SPI bag and it has a water bottle pocket on it. Am wondering if it is easier to get a bottle to fit that pocket or one of the typical sling type ones.. I am thinking if there will be too many things for DD to take care of (bag, water bottle, maybe lunch bag, etc).

Any advice or feedback mommies?

Hi,jeanieg,
checked with DS liao. Schoolbag is placed nextt to them near their seat like old times. However, water bottles are placed outside their classrooms on top of their lockers.

DS's bag also SPI bramd, no ptoblem wirh strap or non strap water bottles (can fit in quite big size.)
His auntie got him a premium drinking bottle and has been using it since day1 of school. Unforunately, he couldn't find it on Cgildren's day. He said that he came out of classroom that day, and find it missing. APparently, stolen. :moneyflies:

Hi Maple Leaf


Thanks for the feedback. Hmmm… I guesd putting bags on the floor would mean it gets dirty quite easily. I got the fabric type version so will be hard to clean! Should have gotten the patent or vinyl ones.

I also realised that stealing is pretty common in pri schools ( dont think its just BTPS, right?) so it’s best not to get expensive stuff. And since bottles are placed outside, it’s even for inviting for kids to snatch!

I guess lockers are for the kids to put their misc stuff and books they dont meed to bring home right? Think better ask all these queries on Orientation day!

I have not bought a schoolbag for DS yet. But I've been hearing so much about SPI bag. May I kow how much is it and what is so good about the bag? I'm not sure if I should get him one that's durable or something he likes (not necessarily durable) so that he can have something new every year - a so-called incentive (?)

Been reading alot about the SPI bag on this forum so when it was on sale in June I decided to buy it. Supposed to be good for kids' posture. Some moms said it lasted 2-3 years! The size is also just right for my gal as she is skinny and small-sized. I tried other bags like the Hello Kitty range but they were just too big for her.

Think the SPI bag is about $100+ but I got mine at about $70+. The sale is usually during the school hols, mainly June and December I think.

At beginning of the term, the time table not fixed, DS has to bring lot's of books and the SPI bgg was super-heavy. I also have a trouble lifting it up. Only last term, then the the FT let them put more bools in the locker, and the load lightened to 1 to 2 books.

But on days when he need to bring back thick files, it becomes heavy again.
Maybe the fabric tyoe is better.

Anyway, he said that sone of his classmates got those schoolbags with wheels and it is easier to \"pull\" the bag from schoolbus to Arena. I explained to him that it is difficult to drag this kind of bag up the stairways when his is promoted to classroom upstaair next year. He replied that got lift lah..Oops.. I haven't been to his school b4 ... :oops:
Not sure if all students are allowed to use the lift.

Fotunately, his bag is not so much stuffs these days
