T3:

Heard from a friend that a bowl of noodle cost $0.70 so the kids need about $2 for pocket money! Also, the class are separated based on month of birth, that is why they have 12 classes.


I wonder typically how much parents give to their primary school children.

Hi T3, my son gets only $8 per week. He seldom eats at recess and prefer to snack on tidbits so he can play. He saves a lot too.

Hmmm…here’s me talking to myself. Just like CHS, TNS is a hot school, but where are all the newbie parents…Don’t they want to know something…anything???


My son has grown from a small, unsure fella to a tall, respectful (they auto- bow to their teachers) and confident child. He’s been given lots of opportunities to grow while there…even the weaker ones are rostered to be monitors, subject leaders etc. He especially loves PE lessons…which unfortunately, is sometimes cancelled near exams. They do the 1.6km NAPFA run at the beach. Their school has adopted a small garden there too and the students take turns to tend to the plot.

They wear PE attire to school during the hot months. It’s compulsory to read Eng/Chinese story books before assembly.

He loves school so much that he’s feeling sad that his days there are numbered…but at the same time, he looks forward to playing internet games after his psle.

Twins:

My firend's daughter is in Sailing and loving it! So committed to it that she spends at least 2 to 3 times a week just on sailing, on top of her BICEP classes, music and ballet. Then again, she's any mother's dream....committed, mature and disciplined :love:

Hi twins,
it's easy to guess who yr friend's daughter is..There's only 1 girl in bicep who sails, I think. :lol:

Any feedback on what is Mr Chin’s style ?

[tankee]

I do not know of his style.


I read from a KSP parent’s post in Pei Chun thread here that the Pei Chun is said to be academically driven and emphasise on discipline. And said to have lots of homework.

googaga:

About the booklist, given that the orientation is in late Nov, would the bookshops run out of text to sell? :? Any idea where to get booklist in advance? Maybe Tankee can help?

Dun worry abt the book list, last yr end when i'm getting my girl's P2 books, we got everything from popular bookstore (end up paying cheaper than what was quoted from the school bookshop. So you get to shop for books at a cheaper rate and no need to queue for ages...plus u get to enjoy Popular bookshop aircon hehe
