Hi Tink.


Yeah, my girl's been doing well with the school bus and the uncle that drives her is a very nice man. I'm so thankful for that.

I'm not too sure about her friends though. I hope so too.

BTW, I just went online to pacific bookstores to see if I could order online but sadly, I couldn't find Marymount under their list. Perhaps they've yet to load it.

I'll try again on another day

Hi fmastuki,
Fantastic to hear your DD is coping well with the sch bus.

Yes, check the Pacific Bookstores website closer to end of Nov, Marymount's booklist will be refected there once they' re ready to take our orders.

Hi Tink

Just ordered thee books online. I kinda ordered the assessment papers that they have as well. I thought it wouldn't hurt.

Got them to deliver to my place as I'd be too busy over the next couple of weeks to make arrangements to pick up the books. My girl is quite excited about it and so am I. Kinda looking forward to it. hee hee hee

Try Popular for school bags. It's pretty decent.

For shoes, I went to Bata. They have those Bubblegummers ones and their own brand. Fairly decently priced at around $20 a pair.

hi Tinkerbelle,


yes it is exciting...
Wondering if you have any tips to share on how to ensure that fewer careless mistakes are made? not reading instructions carefully, not to leave out any questions.. gave dd a practice paper and it was disheartening to see her carelessness

Hi wimdils,

Please don't feel disheartened. It's not uncommon for younger kids to make careless mistakes. Most do become more careful over the years as they mature. Here what I practise with my DDs.

1) I always get DDs to read the questions twice before 'jumping in' to answer the questions, especially with lengthy maths problem sums.

2) After reading the question, I'll get DD to highlight or underline only the key words in the question to focus/work on. Questions can be lengthy and kids can lose focus as they do not know what the question is really asking for with all that info overload.

3) Double check when transferring answer. For MCQ, some kids know the answer and write the wrong answer instead. For problem sums, after working out the correct answers on the side, some kids make careless mistakes while transferring their answer back to the final statement.

4) Teach kids how to double check. To children, when you tell them to double check, they 'll just flip through all the pages to ensure all questions are done. Show them how to double-check.....the kids need to go through all the questions once again and check through their working out and check through their final transferred answer. Yes, this sounds like a tedious process but it's a good habit to inculcate. Eventually, it'll become second nature to them.

Just my 2cents worth. Hope it helps. :celebrate:
