just to confirm, mon, wed and fri are days for english slient reading and tue and thur are for chinese slient reading? i tot that was what i heard during orientation but my boy tells me otherwise.


also, if school ends at 6.25pm, that is including flag lowering ceremony? bus service tells me will reach home around 6.45-7pm. we are staying opp compass pt and chose school bus to save the troubles of fetching and weather.

Juz wonder whether there will be any silent reading in the 1st wk for those P1 newbies. For the story bk, are they suppose to bring their own? Any particular type of story bk? What are they suppose to do after reading? Can anyone pls advice? Thks.

Yes, from 1st week. If forgot to bring, they are likely to get punishment by standing throughout the silent reading/assembly time. This is to instil the discipline in them to remember what they are suppose to do daily.

They may bring any story/educational books except comics/magazine - even Young Scientist type of magazine also not allowed. They may record the books read into the Journal but not compulsory.

Hi timtim, :thankyou: this is really very important information. Initially I tot the silent reading will only be proceeded after they hv settled down which is after 1st wk. Must really remember to bring story bk on my dd 1st of school.

For the type of story bk, do u mean that their teacher will chk individual student prior to silent reading?

I have not stepped into library for decades. Becos of my son, we go there now every 3 weeks. For what, to meet the demand of the silent reading lor, read until no books....sigh. If you are passion card member (I am one), even better, can borrow 8 books instead of normal 6 books.
