          Hi Kaylasmum


          I was there in the morning at 9 plus. Took the morning leave to clear all their school stuff. Glad to clear all before work.

          Other experienced mums, can advise if the optional items used at all in school? I did not buy as my husband say they will not use them at all, no point wasting money. Is it good? If it is good for my girl, I do not mind getting it.

            Ya I did not buy any of those at all. I went to popular to browse some of those items but did not buy. Will the school along the way hv students buy assessment books? Saw parents loading trolleys of it in popular. Seems like the norm. Also common for k2 to do p2 sometimes p3 work too. Scary!

              Dear mommies,

              Can you believe this? Continuation of the uniform saga. After the failed attempt on sat, they told us to collect today. Just before going down, my hubby called and they said uniform is not ready yet. They called back an hr later to say they hv no such order and hv lost the order chit. I m speechless!!!
              Stress now because we are away from 1-19 and thud need to settle all these first.

                No worries...P1 girls will be assessed every 10 weeks in May/Aug/Oct. After May test results, the girls are classed according to their strength/weaker groups. My daughter is in a smaller group for her Chinese.

                  I bought only one optional title for Eng since there isn't any textbook...but hardly touched it...don't know if it's bcos I have no time or bcos title is not that useful. Prefer to use my son's Teachers Production guide instead.

                  As for K2 doing P3 work, that's a little absurd in my opinion. I would prefer to build my daughter's foundation for her P1 rather than moving on too fast. P1 Math is on 0-100. P2 Math is to 1000. Strengthen foundation especially number bonds, phonics, hanyu pinyin first at K2/P1.

                    I totally agree with u Janet. Of late, I went to friend’s house and on their study table at p2 and p3 assessment books. Kid is 6 this year.

                    I find the optional references so so only. I didn’t buy too.
                    Trying to get her to read as much as possible. I think once she has the love for reading, it’s half the battle won.

                      Hi Janet_lee88


                      Are you a parent volunteer in IJ too? Can you share your experiences?
                      I understand that current P is new, any feedback so far?
