I called the school and was told parents will not be allowed into the school on the first day.


So excited although worried that he is not able to concentrate.

No worries, they will hv a buddy system. They will locate a upper primary to buddy with them for a period of time.

Btw, which class are your kids in?

Hi all,

Anyone hv kids taking conversational Malay? Good?

Yup, I remember my DS did that in Primary 2. Was ok but if not spoken or used on a regular basis as with all other languages, it may go wasted.

On the other hand, I thought it quite good to expose DS with another language other than those he already knew. So, it's more of the experience which I thought he should reap. Have fun!

Hi


Today was first day for my P1 child. Quite surprised that it was a quiet affair for us parents as my other friends whose kids are in other parents are given talks and tours of school and allowed to observe the classes.

For us, we dun even get to see them during recess and no timetable or note from teacher given to me at all.

I feel totally cut off with no interaction and dun know what to expect for the next few days. Is it usually done this way?

Hi Paulyn,

It is actually a good thing for the P1 child. It promotes independence. Remember they have a buddy system and your P1 child will be well taken care.

There will be timetable and also a note from the teacher introducing herself with her e-mail address and h/p number. You should get this by this week.

For my son I had this yeaterday. DLS is a very family oriented school....don't worry

Hi all,


My son is in 1H. Received 2 letters from Form & MT teacher plus the time table.

Form teacher’s letter says must put in school diary. I went to the bookshop yesterday & was told it’s currently nt available so I placed a temp diary in the homework file with a note to all teachers that the diary is nt available & to use the temp diary in the meantime.

MT teacher’s letter says to include the red file for the worksheets. It is also not available. It also says that the children are strongly encouraged to purchase the Chinese Weekly Magazine. Any of you know where to get this magazine?

One of the item to bring tomorrow is the social studies book. Do we need to pack the file as well? Then there’s Art lesson tomorrow. I am letting him carry the Art bag with all the things in there. However, there’s tubes of paint in there but no palette & brushes. Do I need to pack those in the bag r the school’s going to provide? Anyone can advise?

Thanks

Heee...heee..heeee...for art you need palette and brushes and most importantly apron.....believe me the apron is the most important thing :yikes:

hi Sysac, seems like your kid form teacher is quite on the ball.. with additional letters. We only get the timetable and a introduction letter from the teacher.


Bring art stuff? eh, i think for this week, just bring the books to school to keep first, only next week then follow time table?

Ya, i felt cut off from the kids and school as well with totally no involvement at all.. Well, good and bad.. and since they made it this way im also fine with it..

btw my kid is in class 1A...
