Hi Rejoice,


Just checked my son's bag and i believed the FT had collected the book and kept it, so i cannot confirm your question. If you can wait, i can check for you with the school tomorrow when i deliver lunch or fetch them afterschool.

Hi Astee,

Can I ask you a favor? The book store has run out of picture composition for Chinese. I found someone selling it at KSP market space. However, I am not sure if it is the right one. Can I check with you if the book is from 胜友书局 and the title in Chinese is 陈老师教看图写话by 陈彦？thank you.

Thanks Astee, hope that is not too troublesome for you. I will check with my DS as well when in fetch him from the student care.

Hi Astee,


I asked my DS just now and found out that the school uses a different one from the one selling by the KSP parents. So look like I need to try my luck at the bookstore tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

One thing I need to find out from you is the remedial and enrichment classes on Thursday afternoon. That is not applicable for every student right? I also notice that the lunch hour on Thursday has been moved to 12:15 pm instead of 12:45pm. That mean the kids get out of school on 12:15pm on Thursday?

Thanks.

Hi Rejoice,


According to my girl (P4) timetable, those whom are supposed to stay back for remedial/enrichment lesson will receive notice from the school and the lessons will commence on 3rd week of this month, if i remembered correctly.

As for Thursday, according to the last letter issued by the Principal, Thursday release hour is 12.30pm, so i will standby to fetch my children at 12.30pm. if the classes are release early, like 12.15pm, i will ask my children to wait a while for me.

A few confusion this week but starting part is alway difficult, once the routine set in place, it will flow smoothly....keke.

Cheers,
astee

Hi Ivy,


The guy told me the 24 seater is a small bus! The bus my DS took was the small bus that was different from those they took for excursion. And already had seat belt. Worse case is that the previous vendor already increase fee by $10 middle of this year. For my case it was a wooing $22 increase from this year Jan to next year Jan!! Did u manage to call the school and talk to the principal? Let me know and I can call her too if need.

Hi rejoice137,

The increase is really unacceptable, my neighbour said that his DD has to pay $30.00 extra. Imagine, we are staying at the same block. Really must report, there is no standard to this increase. Sigh.....I'm still trying to call the principle, I think she should have received a few calls by now, can't imagine any parents affected not taking action..... :mad: I will keep you updated, once I get her....

By the way, yesterday, my son missed the school bus home, :yikes: bus operator said his name is not in the list :scratchhead: Luckliy, later they found out that they made a mistake, the vice-principle called and apologise. Imagine who send him back, I was surprise, it was the principle. I'm grateful.

Hi Astee,


Thanks. Just read the letter from school today. Tomorrow DS will be dismissed at 12:15pm. Don’t need to rush to prepared his packed lunch early in the morning. Yipee :-).

Also read about the new CCA. Looks like thisyear they have a few new CCA. Quite disappointed to see Art and Scout is on the same day and same time. DS will be interested for both. Now don’t really know which one to pick. Do you know beside robotic, is there other CCA that are not available for P2?

Hi Rejoice


Is your kid in P2? My son just bought the picture comp from the school bookshop today. We were so blur; we missed out this book when buying the texts from Popular.

Btw, does any of you have concerns about lunch in school? My son tells me for 2 days in a row he din have lunch in school cos the Q is long and when it’s his turn, the stall auntie says it’s all sold out!

[rejoice137]

Hi Ivy,


Yes I also think that this new bus vendor does not give good justification to fare increase. Furthermore the previous vendor already increased fare once. How come your neighbor has to pay $30 increase when it is same block as you? Is it because the DD is first time taking bus? I hope that something can be done to this. Let me know after you talk to the principal. Though my DS is not taking bus now, if needed, I can share my view too with the school.

Wow the vendor missed out your DS? So terrible and scary. Did your DS go to bus bay but the driver refused to take him caused they thought his name was not listed? It was very kind of the principal to send your DS home. He must have gotten a scare. Poor thing. thank God that your DS reached home safely.

Hi Bluebellas,


Sorry, somehow I did not see your message when replying to Ivy. Yes, my DS is in P2 and he managed to purchase the picture composition yesterday too. We went to school bookstore on 28 December and the store keeper told us the book was out of stock. Apparently they have restored when school open.

Oh dear, your DS did not have lunch for 2 days. Poor thing. I packed lunch for my DS these few days as he is a slow eater and take long time to decide what to eat. I know he is going to miss his lunch even during normal time. I think this is something to feedback to school since with most kids having lunch at school, the school canteen has to cater for it.

Is it possible for you to pack some snack or sandwich for your son for these few days until the school sort out the situation?

Hi Bluebella,


I met one of my girl classmate's mom and she told me her son had the same issue on day 1 when all the food was sold out and the stall that had food was having long Q, so her son went without lunch. He is in P4,same as my girl.

I think the canteen vendors didn't expect the huge demand and thus resulted to the shortage. So it will be good for parents to feedback to the school and they can informed the vendors.

Let me know if you need help to bring lunch to your son, i have been delivering lunches to my children for the last 2 days. (P2 & P4).

I was hoping the school can arranged for catered lunches....

cheers,
astee
