Just want to ask on the timetable, they have this called CME, anyone knows wat is this? Also wat is FTGP?

CME - Civics &Moral Education

FTGP- Form Teacher Guidance Period

(The abbreviation behind the class timetable) [/quote]

I checked the timetable again but i still din see the abbreviation you mentioned leh. Behind the class timetable is the table of which teaher teaching which subject. The only abbreviation i see is the CL which represents chinese, El for English and TL for Tamil. No mention of the abbreviation of CME and FTGP. Dun tell me different again[/quote]

My DD timetable show all the subject abbreviation. The timetable was dated 29 dec 2011.[/quote]
Mine too hv the subject abbreviation behind the class timetable. Perhaps you want to chk with the school admin. Without the abbreviation of each subject, it is quite difficult to identify which textbk to bring each day.

aiyoo dun tell me timetable also got variation. Do you mean to say it is stated behind the timetable for each abbreviation eg English, they stated which english books to bring, for Chinese whether that day have di zi gui or just the chinese textbook?

The inconsistency already happened in past yrs. I wonder who actually supported the teachers in all this admin work. Simple things like timetable should be at least standardised. Sigh.

Going forward, you will be used to a lot of funny things. If the teacher teaches few subjects, your kids may be asked to bring Maths Textbook on a day without Maths and use it during Arts lessons Cheers!

Now i will just wait and see when they are going to annouce the compulsory basketball and speech and drama. anyway i just signed my girl for the alumni program. No point waiting for school anymore

Sadly the CL cards won't be used at all. Think this has been shared in this forum before. So you can keep at home and use it yourself. Hee hee

Ya, I recalled that this hv been discussed before in the previous posting but don't understand why the CL cards are listed in the booklist as compulsory. The book store juz packed inside the box. No choice lah!

I strike it out and saved $9...won't be stupid for the 2nd time.[/quote]

I did the same thing for P2 last yr & guess what? I had to rush to Popular (sch bookshop no stock) to buy the set of 2A & 2B cards for DS to use during the LAST few days of term 4!!
So it really depends on individual teachers.

Likewise for books, homework, chinese 笔记 etc...different teachers will hv different ways of doing things.
DS had to submit his 2B maths text & workbook b4 June sch hol. Guess teacher didn't want them to learn in advance & feel bored in class.

So it will b v confusing if u tried to check w other classes. If really urgent, try calling sch to check w teachers directly (leave a msg w the admin) if they hv yet to give out their email addresses or just write a note to teacher in handbook (DS still doesn't receive his yet. ).

re: food donation

we can't bring them on Kids' behalf? i was going to do it on fri.

Hi dombry, juz call the school admin this afternoon regarding the donation issue. She replied that P1 newies can pass their donation to their teacher.

thanks. i also called n office told me parents can bring it in. was asking my DS what to bring n he insisted that teacher said not compulsory during assembly yesterday. think DS is afraid to bring to wrong place. will do for him.

re:timetable
dun Hav any problems but surprised that there are so many differences between classes. if same teacher teaches 2 or more subjects, will teacher inform Kids beforehand the subject will be switched?

also when is the handbook going to be issued?

Re: usually teachers will inform class if need to bring books that r different from time-table.

Re food donation:
Was it so early last yr? Things hv yet to settle down (the bookshop Q is so long & teachers r requesting for outstanding books/items), DS is bringing tons of books for submission today & tomo. Yet food donation drive now? :siao:
