Fabbymum:

BTW, any mummy here with child in P1.6? Just wanted to check as we could share more threads here


Thanks,
Fabbymum.

Hi Fabbymum, my DD is in P1.6 too!
We can share info in future!:)

Hi p1 mommies.


Just wanna share some nuggets of info my boy shared with me.
Glad that he was chatty about school today.
Usually I have to keep asking him and not much details come out.
Anyway, I also take some of the things he tell me with some measure of salt since he may not remember the things as they exactly happened.

- in the hall, the teachers will tell them 'cross your legs', and children will respond 'and sit up straight'

- he seems to be doing mostly drawing and he says he's 'busy' in class

- he happily told me that he spoke Mandarin to a friend on the school bus, and that he used Mandarin in class. ( he is quite a 'kentang')

- he still can't remember his friends' names

- when I asked him what is the happiest moment today, he says recess time

- when I asked him what is the saddest moment today, he says none

- they have to stand up and bow and greet teachers at the start of each class. He was laughing in amusement showing me how he bowed. I had to remind him to take it seriously

- he says he likes the school song but cannot remember how to sing it. And that the school song can be found at the back of the pupil's handbook

That's about all. Hope he continues to share his day with me.

Wow! Lilipitz, your son shared a lot indeed! Good to hear this from him!


Let me share some from my little Fab:

1. In the school hall, they were asked to bring one story book everyday. Simply because, while waiting for 1230 hrs, any student who comes early are required to sit down and read their book...- I like this idea.

2. My son mentioned that the toilet is clean, but in the canteen, there is no handsoap for washing! He is so used to having his hands cleaned properly before and after meal...he asked me to get a lawyer to tell the school!!! :rotflmao:

3. Food can be purchased from the school canteen next week onwards, this week, they had all catered food if they choose to eat in the canteen.

4. His class teacher will be choosing a class monitor and class leader very soon...he thought it was so cool to be one. But to us, it doesn't matter...as long as he enjoys schooling.

Hope to share more next week when they are more settled down

Fabbymum.

Fabbymum,

Your son is so cute to think of getting a lawyer to address the handsoap issue.

Hi!


Heard from a parent last week that there was a Chinese test last week. 50 marks. Think it’s for streaming them for their Chinese class.

[Belinng]

There is streaming for CL every year, for P1(Based on the chinese test mention by Greenbelt) after that will be based on the yearly results. The school does not have an overall best class to the weakest classes for other subjects until P5 when they have the national subject banding in P4.

Hi fabbymum, think it is the stellar handwriting book. My son is in 1.4

Hi taurbear,

My gal is in 1.4 too. Finally found a mummy with kid in same class.

Gd mo mummies,


my dd said there is no lesson so far. In her class, teacher only ask them to read storybook and drawing.
Is it true?

[lilipitz]

Hi. My boy (1.5) says the same thing.


he says he's busy with drawing in class

he is sad that he has to miss PE lessons thus far. He says those taking school bus home have to assemble in the hall at 5.30pm thus missing PE lessons.

his very first math homework was to complete writing 1 to 10 on successive pages in the exercise book and drawing the corresponding number of items. Zzzzzz

I don't see any work being done in the workbooks and activity books. The handbook/pupil's diary is also blank except for where parents fill in details at first page.

maybe it's the first week or so, that's why?

[Twinklesss]

Yup… My boy in 1.2 also didn’t say much abt work in school… Maybe really because it is only beginning?
