By the way, would like to check with fellow parents as to when will they know which CCA they are assigned to. Is it next week?
.

Have the JH1s already put in their CCA preferences? Is it still CAFE this year?

Perhaps, since the school had their own shed of canoes there I think.

Very early for CAFE to start, but heard there's a different approach this year.

My daughter lost nearly three water bottles last year. Each time too she claimed someone took them but one day I decided to visit the lost and found myself.... found her three water bottles there. There were so many others there too from nice nikes to camelbaks and siggs all left unclaimed and wondering if there are tons of parents like myself running out to get yet another waterbottle. other things like tons of pencil cases and books too! I have got her to write her name & label on her last bottle with her class and they are labelled but they don't get returned to her class automatically.


I really don't think other kids will steal bottles. I mean like there is usually like saliva and teethmarks on bottles of another kid there. don't think i want another bottle that has been sucked on by another kid..... eew.

Prangs maybe the other case. I have seen kids kicking a water bottle off a road before. probably dropped by some other kid and it was a sigg some more. parents hard earned money down the drain.....

[quote=\"Dnls_mum\"]Yesterday's orientation activity for DS was kayaking. He had a great time but there was a little incident that disturbed me a little. DS said that he was one of the last to pick up his bag after the activity because he helped to carry the canoes/kayaks for keeping. When he came back, his water bottle was missing, but bag still around. It was a Nike water bottle. I'm just curious, is it common in NJC for simple but obviously branded things to be stolen? He has been in Nanyang Primary and has this water bottle for years. Never occured to us that someone will steal a water bottle, but then maybe it is Nike, and it is a very different environment now. I think we must have been in a very protected environment in Nanyang.

My elder boy had left his wallet in the toilet more than once. Everytime it was picked up n sent to the GO. No money lost.

That's good. Hopefully DS's experience is isolated. To lose a water bottle that is in a bag is just so unbelievable.....[/quote]

no necessity for aqua shoes. an old pair of canvas shoes should suffice.; as long as it does not fall off during the capsize drill.
