Parents of Y1,

How's everything?
Dd complained very tired and luckily not much homework at this moment.

Yes, not much home work (teachers gave them time to complete most of them in school) but I do see the math, english & CL homework quite challenging/interesting (quite high standard in my opinion).

My son is motivated to go to school everyday, likely due to new environment & friends.

He slept on Mon & Wed (Tue & Fri CCA - no time to sleep) soon not long after reaching home indicated he is tired, not an hr sleep, it was like 3 hrs. He don't sleep in afternoon during in Pri school life.

Y1 parents,

Have you kid settled his/her CCA?
Mine could not make it in many sports...

My son in table tennis team. This year about 20 Y1 join TT. The coach has selected the Group C school team for upcoming competition.

This present team is very motivated & they start training even before coach arrives at 8am Sat. They also requested to train beyond 11am (official release time) but the coach wants them to rest as they have been training very hard on Tue & Fri already.

Hope their passion can help them push thru' in the competition.

Any parents kids in the TT team to share more about their previous achievement?

[Belle2011]

Thanks Tays for sharing.

On Fri, dd has diagnostic test for english. Her class will be starting with physics. She has relief chinese teacher but the "real" teacher will come this Mon. So I guess her chinese homework will come thereafter. So far for geo & history, the students have been asked to write a brief intro about themselves.

Today dd's CL teacher left and a new relief teacher took over. Is the turnover rate of teachers high ?

This CL teacher is from China & quitted after 2 days of teaching (just started her teaching career in Sin) citing unable to cope with the weather/environment, what a joke!

Yeah, really a joke. She should have \"done her homework\" first by recce-ing the school and environment before committing. Anyway, good that she leaves now, better than leaving in mid term.
