michyms, I love cakes & pastries but not my elder DD. She’s a huge fan of rice though. Yes, DD’s caregiver cooks dinner for hubby and I. We reckon, DD will be hungry so thought it’ll be good to give her dinner straight away rather than a snack and risk her not eating dinner later. That was what happened to my nephew last year. He’ll take something while on his way home and by then won’t be able to eat his dinner.


U were allowed to ride in the sch bus with DD? That’s very nice of the driver. It was a no no for the Yishun bus.

Hi Gorilla.


Yeah, that thought also crossed my mind when my daughter goes into thee morning session. Rather than having the school bus pick her up at such early hours, I’m hoping by then I should be able to send her to school instead and have the bus drop her off at home.

Glad to hear that you got alternative mode of transportation for your daughter.

Hi Gorilla, thanks for reply. My dd is rather shy and is always waiting for others to make the first move :-(. Thanks for getting your dd to befriend her, I will encourage her to mix around with frens. I understood some kids starting arts CCA soon… I have not heard anything from teacher about acceptance of CCA, have you?

KSMum, I'm always 'jia you-ing'!

SP Mum, told my DD to mix around instead of just sticking to her partner. Hence her mission to find out the names of her other classmates! According to the letter, CCA is supposed to start this week but I’ve not heard of anything.


Which CCA did your DD choose? Mine chose both gym and dance

i received the CCA letter (Art) tonight only to be informed that CCA will commerce tomorrow. It did not provide info on list of items needed.


Did anyone receive CCA letter as well?

1 important note in the CCA letter - Student who drop out of their specialized CCA within the school year or absent without valid reason will be captured and reflected in their holistic report card.

CCA in my school times used to be fun and stressed free. Quite puzzled why CCA in marymount has to be talent scouting or go thru auditions.

I did not receive CCA letter tonight.. My dd wants to join rhythmic gymnastics so I chosen that for her. Does this mean she is not selected?

Hi LLX04,


I too received the CCA letter dated 5 January 2012only this evening. Tennis starts at 10.30am and ends at 12 noon. How is my dd going to have her lunch? She has only 15 minutes to get to Assembly time. Definitely no time to freshen up and change or even have lunch. What more, it falls on the same day as 2 periods of Mass PE and 4 periods of Modular Cirriculum .
