I heard that some of the gals in her class has CCA as well - Choir, Tennis.

Aiyo, these hv more days to stay back ... so poor thing! And for us (FT wking parents), it's a logistic nightmare!

Cowgraz, our gals are in the same class then. She has Dance Club that requires her to stay till 530-545pm twice a week. I was so glad that she did not sign up for Choir last year - sure burnt us all out.

I hope to keep my daughter away from CCA until it is compulsory.
Last year P1, she had to stay back twice a week for remedial. If she has CCA as well, that means she will hardly be at home.

I am in holiday mood...don't know why the school isn't giving half day...best part of all, remedial still goes on :faint:

Yes, I tried emailing the form teacher to start enrichment a week later … but it was not successful. Feel sorry for her as many pple wld already been in Holiday Mood. Sigh I think I’m now "blacklisted" by the Tr for being a bothersome mother!!!

I cannot understand why remedial cannot start next week...my son will be dismissed at 1030am on Fri. Daughter not only doesn't have early dismissal but remedial as well on both days :yikes:
Anyway, I've informed both teachers daughter will start remedial next wk as this week I'm busy with urgent errands and have logistic prob picking her.

Dear parents,

Any one knows about this book "essential fiction" for P3s. The Tr asked for it but it’s not part of the booklist. Search all the web still no idea!

Thanks for anyone who knows.

My gal asked me too, and I showed her the booklist that it was not stated at all. Information abt the book also very vague..no publisher, author etc. I told my gal to get more info from teacher..or better still get teacher to order for the class.

Aiyo, vague requests like this and last minute cancellation of the Math enrichment y’day is really irritating me! Shows lack of planning and IMO, the girls at this age, want to be independent and need the environment and support to grow their self esteem.


This is really not helping as they feel the lack of control - being shuffled abt between Mummy and Tr/school requirements, much as they try to get things done. I know my girl and some of her friends went to the book shop, who also said they don’t know what the book is.

For 2 days now, I’ve asked my girl to get more information fr the Tr!
