Gin, that sounds bad. I just spent the entire night coaching dd for the hypy spelling… I haven’t seen maths 1.5 yet… Dd has brought home only up to 1.4.

Tinkerbelle, there was a letter about the single session and wearing of costumes for the P1 kids... perhaps they forgot to give to other levels?


CNY costumes - does it necessarily have to be ethnic or can it simply be any type of dress etc? All my dd told me is that teacher says cannot wear spaghetti straps.

Hi michyms,
Good to hear newsletters have been given out to P1 to inform them of the single session & CNY costume. Guess the sch is cutting cost this yr in view of sch upgrading so no newsletters for the upper pri gals. :evil:

For CNY costumes, it doesn't necessarily have to be ethnic costumes. You can wear anything as long as it's not too revealing or too short. No high heels allowed.

Gin:

12 pages of Maths Homework and 1 poem one night before they have to wake up early in the morning for school. My girl is just finishing them!

Hi Gin,

Good morning everyone! DD managed to finish her Homework last night. She went to bed at about10.45pm though. Woke her up at 6.30am this morning. She was very tired but thank God she did not complain about it. Will let her take a long nap this afternoon. I do pity kids in Singapore. Not much can be said of their childhood. Everything is done in a rush. They feel the 'rat race' already at such a young age.


One thing I thank God for - her Form teacher who responds promptly to queries and concerns my DH and I have.

The workload that teachers have here in is incredible. Kudos to all teachers, including all mummies and daddies!

yes, today was early. i felt as if i was back in school! i dread p3 when they all start in the morning, that means we also have to wake up earlier to prepare their stuff.

[Gin]

ohdaddy,


Yes, the morning shift begins at p3 :). It is deja vu for me. My dd1 is already 23 this year, however, it was quite different then. She was in international schools as we were overseas. School started at 8.30am then.

Good Morning All!


Gin, that's quite a fair bit of homework! My DD was given hw but all to be handled on Wed. Phew! At least the girls would have the afternoon to relax!

Traffic was super heavy this morning! Can't imagine what it's gonna be like later.

Think all of us are eagerly waiting for the Parents Briefing on 3/2. It's been a rather chaotic start

Wishing all prosperous year of the Dragon! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
