Which day is spelling? -
Spelling is every Tuesday.
Was given a science fair catalogue also. Dun think I’m gonna let him buy anything.
Hahaha… -
Aiyo! Never ending magazines/story books/supplementary materials/enrichments to apply for.
And my son is still refusing to read. HELP! -
Hi,
My nephew is from P1 Sincerity. He is happy with school and has been telling me about his day since he spent most of his time at my house. Maybe I can share what happened the last week.
He takes school bus home and eveything was fine initially until he was pushed off the seat and ended with a scar on his forehead plus some nail marks on his body. Of course another incident was the same boy pulled his hair and refused to let go until his other friends helped him out. I told him not to sit next to this boy in future and not to play on the bus.
just last fri, his mum gave him $5 to buy his sch diary. But he accidentally dropped it and the wind blew it a distance away. He ran to pick it up but a bigger boy picked it before he could reach and refused to return it to him. This makes me wonder how is the discipline in school.
My nephew is a tall boy but timid and shy esp when it comes to speaking english cos he is not fluent in it. But am suprised that after 2 weeks of sch, he actually order his own food at MacDonald!
Though taking up Art Expression but he is eyeing to join Badminton. There’s a trial this Fri. -

There is no need to buy all magazines, story books etc. I only buy those magazines the teacher says need to buy. Think chinese \"hao peng you\" and enrichments which the sch suggests - think there was a chinese one conducted during lessons, Percussion instruments one for music, and maths extra workshop, computer typing for P1 last year. I can't remember if there is anything for English. It's just the beginning of the year as such lots of these stuff for admin matters.
This year, my son wanted to get the Story Box and Adventure Box - so since he requested I said ok. But those are expensive. Sigh.. but let him be as long as he wants to read. He is a bookworm.
Don't worry about your son not wanting to read - might improve slowly. Think you will be more worried if he can't read. -

My son is in 1 SIY too. I'd be concerned if that happened to him. The bullying could cause long term impact.. And the part where the bigger boy took his money is just plain hooliganism. Can he recognize the boy? Should inform the teachers. If he can do it so blatantly to your nephew, he will do it to anyone. Should report him and save the rest of his would be victims.
Badminton is by external contractor and have to pay right?? My son was interested too but I can't make it.. My other son got soccer practice. -
yes kaka2, I agree. Please ask your nephew to inform the teacher about the incident the next time something like this happens. Then they can act on it immediately. Ask him must remember the boy’s name from the name tag on the uniform. If don’t know the class never mind. But must remember the face too. Then at least the school will be able to run through the name list to find the kid as well. This is the 1st time I am hearing of something like this happening. Am really shocked. Then again this should be investigated to ensure its authenticity just in case the story was made up as your nephew was afraid of getting a scolding coz he lost the money.
My son’s previous experiences with the older boys have been pleasant; they have been kind to him showing him around the school and even assisting him and bringing him to the general office when he fell and hurt himself. -

Yea... Never ending list.. Not going to buy anything unless compulsory. After morning star, Makan, no time for much anyway..Aiyo! Never ending magazines/story books/supplementary materials/enrichments to apply for.
And my son is still refusing to read. HELP!
Feel a bit guilty but then not like gonna read anything so it will be money wasted anyway.. -
Agree. Every week there must be something for us to buy.
I just buy the things which are needed.
Morning Star mummies, do you check your son's homework when they are back?
