Hi,

No need to wear sock & shoes with Rosyth logo, normal white socks & shoes will do. At least2 PE attires as Wed to Fri need to wear them. Can check their website for CCA but P1 not compulsory. Suggest don't stress yr kid too much by joining CCA in P1 as he/she needs time to settle down in the sch. Never heard of extra class, u mean remedial class right?

Start of 2014. Moving is done at end of year during the school hols so that the new year starts in the school compound with little disruption.

I would recommend 3 sets of PE attire to cater for all the 3 school days that require PE attires and in case of rainy days. 2 sets of school uniform will do.

Hi, my son is attending Rosyth P1 next year.

I am new at this. Not sure what pri sch education is like. Need lots of advice.
Not in education industry n one of those lucky ones who sailed thru sch during my time. And still doing higher learning n taking exams/assessments next year, so trying to prepare psychologically n time management for an utterly stressful year.
What is the time-table like? How long is each lesson?
Are the lessons mostly sit down or hands-on?
How big are the classes?
What are the P1 teachers like? My son challenges his kindergarten teachers a lot, but not sure if its acceptable in pri sch.
What is recess time like?
Does someone help the kids buy food or get packed food or they hv to bring food from home? Is there anyone to watch over the kids?
When is the orientation?
Do I get a syllabus and the schedule for assessments for the whole years' work?
Thanks a lot in advance!

The timetable is different for every class, so I also do not know about the schedule. Each lesson is 30 minutes long, and I think p1 classes are mostly sitting down. My DS is in p5 GEP, and the mainstream classes he knows of have about 40 pupils each. Should be same for p1. Recess time is also 30 min long.

P1 class size is 30. Only from P3 onwards class size is 40.
There will be an orientation sometime in Oct / Nov for the P1 kids. Also, when school open in the new year, there will be 3 days of initial hand-holding cum orientation for the P1 kids. They will have buddies (probably P3 kids) bringing them to recess and teaching them how to buy food. The class teacher and buddies will also bring them around the school compound. Recess is \"free time\" so there is no exact person watching over them except for the first 2-3 days when the teachers will do so.
Syllabus will be according to textbooks, and for English, it is stellar programme (and will be given workbooks which teacher will teach in class). If the kids finish work earlier, they are allowed to go and read at the reading corner of the classroom. Schedule for tests, assessment etc. will only be posted every term. Lower primary is usually easy and should not pose a problem for most kids.

Hi awhuang,

Thanks for the informations on the shoes and uniforms.
I thought CCA is more on non-academic aspect of school life? I think my boy will have more fun than stress during CCA where he will get to know more friends and the new environment?
Just thinking good to spend more time on enjoying CCA before the work load goes up on upper level.

Understand from the letter, extra class organize by PTA so I would think not referring to remedial class. So wondering what extra classes are they.
