Hi,


I have called the school. Velcro straps for school shoes ok. Just have to be white.

Have a few other questions.
Saw in booklist got science book for Pri 1. I assume that sceince, health, social studies etc I have to buy as no long as it didn't state its non-compulsory?

I am on a tight budget so got to seek some advice.
Socks - only state S, M, L : Any mummies can advise the size? I tried calling the bookstore but nobody picked up. The general office can't help me on this question.

Also I saw in the art section, they need 36 colours for oil pastals, i assume its crayons? Is it necessary to buy if I already have existing 24 colours. Sigh. I know it sounds silly but doing the sums just for the text books, uniforms etc adds up to a scary sum and i don't want to waste if not necessary to buy.

Thanks for helping.

Hi everyone


The letter states that on PE days, the boys will have to wear their PE attire to school and they have to change into their uniforms after PE.
Can any parents advise if they should pack their uniform in their school bags (which will be crumple by then) or they should wear their uniform together with the PE attire?

Many thanks!

Hmmm......So far, during PE days the boys just wear their PE attire and never change to uniform after PE lesson.

1. I don't buy those non-complusory items.

2. My DS wear normal white sock without school logo.

3. Crayons and oil pastals are different, but you may have him bring the crayons until the arts teacher ask him to buy since we have no idea if oil pastal is a must for art lesson

Hello jheng,


Thank you. I took your advice and didn't buy those art stuff that I don't need. Will buy when the teacher ask. Didn't buy the socks too.

Thanks for helpful advice.

may i know Title of this P1 Science textbook and workbook ? Thanks.

does the school teach P1 Science (ie. give P1 pupils a headstart in Science subject, to prepare & give them exposure ahead for P3 Science later on) during Term time normal curriculum hours, or expect CH parents to teach their P1 child Science at home (ie. read like a storybook), using this book ?

do current 2012 P1 students also have Science, or only wef 2013 P1 pupils ?

Hi, jfyi… the name tags are already in the bookshop.

A friend went this week to submit the name for the name tag. But it was already in a pack and she just paid and collected. Called me and asked me for my son’s name and collected for me too…

Title of P1 (and P2) Science book: Eureka Science.

The teacher uses the book to teach Science during curriculum hours. The concepts taught are simple and can be easily understood by a P1 kid. It teaches basic science that you see in daily life.

Yes, Science has been taught to P1s in the previous years.

Hope that helps!
