Thanks Astee! Do you have any news of the dinner on 17?


Hi Ninjago, Beauty and concern_mum,
DS2 is in 1Hope class. Too bad can’t be same class as Ninjago’s DD. don’t think the school practice first come first serve for class allocation, DS1 registered for 2CS and got in 1C while DS2 registrpered under 1A and got in 1H :-).

Orientation tomorrow. I am sure the kids will be excited. Hope they like what they see in their class :-).

Hi all,


Just received notice from school intel new school hour. Next year, the school will start at 7:45am and ends at 1:45pm (yippee!). Recess for P1, 3 & 5 will be on 9:45am (10:15am for P2, 4 & 6). There will be a 15 mins Power Break at 12:15am (12:30am for others). However, one thing does not change is the lunch hour is still at 30 mins. So CCA and remedial classes will start at 2:15pm and ends at 3:45pm. It is a better timing next year. However, I still hope that the school can consider a longer lunch break like 45mins so that the children can have proper lunch.

Hi hi rejoice. Ya the P1 kids all in diff class - then cannot talk about homework ha ha. The other way of forming P1 class could be start from the last class for earlier registration so Hope is the first class.

A bit disappointing that lessons can't start earlier so must teach my DS to do silent reading - else he might be busy 'socialising'.

Hi Ninjago,


Haha, think we can still discuss term test, learning journey, school programs and CCA from time to time.

I don’t mind the later school start hours. At least DSs can have a few more minutes of sleep or more time for a proper breakfast at home. Hahaha.

Enjoy the orientation tomorrow all the P1 parents.

Hi Rejoice,


I am a little confused here, please enlighten. You mentioned Power Breaks for 15mins, where does the lunch hour fit in??

I heard my children said can buy tickets for the anniversary dinner.

Now i am oversea for work, so have not received any forms on above all.

Regards,
astee

Hi Astee,


Lunch break is from 1:45pm to 2:15pm if there is CCA or remedial or enrichment class. 15min power break is at 12:15pm before school dismissal at 1:45pm. So more breaks for the kids and no more compulsory lunch at school four out of five days! So Astee, you can have lunch with your two little lunch kakis next year:-). :rahrah:

Hi Rejoice, thanks for the update in the new timings. Guess the queues will be very long during recess as 3 levels are having it at the same time. The P1 blur sotongs may not have enough time to eat. Hopefully my DD can adjust to the routine of eating lunch late. She is in 1Aspire. Registration number is 200+. So I think the allocation of classes is simply random.

Hi Beauty,


I normally let DS has light breakfast at home (a cup of milk with small piece of cake or bread). Then I will pack him more proper breakfast ( sandwich with box milk) to eat during recess. With the packed breakfast, he is able to eat finish with some spare time to go library or "shopping";). I think i might pack them a banana or snack bar for the power break to last them till 2pm before lunch :-).

During the first week of school, the P1 kids will be buddied with a P4 or P5 student during recess time. The bigger buddy will teach and help the new comer buy food at canteen or supervise them when they play at the playground. So rest assured that they are well taken care of.

I really looking forward to the new school year next year even before this school term ended, haha. I am sure DS2 will enjoy going to school with DS1.

Hi rejoice,


After reading what your boy has taken for breakfast every morning, I realised that my gal is eating very little. :sad:

My gal will only have a glass of milk in the morning and declared that she is full. There is no way I can force her to eat more. Wonder how can I entice her to consume more than a glass of milk during breakfast time. Any tips to share?

[rejoice137]

Hi Cmun,


Haha. That is DS1. He has an adult appetite Most day he eats as much as me if not more. DS1 did not eat as much when he was in P1. DS2 eats only half of DS1 most of the time except for fruits, haha. So don't be too worry if your gal not eating enough. Just make sure she has balance diet. If you want her to eat other solid food, may be you can reduce the amount of milk and get her something she likes to eat? I think once she goes P1, her appetite may grow due to the many activities she is in and the attention she needs will make her hungry . You can still pack food for her for recess. May be eating with her new friends at school will help her to eat more. Don't try to force her to eat as it will make her dislike eating. As long as she is healthy and does not pick on her food, I would think she should be fine:-).
