Namie, don’t be upset. We need to adjust our expectations sometimes… and early bloomers may not necessarily mean they will do well at the PSLE or in life.
My hubby’s fren’s son was a late bloomer at P5 (also Maris) and is now a brain surgeon.
Anyway, what’s so nice about the civil service unless the kid can be a minister? I want my kid to be a businessman coz that’s where the money is. hehehe
There are many roads that lead to Rome. -
Hi parents, is p1 orientation on 16 Nov. I have not received any notification on that.

Yes. It’s today. The appointment time is stated in one of the letters/forms sent to us after Registration.
My son’s class 1F is at 2pm today. -
Hi all… my son is going to p1 next yr!

I dunno if this question was asked before but how much pocket money do you give a p1 student? My cousin gave $1.50 but I realise some food in school cost $2 for a plate!!

Depending on what your DS will be buying, $1.50-$2 should be enough. I usually give him $10 a week. But my DS usually brings $1.50 to school. Occasionally when he wants to buy bottled drinks or more expensive food, he will bring $2. He likes to save up some money to buy books during bookfair in school. Anyway, don't give too much because the canteen sell snacks and your DS may end up buying snacks instead.
Btw welcome to the family.

Yes, I agree with bigfoot, dont give your DS too much. I gave my P2 DS $1.50 for recess and when he has extra class,$2 for lunch.
There is a vendor that sells ice-cream for $1.20, potato chips for $1, sweet drinks for $1.30.
The food used to be mostly around $2. However, after lots of feedback from parents, they have reduced the prices (actually,they reduced the portion). Which is fine as most P1 will not finish the whole big plate of wanton noodles, fried rice etc
Now they sell them for $1.
There are many different kinds of food selling for $1 - $1.20 . There are also many water coolers around the school. They dont need to buy drinks.
Maybe can pack food for DS as standby (kiasu) for the 1st 2 weeks if he is in P1 ... less stressful, for him & his buddy (a P4 boy will be assigned to him ). If he has a good buddy, this buddy will eat from the same stall as your boy. If he gets an impatient one.... -
my boy p2 nx yr. those p1 wkshts can throw alrdy right?
