HI itsjustme,


I’m not sure coz my girl will only be attending the maths class in coming January 2013, but i do have good impression on the teacher as he seems to be enthusiastic in teaching the kids. Maybe u can go to the RC on and talk to the teacher and understand more.

Btw, your DS so far only have home tutor? any other tuition class?

Hi Felicia,


Thanks, I'll buy my girl normal white socks then. :imcool:

It's definitely not an easy decision on your part to be a sahm & I can empathise with the sacrifice & struggle. However, this may only be a transitional arrangement. You could consider returning to work when your children are older. After school care is a good option if you can find one which is convenient with minimal travelling time. As for tuition, it's quite common that parents can't teach their own children...so no worries at all. :rahrah:

Oh yes, did you buy the A3 art bag eventually? The one I saw at Popular is around $6+ which is about the same price as what the school bookshop offers. Really not sure if there's a need to buy the art bag or not. Maybe, kiv 1st.

HI FairyP,
As per my earlier post, the A3 art bag was sold @ $4.90 during the Popular Sale at expo. So i have brought one during that time. Even if school does not need it, i will use it for my kids art paper as they like to do coloring.

Today i was trying to sewn the name tag, and my sewing skill is terrible. Hope it dont look too ugly on my girl's uniform. Btw any idea, name tag also need to sewn on the PE shirt?

Hi Queen,


Didn't hear from you for quite a while...can check with you on the following?
(i) Do we need to sew name tag on PE t-shirt?
(ii) Does P1 require use of the A3 art bag?
(iii) Normal white socks for PY can or is PY strict to enforce logo type?

Thanks

Hi qq_guy,

Didn't see your posts lately too. Bought uniform & books for your kid already? :evil:

Hi Felicia,

I'm seeking Queen's help to advise on the name tag part. Hopefully, either Queen or the other PY parents who see our post can assist too

As a last resort, I'll be going to PY next Mon to buy uniform & collect books. Will check with them if need be & let you know :imcool:

Hi Felicia09,


thanks for your suggestion. I'll go down to have a look.

I only tried 1 to 1 tuition thus far as my belief is that my DS can get the attention of the tutor. But apart from his current Maths tutor that does helps him to improve, the same can't be said about his other tutors. I'll take a look and properly also the other tuition centre nearby.

hi itsjust me,
can advise what is the rate per mth for 1-1 maths tuition?
the teacher is part time or full time? can share more? i m interested to know.
btw can i know does the kids' PE shirt ned to sewn the name tag as well?

[itsjustme]

I paid 40 an hour for this maths tutor after recommendation from my sis. throughout my 2 years, i have tried afew tutors ranging from 15-25 an hour and non of them seems to work, hence I’ve decided to trust someone who is more better qualified.


For the PE shirt, my DS class doesn’t need to but i saw students from other class have their names sewn on. I am not quite sure if its needed. May I suggest you to wait for school to reopen and check with the form teacher or something.

Hi parents


You may wish to refer to the student handbook on pg 8 and 9 regarding the nametag on uniform and PE shirt. Hope this helps.

Hi Fairy

I have been busy for the past week after the orientation.
Yes I have bought the uniforms and order via online for the textbooks and the stationery. Infact I bought all items on the book list. As for the uniform, I bought 3sets of skirt and shirt. For PE short and shirt, I bought 2sets, as recommanded from the shop seller. I ve ask them abt the name tag, they say just need to be iron on the shirt instead of PE shirt. The name tag can be iron,but the shop seller say can sew on it as well to have double protection. As for the socks, I bought 3pairs from PY since I m there to buy the uniform. I also bought 2pairs of white shoe from Bata. The school bag I bought from kinder Fun at united sq,SPI brand,my friend recommand to me,as it support the children's back. So you have bought everything?

My gal just join the student care on Dec,so far so good,my gal is enjoying it. As now is school holiday,so lots of program for the kids.

I have also bought some assessment book for my gal last week, as popular is having a 20%sales. I aso apply a popular card for myself in order to get more disc,as my gal can only apply when she got a student card from sch.

So how's ur gal in the student care, you have enrol her in the DEC holiday?

3more weeks to countdown. Looking forward for the days to come.Dun noe how's the school life going to be for the kids. Ha..

Hi qq guy,


Really nice to hear from you. Wow, you have bought a lot & so have I. :evil: Similar to you, I've purchased 3 sets of uniform & 2 sets of PE attire yesterday & also finished sewing all the name tags cum iron for double protection

PY only uses a handwriting book for P1 English. Personally I find it inadequate. Will be supplementing my girl with the Grammar book I bought. As for student care, my girl will start when school reopens. She wants to sleep more ie wake up later during the school holidays. Since I'm clearing leave these 2 weeks, we have both planned for some activities. Will be bringing her to Toa Payoh Safra's Kidz Amaze this week

Oh yes, which class is yr child in? Mine assigned to Integrity (orange house) :rahrah:

Do come to this thread more often if possible. Keep in touch :boogie:

Hi Felicia,

I've checked with the General Office. Must sew the name tag to the PE t-shirt

Oops Felicia, I've picked the wrong emoticon. My pick is actually


Sorry, fingers too fat & I'm not used to typing using iPad. So much faster to reply using my office laptop.

Have a great day ahead
