Hi all,


I had a "tiring" week as I fell ill with flu & fever since 30 Dec, and just recovered yesterday. DS2 was OK at school too but its the school bus arrangement as we had a new bus operator.

DS2 boarded the bus at 1105am, got to school by 1215hrs, but school bus reached home at Toh Guan at 8pm !!! there were few more kids in the bus. Poor kids. DS2 knocked out right after dinner and shower. In bed by 845pm… in future got homework how? I gotta assure him that these are hiccups on first few days only. Today, it got better, reached at 735pm… but we are still gonna feedback to the school. Overall, he enjoyed the school and his class and that’s what matters most.

Have a good rest this weekend, parents… for next week they are alone ( without buddies )…

Thats pretty late! Is it normal to spend an hr or more in school bus? or traffic condition and distance plays a huge part? I feel schools should restrict size of bus and no of kids in each bus, so traveling time will be decreased considerably.

Sweet baby, it's normal. The bus driver said he may cut down some routes, but we may have to fork out more to cover his loss.... Sigh.

Oh dear. How early did your older boy leave for school everyday?

[jedamum]

Oh dear. My boy does not seem to enjoy school. He said a lot of time spent sitting down in the hall to listen to talks about school rules. He gets restless easily and because so far he can control his behavior in school, he acts up at home, demanding attention from me. His favourite period is recess! Lol.

I hope it gets better when lesson starts next week.

Silverhorse. Your older boyvery independent.I am just starting to train mine.not that he is not capable. But just my heart not strong enough to let go yet! Lol ! And I can still recall the grandparents reaction when they found out that I instructed him to go downstairs to buy lunch during holidays.

Hi Jedamum

Think it's quite normal for children to demand more attn from us now because they may be \"stressed\" in one way or another due to this new phase.

My DS2 has some difficulty waking up in the morning and on the 3rd day, also did show a bit of his unhappiness. However once he reached school, he was ok. I am also hoping that it gets better when he is used to the routine.

Attended a briefing session in his school and was told that the first 3 days, no formal lesson but has to orientate the children, how to queue up, etc.

Hopefully all the P1 children will get used to the school routine soon.

Yes hifive,

He has yet to get to know his classmates. His new best friend he met on the bus is in another class. I am sure he can adapt fast, being kids. But these few days he has been coming into my bedroom in the middle of them night telling me how much he love and miss me. Then squeeze into my bed.the dad could not get a good night sleep and still need to work the next day.
So I have two cranky person at home! Lol.
