Oops!I forgot to mention the 1A books are the activity books and also she MUST have a reading book(story book)NO comics in her bag at all times.Last year on Tues and Thurs they had to have a MT reading book.I got my girl to have a MT book in her bag on all days.Noit easy asking a 6-7 year old to remember to bring her MT reading book only on those 2 days.They can’t read their textbooks too(except during exam period)

Hello Ming, I didnt go to school with my dd at all during her first day of P1 in 2009. I just sent her off at the void deck where she boarded the school bus and crossed my fingers she turn up there at the right place.

Me and dh went there during recess time to see her and she just smiled and waved at us. Anyway the principal already assured us during the orientation that there be ample teachers and pvs on hand to guide any lost kids during the first day so I guess we just left it to their hands.

Dear Luanee,

Many thanks for your sharing.

I stay quite far from RGPS and my girl will need to spend at least 1 hour on the school bus (pickup time at 11.30am). A bit worried on whether she will take to the long travelling journey well.

Like what you did, I will also be there during the 1st 3 days I guess. Have already taken leave.

Remembered you mentioned before that your girl is in P1H this year. Mine has also been assigned to 1H. Any idea if the form teachers remains the same or they follow the P1 class to P2 next year ?

Thanks.

Rgds,
Ming

Dear gr2knc,

Thank you for the necessary information.

Does it mean its English reading book for Mon, Wed, Fri and MT reading book for Tues & Thurs ?

Thought of emailing the form teacher assigned to ask about more specifics. Any feedback on their response time in general ?

Ming, do remember to pack something like biscuits or a drink for DD SPECIFICALLY for the ride home or she'd be hungry :love: . Agree with Luannee, no issues for first 3 days - felt like a caged animal watching over her recess time :!: .

RGPS is very organized. The PV's are already galvanized and they work like clockwork.

Thanks Ming

you made me feel better that the school bus pick up and drop of time for my girl is a \"norm\" considering the traffic condition. I have already arranged for her to take the school bus now

Thanks mommies for sharing your experience on what to bring for the 1st day. Happy New Year and let's all wish that our dds enjoy a rewarding year in RGPS!

Dear Andaiz,

Thanks for your pointer thought of packing food for recess time, however, have overlooked on preparing some snacks for the bus ride home !
