Club 2005 Kids

[Kissgurami]

Mawar:

My kids used to have playgroups when they were younger. When they stepped into primary school, the group sort of disbanded but the mummies still keep in touch. So it has evolved into a girlfriends' corner.

:hi5: it also evolves into mummy gathering also

Well, just to share with you, my daughter is now in Primary 2 in TKPS. I placed her there for the very fact I was hoping there was a fair mix of foreign students so that she would not feel out of place. As much as she is Chinese on the outside, she is thoroughly an Australian on the inside, that you might even find some strains of Vegemite in her.


She is generally a caring child and has always placed those around her first. She is confident and has no difficulty talking to adults. The major gripe I have about her is that she is a tomboy, she loves running around and talking and laughing loudly.

I feel sometimes her extrovert behaviour might be a conflict with other children here. That is why I am looking to have a playgroup for her here.

Ok, my DDs are chatty :oops: and tend to laugh insanely at times (outside of school) so not sure how it will help coz they are extroverts themselves.


They behave in school as in being disciplined but hell does break loose at home with loud laughing and playing catching :skeptical:

They have similar friends, I know coz there are always birthday parties where I get random questions from her friends and some of them attend the same student care so they just talk about their day etc.

Welcome to the club! :shock: to learn all your dd classmates are introvert. I wish dd n her classmates can be introverts too.. Then the FT will release them on time for sch dismissal rather than keep them in the classroom due to too much noise..

school holidays round the corner le… any plans?

[Kissgurami]

Snoopy, that is true also. Dd1 has loud classmates so their recess gets cut short but that is just the discipline portion. In terms of social, the ones who do get alienated are girls who bully and are rude.


Jadekungfu, your girl sounds normal. Does she speak Mandarin by the way?

By the way, you don’t need singlish to integrate that is more of us adults hahaha

Though it just occur to me that maybe the manner she speaks is something which her classmates can’t get used to? Or the slang?

I have a UK-ian other half (joke, he is a British) so certain humour or slang gets lost on dds and myself.

Ya but I think another reason is that they are not at the main building anymore so the walking to the side gate also take up some of the time ba..
