Club 2005 Kids

Not really, my neighbours tend to be on the snobbish side unfortunately.

Mawar:
:hi5: it also evolves into mummy gathering also
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. -
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..Well, just to share with you, my daughter is now in Primary 2 in TKPS.

school holidays round the corner le⦠any plans?

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 donβt 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 canβt 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. -

Dun worry too much, maybe give her some more time...observe awhile longer...
Bigsnoopy... :yikes: really? classes who released late is due to \"not so introvert\"? dd told me is due to last mins lots of classmates need to go toilet, so their class is always 10mins later...think this mama here very easy to \"sian\" leh.... -

Morning!
Yup. Not only are they at the building behind, they are actually on a higher level so need time to walk down level by level too.
My dd's classroom more worse, its at the very very corner of that level so not surprising that their FT will only rel them last lor. -

DD has ballet extra class due to exam anyway, so just sign up clay class to let her kill extra time only.
If u planning to go legoland, suggest u don't follow tour group.
Tour group will bring u there very early, but come back to fetch u only in the evening....actually don't need such a long time to stay inside, its not that big afterall....and some rides has height limit, so our little chix can't play yet. :slapshead: -

Your DD has the RAD exam in April? DD had the mock on Monday so it is ballet from Mon to wed :faint:

Keeping close to home also. Took a night in Hard Rock Hotel, DDs loved the pool and watched the Croods!
Thumbs up if anyone wants to bring their kiddies
Signed them up for Sentosa Kidz Flea also so they are raring to sell stuff :boogie:
Hopefully Oz pans out well coz there is a note to state some frightening scenes -
Also planning to check out Sentosa this week... Hope it's not going to be too crowded. :faint:
Any idea if there's free child entry to the SEA aquarium thingy?
Someone told me it was reported in the news last week... But I don't see it on google.
:? -

Mawar....Dun ask me, I really dunno. :rotflmao:
Maybe different school operate differently, ballet is enrichment instead of cca in the school....thats all I know.
The rest let dd go worry about it, I'm easy. -

DD1 had an english enrichment by her school but I skipped it this time though DD1 did feedback that she enjoyed it last year. Was thinking if not now to play, when
