But they have the P5s to guide them to the hall…so no problems I hope…

jkids:
but is buddy system a norm in all schs now?

My DDs school still practise the buddy system and it will last for one month. Parents are allowed to watch their kid in the canteen for the 1st 2 days only.

It coincidental that both my DDs are having the same recess time (9.30am to 10.00am) and My P1 DD2's buddy? :evil: ----------My P4 DD1! 😂

Can’t go in and buy food nor sit with the child, coz the canteen would be waaaaaaay too crowded!


The buddies will show your child how to buy food and get the correct change if any.

Have confidence, your child will be fine. The more anxious you are, the more nervous your child will be and hence less confident of his or her own ability.

some schools only first day

some schools only first 2-3 days

They call it \"Observe your child at recess\" 😄
