Hi Deskibi & Rejoice,


My DS also lost his wallet on 7/1/13, Monday. He also lost it after recess. His buddy ask him go to general office and check. Luckily, he got it back.

Hi Rejoice,
my DS also lost his wallet yesterday. We kept his wallet in the bag as the PE short does not have a hook on it. But he cannot remember where and how he lost it. Luckily, he lost it after recess. So at least, he has eaten before losing it I only got to know he lost his wallet as the FT called me and mentioned she has found the wallet. My DS apologies to me and asked me not to scold him when I asked him where is his wallet.

I hope your DS2 will be able to find his wallet.

Will the missing wallet or coin pouch always happen when they have PE lessons?

MI5Tropper,


Yes, leaves are important to working parents, especially with school-going children.

I have a feeling that this \"Meet-The-Parent\" is not the one-to-one session that we used to attend, at the end of Term 1 and Term 3. As this session required ALL Parents to be seated by 3pm in the child's classroom, i look at it as a forum sharing session. It's also a good chance to know whom the child's FT are and what is HER VISION for the class..

Also most importantly, a chance for us parents to network with other parents of your own child's class. I find that it's useful especially if our own kid is on MC or sometimes being a \"blur sotong\" , may miss out on some details from the FT. Parents then can share with each other and update on latest happening of the class... (Personally i had benefitted from the alliances that i had formed for my DS's class.)

We are considered lucky that TGPS is holding different Parents session to allow us parents to be better informed and guided along with our child's School Learning Journey.

I had heard about schools which do not communicate or minimum communication (One PTM for whole year) with parents and left many parents guessing most of the time. :nailbite:

So if you do have enough leaves to spare, i would suggest that you attend the session, if not, probably similar to what i am doing, get some help from other parents of your child's class. I know 1G parents group is quite active too. :boogie:

Regards,
Astee

Hi P1 parents, any of yr child received the English Spelling list? I only saw the Chinese one pasted in the TB. Am thinking if my DD misplaced the EL one.

[rejoice137]

Hi Mao,


Congrats to you and bravo to your girl :rahrah: Very soon she will just say bye to you and run off by herself when you send her in the morning :-).

Hi Beauty,

Hi Beauty79,


Yes, i believe PTM is for all levels, so the parents get the chance to know their kid's 2013 FTs.

As for the SFE event, Ninjago is correct - it's for P3 to P6 parents.

@Ninjago, oh dear, hope the affected child was not too seriously hurt. Yes, kids of these schooling ages are hyper-active and some will challenge the limit. Sigh...we just have to constantly remind our DS/DD to be careful in their daily activities in school.

beauty79:

My DD is in 1A but I have not seen any PTM form or SFE form. Should I check with the school?

Hi Astee/Ninjago/beauty79,

The SFE event, is meant for all levels because I have received an email from Ms Sheryl Yee, SFE Coordinator dated 13 Jan. You may check your personal email address that you have provided to school or during the parenting talk.

Here's the message:

Dear Parents / Guardians,

I am pleased to informed you that Teck Ghee Primary School SFE is organising a Parents' Workshop on 18 January 2013, Friday at AVA room. The registration fee is S$2 per adult. If you are interested, kindly email to me your name, your child's name & class and your contact number.
Payment can be made at SFE Resource from Monday to Thursday (from 9.30 a.m. - 1.30 p.m.) or on the date of the workshop.

Title of Topic : Effective Strategies To Nourish Your Child's Potential

Speaker : Mr Cheong Heng Yuen

Date : 18 January 2013, Friday

Time : 9 a.m. to 12 noon (registration will start at 8.45 a.m.)

Fee : S$2 per adult

*Strictly for parents only.

Synopsis of the Talk :

Both nature and nurture, working together, affect all aspects of human behaviour. People often think that intelligence is determined by nature. By nature is meant what we have inherited from our parents and ancestors. Nature (or heredity) determines the range of human potential. On the other hand, nurture refers to all the things that have influenced us sincebirth. Nurture affects the ways that human potential is actualised, being helped or hindered by good or bad environmental inputs.

It is too simplistic for us to argue \"nature versus nurture\" as if they were mutually exclusive. To grasp the rich complexities of human behaviour, we should look at all behaviour through the lenses of both nature and nurture -- as they interact and work together. Nature and nurture are always intertwined. As biological organisms, our genes are always decoding informationto reconstitute our brain. But we are also affected by many of the environmental inputs that constitute \"nurture,\" in the sense that they help or hurt us in ways that the genes cannot predict or control.

In this talk, you will take away effective strategies that will help nourish your child’s potential.
