I received the note from school on Friday and I see a list of CCAS. It states cca starts from p3 but I see swimming for p2? Any information from mummies here?

Hi mummyofone,
CCAs are not compulsory for the students though strongly encourage for P3 to P5 kids. Hence the school does not given out enronment form for P1 and P2 students. However, if you think your kid will be interested in any CCA, you can request the enronment form from the general office, fill it up and submit it. You can also ask to talk to the teacher-in-charge of the CCA to get more information.

Good to see so many P1 parents here in the forum. It will take a while for the child to get to the 'big' school environment and routine. So at the meantime, parents don't be stress, help and guide your child along and enjoy the journey.

The P1 kids will be going for a Learning Journey this term. If you are interested to tag along, do approach one of the PSG member to find out who is the coordinator so you can sign up when the request for parent volunteer is out.

Hi mummies,


My boy is in K2, teck khee blk319, planning to send him to Teck Khee Primary next year but worry on the workload and stress from school. I would like him to study in a less stressful environment. Is Teck Khee ok?

Hongmeiyu79, your child in P1?

Tanshelin, normally the school will start slow. P1 typically not so many homework. By P2 or P3, homework will be more. This is toprepare the kids for upper primary. If you interested, can check with the school to arrange for a visit to find out more.

Hi Bluebelt,


Yes, my child is in P1.

Hi hongmeiyu79,


Hmm, did not know that P1 already have so much homework. I know some P1 parents and they did not mention that. One thing you can do is to talk to the form teacher to find out if the students are given enough time to do some of the homework at school. At the same time, you can feedback your concern about the amount of homework. PTC coming at the end of the term. But you can always talk to the form teacher before PTC.

DS in p3 now. Hardly any homework past 2 yrs. Some topics when i see he make mistakes in school work, he will have to do assessment books at home. Otherwise mostly play & tv time until a week before term tests. Spelling lists are average, sometimes with some difficult words.

Of course DS did mentioned some classmates being praised by teacher when they improve in their spelling so there are some students who need more time to pick up. There is slight banding in mother tongue after term 1.
I think homework depends on teachers too. DS teacher gave manageable quantity as DS knew of other schoolmates having extra math worksheets or were much ahead in their workbooks or textbooks or spelling list.

Yeah, my younger DS also in P3 now. Average daily 1 to 2 homework. But after going through my elder DS who is now in P5, P3 is no longer the honeymoon time. Things will start to ramp up pretty soon. P5 is another stressful year as kids will have homework daily. So it is good to train them with good study habit since young. Even when there is no homework, should get them to at least do some revision or some extra work. Once they have a habit of doing homework everyday, they will not find it too stressful when they enter upper primary.

Test 1? P1 P2 normally start going through test papers in class by Wed or Thurs. But bring home only after completing corrections so probably after Fri.
