The 1st week of school had already past. How are you kids dealing???


My girl (clas 1/8) came back after the 1st and complaint that P1 is so boring cos there is no "playtime". I told her P1 is very different from K1 & K2.

And after 2nd day, she came back commented that PE is so boring, only balancing the bean bag on their head.

Guess my girl is asking too much!!!

She is quite happy coming back from school today with her spelling lists for both English and MT. getting her to start learning from tomorrow after school.

Now I am wondering will she come back home tomorrow with her classmate’s uniform instead of her own since she has to change from PE attire to uniform. And the long day on Wednesday. Let’s wait and see.

I thought the long day is Tuesdays.
Anyway seems the school is approaching the syllabus differently from other schools. I somewhat like this approach.

My girl's fm class 1/7 and so far I only received her spelling list for Eng, no Chinese one leh...


For the past week, I've only received positive comments fm her abu her class and sch, no complaints so far Except the lost of 2 erasers...

So far my kids (1/5 and 1/8) are enjoying school. My DD got the English spelling list yday, but DS still has not got it. Anyone from 1/5 and 1/8 here?


Today the first long day is here, so waiting to hear how they coped with it. The time table given to them is only for Term 1 since at the Curriculum talk it was mentioned that they will be doing swimming and Wushu in T2 and T3 and Music and Dance in T4.

Hey, did any of your kids have to change into PE attire/uniform in school today? My kids didn’t bring any note like this and the handbook/note from school specifically said that unless mentioned, normal uniform on Tues. Also wondered as PE first lesson for both!

oops, yes Tuesday is the long day, not Wednesday.

Since I had paid for her recess and lunches during the orientation - For recess she had rice with ikan bilis, cucumber slices & egg, lunch is the same but w/o the egg!!! Hopefully next week will be better.

mine also from 1/7....so far so good have been enjoying himself....amazed at the long list of spelling but good to have as I can go through with him early...
saw in the dairy that they supposed to submit the spelling book, didn't know is it for Chinese or English...anyway emailed mrs tan, was informed by her that the broad line exercise book wasn't in the booklist and she ask me to pass 40cents to my son so that he can purchased it from the book shop...Parents do take note on this....

Think probably every class’s diff cos’ my girl had fried noodles during recess today and noodles soup for lunch.


Preciousjam, I also called Mrs Lynn Tan enquiring abu the so-called spelling exercise book. Was also told that it was not included in the booklist and thus will pass the money to my girl tmr so that she can get it from the bookshop. Was told it’s only required next week.

Hi kiasidad,


That's strange! My girl didn't have it in her Dairy, but it's good to see someone from her class. What is your dd's name? My girl is the Indian girl who sits in for Chinese during MT class.....
