My girl took school bus lat thu and fri to sch. She says she walks to the hall on her own.


I spoke to the bus uncle, after a few days? The kids will know where to go to locate their own bus, but guess the FT will still bring them to the sheltered area to look for their school bus.

Maybe you should drop an email to the FT explaining it is your girl's first time taking school bus, ask him to lead your girl to the bus.

My girl also has a sticker on her name tag showing the bus number. Maybe you can put a sticker also...

Based on my last year's impression, bus uncles/ aunties will actually put sticker on their name tag to indicate which bus the child belongs to. This helps teacher to differentiate between child taking/ not taking school bus.

I volunteered last year for a couple of days (post 1st days) and kids will get used to it after a week. They adapt fast so don't worry. One observation was also teacher will ask the child to bring the art folio, apron, art stuff and some of those books/ stuff to be kept in school so the kids do not need to bring every week. Dd's FT related to me that the VP was on the lookout for kids' bags too. Make sure they are not too heavy and do not pack the unnecessary etc...

As usual, Miss Lim (P1 level manager) is there to manage the situation. She is very very experienced and very nice too. Looks/ sounds very fierce initially but actually a very nice teacher. My ds was taught by her when he was P1 and she still remembers his name though he is P5 now, etc....

Enjoy our MBS with our kid(s) together!

cheers!

Have a happy weekends....:D

Wow it's really good to see so many P1 parents here to make this thread so lively :boogie:

Will try to answer some of the questions. I realised I am suffering from memory loss.... must be getting old....

Timetable is usually for the entire year. Sometimes there may be changes but usually not the norm.

CT = Contact time. I think it is the time teachers spent communicating with the kids on non-academic basis???? Any experienced parents here might want to share more.

CCA is usually available later on when the dust settles.

Wk 2 - supplementary/remedial lessons CMP/VE/CCA - FYI especially for upper primary students where they have supplementary classes. It's to indicate if those classes and CCA have resumed so the child must stay back.

Hello all!


So surprised to see the thread so active now. Takes the bus No. 1. Took time off for the first 3 days at school. Today he's supposed to buy food for himself but yet we cannot enter the school. So frustrating and so worried. Anyone else who's kid is taking the same bus or in the same class? My son is kinda like in his own world. He eats slow and is shy and everytime I ask how his day has been, he says 'I dunno?\"
So worried!

If you can afford the leave, maybe can check with PSG if it is still possible to volunteer. I recalled volunteering past the 1st days last year. The work involved standing beside the designated stall to help the kids eg. telling them the price, what is the amount and helping them along as they are not familiar with using coins yet. Also for those hot stuff, parents also help to keep a lookout to make sure kids don't scald themselves.

Today my DD brought back the "Chinese Creativity Mining Technique Class" and "English Language Skills Program" form home …


Any mummy able to advise whether is this good ? It’s on every Saturday 1-230pm and 230-4pm back to back …

[Wolfgirl]

Ya I saw the letter… Still considering… 5 day school becomes 6 day school???


Maybe p2 and above parents whose kids went through the program can shed some info?

The enrichment program is priced very competitive. Am impressed by English literacy provider, with so many schools in their list. It’ll be great to hear some feedbacks from ‘older’ children’s parents who send them.
