SAHM_Tan,


DS1 has 6 pencils (MUST be 2B), 1 eraser, 1 ruler, 1 sharpener in his pencil box. They were not encouraged to put scissors in. Glue was recently added in.

singabox and hquek,


Thanks for the infor.

hquek,

Does it mean, they are not encourage to bring scissors?

[hquek]

hi sahm_tan,


Can’t recall exactly, but I think they are not. in the first place, most activities (esp start of P1), will not require scissors. what if they injure themselves/others? For a start, it’s safe not to bring. or perhaps it’s staplers they are not encouraged to bring. Sorry, a bit hazy on this.

I gather that kids LURVE the silver and gold colour pencils. I bought the $3.99 stabilo promo pack that has 12 colours and silver and gold. DS was ecstatic.

For pencils, 2B is a must. anything less (eg HB), teacher will tell them to keep at home.

Thanks hquek. I will chk with the school about the scissors.


I will include the 2B pencils in my to-buy list plus the silver and gold heehee

previously went for the pv english kids read program. They will be given 15 mins at the end of the lesson for art and craft. The students were very excited when they saw staples and scissors. Maybe these are items they hardly get to use so very excited over it.
