eileenp, don't worry too much. Your son will find some friends soon.
Oh, u can ask him to ask the older morning star boys any questions. I am sure they will answer them. Alternatively, can ask ur son to see which level is having same recess time as P1 and ask a morning star boy of that level to see if they can meet during recess to show him around. If your son is shy, maybe you can call the center and speak to a caregiver there and I believe they will be able to help you pair up your son with someone who will be able to help. Think the school teachers would have brought them around the school too for the 1st few days. The most important areas which your son should know are: canteen, toilet, school hall, library, school bookshop, school office - the rest he will be able to figure out himself slowly through exploration - which will be added fun. -

Wenthea - your son in morning star too? Looks like we have quite a lot of morning star mommy here.
Yes he is in morning star:) 1st day, they were paired with a pri 2 boy each to show them the shower time routine So i probably seen your son but dunno which is him.
My boy is a big eater. like if we go out to eat say zhi char, he will need 2 portions of rice. But he seem not very keen on the canteen food. Everyday he have continental breakfast...
muffin and garlic bread. give him $2 he eat 4, give him $3 he eat 6... makes me think if the garlic bread is very small...
On Monday, yesterday, he went without a P5 buddy so I asked him if he managed. he said he just went with 2 other P1 SIY boys from another group and talked til it was time to go to hall.. but when i asked him if he knew their names he said dunno.. gosh.. he just chin cai go lunch with classmates and never thought to ask their names....
Actually morning star seem q good. the lil boy enjoys it there as compared to kinderland.. yesterday, picked him at 5pm, there were all in canteen playing ball.. kicking it around. Last Fri, they were playing monopoly.. so seems like a good mix of activity for their age.. Dunno if the homework kicks in will be as fun or not..
Anyone missing their boys? seems like 6am wake up, breakfast, rush to school, at night 6-7pm then see them again. Seem like a long time. -
:goodpost: spoken like a true veteran parent!

Hi wenthena,
Yes, my son was one of those P2 who volunteered to help the P1 around in morning star. So far, he still enjoys morning star - told me the only thing he doesn't like is when he has to do homework or extra work that is giving in morning star. So, I told him whether he goes to morning star or not, there is homework to be done. And, yes, they have indoor and outdoor activity everyday.
Any morning star kid staying in Punggol? Just wondering what is your arrangement to pick up your kid.. or if we can make arrangements taking turns to pick up the kids. -

Hehe! so coincident! My flat is in punggol! but due to time constraints, we let my mom take care of him and her house is within 1-2km of the school.. cos she got maid to have ready cooked food every evening. so after picking him, we'll g to my mom's place for dinner, homework etc..Hi wenthena,

Wow! your son is so nice to volunteer!
last year i was thinking to let him take a school bus straight home or not after school. but then, no one but the maid to monitor him til 7pm so better not.. scared he will be spoiled rotten and home work all not done and whole day watch tv, no meaningful activity. I am ok he play outdoors, board game or just socialise with people his age. at home, if no one watching, he tend to play games, watch tv ALL day and eat junk food. so hopefully, the structure of morning star will be good for him. and your feedback really eased my mind. I was so worried at first

hahaahaaa… so my guess is that your son takes the school bus to school too?
