Hi mudcookie & Kiasumami, finnaly saw some 1D parents here.


Ya, you are right. Seems 1D not much activities, homeworks, etc. Think so far only 2 days hv 1 page Hanyu PinYin homework, no english or math homeworks at all.

By the way, we want to go back DD grandma house in M'sia on CNY eve, but understand got half day morning school. Not sure whether can skip 1 day don't go school. Any advice on how to apply that? :?

Thanks for the advice on art lesson! Poster color pencil = water color pencil? Was this in the booklist? I know there was a box of color pencils in the booklist but I don’t think that one can double up as water color. Anyone knows?

I think PAL is something like PE, it stands for Programme for Active Learning. I saw in DS’ comm book that PAL for 1C is volleyball for Wed and wushu on Thu. Anyone knows what is PC and the Mass Lectures in the timetable?

I am staying at Punggol, send DS to SC near PCS daily and SC will send him to school and fetch him in the evening back to SC. Are you a SAHM?

IC had Maths HW yesterday, the activity book (not workbook) to complete till Page 11. DS said the earlier pages were done during class but still left about 4 pages to do at home. DS skipped all those that need to color and I had to make him return to those questions he skipped to complete. Realized the last 2 questions were quite difficult for a P1, had to explain for quite a while to help him understand. Really not easy for us parents … though at least we have a forum to discuss.

PC = Computer?

Mass Class = Group Lecture??

I didn't check my DD's homework and what books to bring tomorrow last night coz when home, well over 10pm and DD already fell asleep. I only checked any notes in the communication book and any letters from the school.

I am thinking of stop packing her school bag from now on. First, almost everyday I am home after 8pm; Secondly nobody checked my homework or what to bring next day when we was at our school age I suppose, and we still managed to cope, right? DD needs to learn to do that herself sooner or later, just a matter of time. If she forgets to do homework or bring the wrong books, let teachers teach her a lesson so that she will remember the next time.

Just my thought. The time saved can be used to coach their homework if they need our help. Sometimes I believe we parents just need to let go a bit. Or we will really age faster. :stupid:

You can write to the form teacher to ask whether you can be excused from the CNY eve celebration in school.

I don't dare to plan for msia trip during CNY, scared of the jam ...

And now DS in pri school, unlike those days in preschool, any time suka pull out go holiday.

My boy has one copy of the time table in his bag.

I copied it out and have one at home.

PC - I think stands for Pastoral Care if I am not wrong. Not sure too. Some terms in fact I was trying hard to figure out

DD said to me this morning: "mummy, why every day you pack me the same sandwitch and fruits? Can I have some sushi like my friends?" aiyo… being parents are so not easy!

Strongly agree !!.. one of my colleague has a checklist for his DS to follow

Like Pack school bag, check pocket money, Need to any art material, etc.
Maybe I should implement somewhere somehow .. they have to be independent... can't be like a baby forever.

Sighhh .. mine is ordering his lunch menu as if home is a restuarant ..
I am going to do up a lunch menu at home .. Gor Gor loves noodles .. then in the morning he will nag my maid to cook him noodles, Then when Di Di back, he will say why everyday noodles .. I want rice ...

Haizzz.. So tonight I am going to have a meeting with both of them, to draft out a lunch menu .. like mon wed fr noodles then Tue Thu Rice. Weekend I will cook myself.

Alternate weeks we will switch menu. Otherwise, both will grumble and grumble..

Kids are hard to please .. sighh .. our parents time, what they cooked we will eat ..

Have food to eat, already feel contented .. kids these days are spoilt for choice.

hehe … i also thought pc is computer but i really dont think so leh.

do you usually need to work late? think i have asked but forgotten, your maid or MIL takes care of your DD? I made DS sit by me to pack his bag together, coz if I pack, he may not know if I have packed certain things or not, and where its placed? but agree with you, we are sooo protective and take too good care of our children.

timetable was given out by form teacher for 1C last week and a revised copy with amendments this week, not sure about other classes.

LOL about ordering lunch menu! I only fret about breakfast and dinner, breakfast is usually bread for convenience but try to find a different bread for DS to pack to eat during recess (he requested for it). I don’t pass by bakery all the time so quite troublesome at times to go and buy specially, sometimes i bake my own bread instead. Dinner, ordered tingkat but the food is so-so only. Am considering to prepare ingredients the night before and cook simple after fetching him back home in the evening.
