Gabby:

What is an acceptable mark for a P1? Should be relaxing since the exams are over. Instead got more stressed.

Hi Gabby

If I were you, I will not be stressed. Think about it how lucky it is that we are able to tell from P1 paper where our child is lacking and needs improving. Time is on your side.

You need to identify whether those points lost are careless mistakes or simply lack of practice (like spelling) or understanding... then work on it. 88 is already band 1 if I am not wrong (85 and above is band 1, right?)

Just my two cents.
Cheers!

Hi all,


My daughter will be in Pri 3 next year and any recommended home tuition teacher for English, maths and science? I am staying at Tampines.

Thanks in advance.

Me just bought DS P2 books today, cannot imagine the cycle to repeat again in Jan 2012. But after P1, we should know what to improve for their weak area.


But a good experience indeed. I hope DS will not be careless and be more careful in his upcoming p2 work.

Dear All,


I have 2 sets of brand new PE attire to let go at SGD 20 dollars. Yellow house. PM me if you are keen. I cannot remember the size but is meant for P2-P3 gals.

dear parents, kindly advise,

1) is it normal not to have time table in the 1st week?
2) is your P1 child assign a P2 ‘buddy’ to familiarize the school/bring him/her to canteen during recess?
3) how much is your child given for recess snack/lunch?

thanks.

hi, drwho. Mine in P2 now.
1) Till now, P2 also don't have timetable. If I remember correctly, we had p1 timetable at the end of 1st week? Anyway, in Feb, the timetable is likely to change bec of LSM/LSE. So look out for changes later.
2) I don't think there is any buddy system. There are parent volunteers around to help during recess.
3) I let my DSs bring milk and snack to sch so that I know what they eat everyday. So, didn't give pocket money
Hope this helps.

Same thing, mine till date eat the home brought bread and a small pack of drink ( either juice / vita soy or milo.


But I still give him pocket money in case he wants to buy anything.

Same here. Homemade food. Canteen food doesn't look very nice. I gave DD 50 cents every week. At first I also see there is no need giving her pocket money... But I was too curious to find out how she will \"fiddle\" with real money .... a saver or a spender?...to test her of a kind lah... haha


By the way, any one knows about school policy regarding hand phones? I am asking this because my girl recently requesting a handphone. :lightrod: I said NO and she asked \"why P3 jie jie can have one but I can't.....\"..... :skeptical:
