Hi Bigfoot/ Cherrygal,


Can I know what do u intend to pack for ds on 1st day of school? I'm thkg whether to bring all the textbooks or to wait for teacher's cue after day 1??

*eeks! I need to find the lock!*

Is your son going to P1 in 2012? There was a notice called \"What to bring to school\" outlining what to bring on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days. Maybe you should ask the school to email you the soft copy.

Hi beanstalk,

Ds going P2 next year.. Heehee... I still hve the last year's P1 what to bring on Day 1 to 3 - but not sure if it is applicable to P2!

Really, u mean same size as the \"My pals are here\" series? Okie Dokie.

Another question, is the house t-shirt available at the book shop and can parents enter the school compound on Day 1 to make purchase? It seems we are confined to the waiting area which are the benches outside the office. I'm really lazy to go to the vendor's shop to by.

BTW, how much money are you mommies giving your P1 kids for allowance? Is $2 enough? Or should I just pack something for him?

Thanks for your sharing, I am really feeling the anxiety.

I just bought the books, labelled everything and packed DS' new bag. Fortunately I recycled the larger plastic covers before I put away his P1 books. Pacific bookstore ran out of those plastic covers.

For Day 1, I packed:
- Report book and PE report book
- Admin Folder (bought the envelope type with compartments from Daiso)
- Exercise books (all)
- Chinese and Math textbooks 2A
- Workbooks 2A
- Stellar book and Grammar book
- 4 coloured folders
- Padlock, thermometer
- Colour pencils, pencil case

Day 2 will pack the rest in (health edu, moral, music, social studies), including the whiteboard and markers. Not sure if the teacher will want the 2B books as well to keep in school. Will wait for further instructions.

Hey bigfoot,

Initially I bought those plastic where you need to cut to size. I remember doing it with my mother when I went to school. But after a while, I gave up. Decided to buy the ready made size. So much easier and can be reuse the following year.

As for allowance, I think $2 is more than enough. I was thinking $1.50. The P1 students ate in class this year so we have no idea as well. But judging from the trial recess conducted earlier last month, I think $1.50 should be enough. Ask your DS to bring his own water bottle.

Looks good. I will pack more or less the same.
