Hi Parents,


I think it will cost me a bomb this Sat imagine my cost doubled since my twin boys will be starting P1 in MS next yr...

Did anyone know if the boys have relaxation time since they will be having catered food in class? It would be quite sad if they are confined the whole day (except during PE) and i thought recess time is a time for kids to de-stress a little...

Oh yes, after the boys finish with their food, most of the time they are allowed to leave the classroom for some fun......recess is half an hour so there shld be ample time for ur boy to eat & play. No worries.

Thanks Lavender Tea for the info... this is useful indeed... initially I thought they will be confined and was thinking recently if i make the right decision to enrol them to MS..

Hi,


I was running through the book list and there are quite a no. of optional references e.g. CLIPS Supplementary Readers (Chinese), My Pals are Here Maths Test and Maths Homework, online animated textbooks, etc. Are these useful? :?

Also, anyone using the portal to pre-order books online?

Thanks.

Thanks LavenderTea.. I got worried too.... esp the lower primary.. recess is a time to relax and have a little fun with their friends...

Hi, do we have to get the books in the school via Pacific Book store? Can we get it else where like Popular?

Hi LavenderTea, is there any teacher or PV around to supervisor the boys to make sure they finish the foods?

I know MS is a stricter school so if the kids do not have any play time, would be quite sad for them… am relieved now to know it’s not…


I also understand lessons as ususal during Teachers/Children’s Day. They only had a couple of hours for celebration. My daughters school does the opposite… they have full day celebration yearly…

Hi,


Just saw the book list for P1, that's very expensive, about $180. Do they use all these books, or any books that students will not use?

$180 is probably including the optional items, right? I usually buy the text and exercise books only.

Some items are not available in Popular, but most are.
