Hi,


May I know what do we do during the parents' session on 21th?

All the files and white board are still at home so are we supposed to bring all these to school too??

Hi Callie,

For parents' briefing on the 21st, the principal will address you first in the hall, then you'll get to meet the form teacher in the class , who will give you more info regarding her expectations and what parents should expect. She'll also inform you about how the gals will be assess etc.

Do bring the white board to sch daily or keep it in the locker as your DD will use it regularly. Keep files at home till teacher asks for them.

Hi all mummies of P1 n P2...


I 'm planning to put my DD in MC next yr but I heard from some others that starting from P1 they have to attend extra lesson (like tuition) in the morning once or twice a week..is it true? Sch bus will not send them in early so parents have to send them themselves...if that is the case..very jia luck coz i'm a working mom....any idea?
P2 moms pls confirm if the above situation is true?
Thanks.......and all the P1 mummies...辛苦你们了....

Hi genki2,

The extra lessons for P1-P2 are only for identified weaker students. If your DD copes well academically, there'll not be any extra lessons till P3.

Sch buses will not send your DD to sch early for CCA or remedial lessons.

Hello acbj,
Oh No, my gal didnt mention to me anything about Green File!!! 2nd day she submitted the 1 square exercise book, chinese activity book & the CME book ( the book with the picture of \"Soil\" ) She told me today need to submit $3.10, a blue notebook, Listening comprehension & Handwriting practice booklets.....
So tough for the gals to remember what the teachers want them to bring... the teachers should at least get the gals to write inside an exercise book first....

Ya, I agree...the teacher should have asked them to write it down somewhere. Afterall, these are P1 kids.
For future reference, maybe you might want to get your DD to write down reminders and all homework in her Helpmate. :lol:

Hi Tinkerbelle,
I think they are getting the Helpmate today...I hope so.... :xedfingers:
Its definitely easier if she can write down what is required by the teachers

Yes, you are right!
I remember the flags but not sure if I saw you..... I noticed the flags because there are lines at the back and I was thinking to myself that they must be hand painted and that it's one big piece of paper and not jointed 2 pieces.... Can see that my mind is really trying to find something to do.
Shld hv come to me and chat!
All the waiting just to see our DD during recess. :lol:

Haha....think there's a typo error in the parents briefing on 21 Jan. It can't be 9.30 - 11.30pm (shld b am rite???).

Ya, definitely a typo error.....parents' briefing for P1-P2 is usually in the morning.

Did the teacher give out the Term 1 schedules to your gals? or we have to go to the website and check it out ourselves?
My gal didnt tell me anything about the schedule :?
And if not for this forum, I am not aware that there is a Parents' Briefing on the 21st Jan, Fri :slapshead:[/quote]Hi Pepooh,

No, the sch will not give out the 'Schedule of Activities' in an effort to save the environment. Parents are expected to check it out on the sch's website. The Parents' Briefing is mentioned in the schedule so it's important that we check the website regularly. Last year, there was a last minute change in the P1 final year examinations.. Luckily I checked.

Hi cantbearit2,

There are enrichment/supplementary lessons but only for P3 onwards.

Great! That's when honeymoon period (P1/P2) ends.
