Oooo..then it must be one of those session that DD missed.

BTW, last wk, DD told me that there was a snake in the compound of GSSC. Though she did see it, but teaches asked them to go to a room. She was more excited than scared.

acbj, if your DD is going for Art trial tmr. how's her lunch arrangement?
Don't think there is enuf time to go back GSSC for lunch.. :?

Yes, thankfully the snake was caught within the hour it was spotted.

As for lunch, I will give her a pack of Milo and a bun in case there isn't enough time to go back to GSSC.
But My DD might finish the work way before the time is up (depending if she is in the mood to draw).....

If she is still hungry, I think she will buy bigger portion of noodles to eat during recess. So far, she told me that she spent her recess eating noodles, sushi, fishball, fruits..... (at least 2 items) and it makes me wonder if the canteen food there is really yummy and nice..... Will make sure that she has $2 tomorrow.

Wow! your DD managed to eat so many things within recess time! She must be a fast eater!!

[quote=\"chergaby\"]Hi lvkt,

So far, GSSC nvr ask me for any $$. On 1st day, we were briefed:
1) To get an exercise book, which serves as a comm book
2) Bring Eng & Math assessment books for them to work on.
3) Ms Zhang will advise which Chinese assessment to buy or she'll get for us & we pay.

Hi Ivkt

It is right. They are asked to buy an A4 exercise book (cost 90ct) as a common book. The children were told to bring $2 to buy the exercise book themselves.

The rest of info is as per above

[/quote]What i did was wrote a note with the $2 and ask my daughter to bring to the bookshop assistant, telling them what she needs and write dw the cost of the item and the change they return.

GSSC asked the kid to go get the book themselves actually

Hi acbj,
If your DD is still keen in art, maybe you would like to email Mdm Tan Li Kiang (the teacher in charge of the art club) today. Lvkt did that too and the teacher called her that same evening to arrange a trial for her DD tomorrow. The art trial is tomorrow so you still have a chance to try it out. Good luck to your DD.

Thanks!!
I emailed her and she called me.
I am impressed at the rate that they reply email considering that they are teaching and may have other duties on hand that day. (definitely faster than citibank - the bank that says it doesn't sleep... Hv been waiting for them to address my faulty IB token issue since 3 weeks ago. After 2 phone calls, I am still waiting.... Got to go and 'bang table' later.)
:x

My DD will be able to join the Art trial tomorrow.
Seems like there are a lot of students who are interested, thus she said only those who show potential and talent in this area will be selected.

That's great! All the best to your DD tmr!

For Pri 1 Responsibility, DD said that their Chinese spelling is on Tuesday.

The English spelling is on Thursday.

As my DD is in GSSC, I saw in her GSSC book that the teachers there actually went through the spelling (both Eng & Chinese) with them.
Very thankful that they revise the spelling list of the week with them.

Same here. My DD not able to tell me which day so luckily GSSC's teachers went thru wif her liao.

Not sure if they will keep them till 12pm as stated or whoever is done can leave...
Even so, worried if DD can r'ber how to walk back to GSSC. I asked her, she said she knows, but knowing her she's always on her LaLa Land...

WOW, my DD must \"buddy\" with yours! Mine always 5 pcs of sushi or a muffin. The sushi uncle also knows her by now. Besides these junk food! Just tdy, i cut her allowance to $1, bocs she hardly drinks water (despite constant reminders). I think she'll fall sick soon with junk food!!

Yes!!! My DD came back with a full water bottle and told me that she bought an Aloe Vera Drink, 'very healthy, no preservatives or coloring' according to her.....
:stupid:

Hi lvkt,
DD2 is only in P2...also no need for highlighter..keke. She just likes the colour. :slapshead: Think sometimes the gals get influenced by their peers. DD2 went to the bookshop with her friends and ended buying something herself.

Can imagine your shock...NO food!! After yesterday's :rant: , I'm sure your DD won't give her food a miss anymore. She must be so hungry by the time she got home. :drool:

girls have \"shopping gene\" mah my girl came bought a paper blow-up ball last week, yesterday she came home with a chatek!

Think the quote 'girls have shopping genes is so true
just the 3rd day, my gal came bk with a red open costing her 1.20 and she skipped lunch that day
last week she came bk with the blown up paper ball too!![/quote]Hi WorriedParent74 & Threefuchsia24,

Haha...your DDs can really shop....maybe take after mummy, is it?? :rotflmao:
