gorilla, I have not seen any Chinese magazine either...


LLX, so all CCAs end at 12pm? I have no idea what the school is thinking. We should feedback to the office. How can the girls possibly have lunch at all even if the lunch is packed, unless they gobble it down in 5 minutes flat (bad for digestion!)

My dd2 already brought back 2 issues of 好朋友, guess if u still didn't receive it, better check with teacher.

Only some CCAs end at 12pm - drama, art, tennis and netball.

LLX, For 好朋友, should I check with the Chinese teacher or form teacher? I do not have the Chinese teacher’s contact.


Ohdaddy, has your dd brought back any 好朋友?

My dd has not brought back any chinese magazine. OMG - why so many things we have to f/up? even Sch bus chg pickup time from 1130 to 1145, I have to call the Sch to clarify. The parents briefing should be sooner like 2nd week so we do not keep guessing what’s next or have to email teachers to clarify.

My dd also brought back her 2nd Chinese magazine and was ask to read and complete 2 pages of worksheets. Guess all the classes is different in term of teaching.

hi,
you should check with the chinese teacher. If you do know the name of the teacher, you can find out her email address from the mcs website - teaching staff. My dd's mother tongue teacher is Peng Liangyu.

好朋友 is given on weekly basis and it follows closely with the school textbook and its quite comprehensive with compositions written by other students, passage with comprehension, words to be learn and write and some sentence matching. Therefore, its quite useful and colorful with lots of pictures.

my dd1 always look forward for me to read the story passage inside.

Hi everyone,

It's with great disappointment that I read about all the admin dilemma some of you are facing. Maybe this can be brought to the teachers' attention during the Parents' Briefing. Hopefully, communication between the sch and parents will improve, expecially for kids in the lower Pri.

Today, DD2 was told that all students can wear CNY costumes to sch tomorrow for CNY celebrations. This was told to them verbally at such short notice, with no newsletter from the sch. In the previous years, there had always been newsletters to inform parents about wearing ethnic costumes. :roll:

For the benefit of P1/P2 parents, tomorrow (Friday) is single session for the whole school. P1/P2 have to attend sch at 7.15 am -1.30pm. All students can wear CNY costumes for CNY celebrations tomorrow but it's not compulsory. Those who are not wearing ethnic costumes, can just wear their sch unioform. Hope this helps.

Tinkerbelle, there was a letter about the single session and wearing of costumes for the P1 kids… perhaps they forgot to give to other levels?


CNY costumes - does it necessarily have to be ethnic or can it simply be any type of dress etc? All my dd told me is that teacher says cannot wear spaghetti straps.
