Just to update, she received timetable today. There’s also pupil profile form to fill up.


She says need to bring color pencils on Monday.

Happy weekend everyone!!

My girl shared her box of colour pencils today with her friends because they did not not bring. So sweet of her. The pupil profile form was handed in today too. The CCA form is waiting to be filled up. More or less my DD has decided on the 3 choices. She has to decide what she wants as she will be the one going for CCA and parents are not the one going for CCA. Therefore, it is important, she makes her own choice.

Hi chosun and freellie, yes, good to know parents from the same class. I think different class gives out different pieces of form at slightly different timing. Semgal, if what the admin staff told u is true, i think my gal can wear pe attire everyday! Her only day without pe/he is the day with modular curriculum. And does mean that all the parents have to go to the bookstore to get those books now?

My DD shared about how her Chinese teacher carry out oral conversation individually with them on second day of school. The girls have to go to teacher's table one at a time like oral exam like that kind. I suppose she is gauging the girls' standard of Chinese. My DD said there were 3 questions. First question my DD catch no ball and didn't answer till her teacher has to ask her in English if my DD understands. Too bad she doesn't understand what the teacher was asking her and said don't know. 2nd question was asked about the favourite colour. My DD told her teacher red was her favourite colour. I asked my Dd, hey isn't pink your favourite colour? Guess what my DD said? \"I forgot how to say pink in Chinese so I just said 红色。*LOL* Omg, pink is 粉红色 ，my dd forgotten her colours in Chinese already. Last question was about how many family members in the family. That one she knows for sure. Hope the Chinese teacher can tell the class more Chinese stories as a way to improve the Chinese Language and for the children to be interested in the language.


When I asked my DD what was her Chinese teacher name, my Dd replied,\"The Chinese teacher introduced herself on first day but on second day she did not introduce herself again so I forgot her name.\" *LOL*

Then another funny incident. My DD told me she has a Spider-man PE/HE teacher. I was like what?! Then my DD said his face was like Spider-Man. Really? But I heard that teacher is very fit and athletic-looking.

My DD also asked me why her classroom was so boring without any toys to play. :? She asked me if her teacher hid the toys somewhere. *LOL*

Hi,


My girl is in P1 Gratitude. As I do not have the timetable yet, can any parent advise me the books/materials they need to bring next Monday?
Should they wear pinafore or PE attire?

Thanks.

Hi, I think you can bring the following to give to teacher to keep in school - the English Handwriting book, English Thematic worksheets, the whiteboard/marker in a package transparent file is meant for Chinese. All should be clearly labelled. The rest of the required items you can refer to the handout in Orientation file if you have not handed them in.

Sembgal,

your DD is to bring the English Handwriting book, English Thematic worksheets? I asked my DD and she said her teacher didn't mention that, so I suppose different classes have different announcements?

BTW, the elective CCA, there's no school bus arrangement I guess? We'll need to bring our DD to school ourselves?

[sembgal]

Hi lil_jade, I agree with you that different class teachers will give different announcements at different time. The handwriting book and the whiteboard/marker was verbally told to the class on first day of school and my dd came back to inform what the teacher expected them to bring on second day of school. The Thematic English worksheets which are to be brought to class on the second day of school, was recorded in the pupil’s helpmate by my dd. So good to know of other parents here who are active in this thread too.


As for morning CCA, you will have to make your own transport arrangement to bring your P1 girl to school. There is no morning CCA bus, unlike the afternoon CCA bus which will send the girls home after they have finished their CCAs in afternoon.

I trust that MCS believed in developing each child holistically, as well as to celebrate diverse talents and skill sets, which is the reason why P1 pupils get the opportunity to participate in CCA starting Pri 1.

List of CCAs for P1.
Artistic Gymnastics
Rhythmic Gymnastics
Tennis
Netball
Dance Club
Art Club
Drama Club
