Hi all,


It has been a tiring 2 days for me, running to and fro the school...

My girl is not doing very well. She hates it because it's afternoon session and she has no time to play. She cried when I visited yesterday and today (yes yes I know I shouldn't be there) during recess time. Last night and this morning, she told me she didn't want to go school...

Well, I know this is only the interim period but it is really tiring trying to encourage and console her. Her P5 buddy started tearing today when she saw my daughter crying so badly!! I feel so bad!

Hi Callie,

Do you have car decals from VICOM, your car dealer or insurance company? I just used them as they are big enough to cover the sch's car decal and hold it securely.

Don't have lor... threw them away last time when I bought this car... aiyoyo... paste on my face when driving into the school then, hahaha

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: You are hilarious....Did you manage to get past the guard house???[/quote]The guards didn't really check for the car decal...anyway I was forced to park along the main road because it's so full within the school compund...

Hi Callie,

So sorry to hear that your DD is not enjoying school yet. It can be quite a major adjustment for a 6 year old to adapt to longer sch hours and a total new environment. Give her more time. Once she makes more friends, things will improve. Though it sounds easier said than done, it will happen. :lol:

Once the buddying programme ends, the gals will usually hang out with their partners from their classes during recess. Maybe you can encourage your DD to get to know her partner better during class. Start with 1 friend and slowly extend her social network. :hugs:
Furthermore, when the teacher starts teaching, the gals will get to know each other better through group work and fun games so rest assure, your DD will come to like sch, slowly but surely.

Here's wishing your DD all the best. Hang in there. :ugogirl:

Remedial lessons for P1 only starts next term for identified weaker students after the teacher's assessment of the pupil for 1 term. Once the pupil is identified, she has to come to sch earlier to attend the Learning Support Program (LSP).

Thanks for the support... yes am encouraging her to make friends and told her that after thursday nobody is helping her during recess time... think she is going to freak out. The funny thing is my girl is not the timid kind by nature...don't know why she's behaving like a big baby now?? Forgot to ask her whether she has made any new friends from her class...
