<![CDATA[Home timetable for P1]]>Hi … am very new to KSP. My son starts P1 next week, and being our eldest kid, we don’t really know what to expect.


He has been in a full day childcare for the past few years, so it would be quite a big change for him to be at home in the afternoons next year.

My hubby suggests that we set up a timetable for him, to instill some discipline in him from Day One. Otherwise, we know he will just spend time playing with his toys.

Does anyone out there have tips to share, or perhaps a sample time table that I can adapt?

Many thanks!

Previously, she went to BASC during P1 so she followed the BASC timetable and a simple routine when she gets home in the evening. Now that I’m a SAHM, she comes home after school and follows a timetable we drew up together. She is in a single-session school that ends at 1:30pm daily except Mondays (4pm due to PAL). She has CCA on Fridays that ends at 4pm.


She showers and eats when she gets home regardless of when she gets off. Then, it’s homework, followed by revision for tingxie or spelling (if any). On Tue-Thu, she does assessments for Chinese, English and Maths. Then, she goes off to play, etc until dinnertime. I eat earlier than her due to her late lunch and me having to get her baby sister to bed early. On most nights, she eats alone and waits for DH to get home. Dh will take over from there till her bedtime at 9+.

We simply used her BASC timetable and adapted it to her school timetable and to some extent, DD2’s routines.

Hi koalamummy,


We have something similar discussed earlier on.

MMM, for the elder children who are in primary school, what do they do in the morning before going to school? Currently, my kids attending full day at childcare center so i just need to \"worry\" abt them when i return from work...I wonder how to arrange their time table when they reach primary school..from wake up till going to school, unsupervise...have thoughts about quiting my job when my gal reach pri 1 but many of my colleagues think otherwise...they said pri 1 shld be ok as long as got my maid and mil supervising then shld be ok.....u guys/gal think coaching is essential when kids reach primary school? at which stage do u think \"parent intervention\" is necessary?

For my P2, he is in PM session, in the morning we would ask him to practise his CL S&D stuff and also piano. It is up to him to rest and relax. I know he would watch TV.....

Meanwhile for P3, there are several days that she need to stay back after school. She usually takes a nap in the afternoon. I told her to try to finish her homework before i come back.

As our evening timetable is \"intense\" no tv, etc... I usually let them do whatever they want in the morning/ noon. I don't want them to be study phobic so must allow them so free time. During exams, it would be more intense but I told them that they can enjoy themselves after that. They know it's true so they need to work hard when it's time to do so.

It's like this. When your kid first entered P1, you would find it stressful. I used to be take it easy to super stressed out mum. My eldest child P1 was an adjustment for me. But with my eldest in P3, I feel that P1 and P2 are really honeymoon period and there is no need to quit your job. Frankly, at this point, I am still feeling stressed but I supposed when my eldest is in P6, what we are going through now is nothing.

Are you the mum who is aiming for MBS??? If so, MBS has little homework for P1 and P2 if the child is able to cope and complete their work in school.

In terms of coaching, my kids have enrichment lessons/ tuition for all subjects. Our role in the evening is to ensure they do their enrichment/ school work and also be there if they've any questions. As we cannot depend on enrichment/ tuition only, we also prepare them for exams eg. giving spelling, revising work, giving them assessment,etc... based on the identification of their problem areas.

Say from 7pm when you reach home, what is the time that your kids start doing homework and what time do they sleep? (i think the sleeping time of kids is also one concern raise by someone…forgot who oredi)

Hi, the time table for my dd :


8.30 - 9 am wake up and breakfast
9 - 10 am do assessment, give her spelling
10 - 11.30 bathe, lunch, wait for school bus

7 - 8 pm dinner, watch tv (her favorite korean drama which daddy threatened to remove)

8 - 9.30 pm do homework
10 pm sweet dreams... (but she tends to chit-chat and update me on her school happenings till her sister barked at her to keep quiet and sleep)

weekends - relax and learn spelling. Have not included time to do revision, may be next term.
My target timetable is similiar to yours. But ds needs a lot of pushing before he do his homework. Sigh, must cultivate into a habit for him to follow timetable.

For mine, the only thing I insist in his BASC programmes is to cater for nap time and play time (note to me TV time is not play time) 😄 Had a shock when I received their programme list - largely schoolwork and teatime - - CKS sure meet KP school if you have listing :lol:

Hi, titank. Does that mean that your kid has breakfast at 9am and lunch at 11am? How to take the 2nd meal in 2 hrs time?

She told me the class schedule is from 8am-3pm, which I thought is really a good timing, cos they don’t start as earlier, and have more time at school… not so rushed. Somehow I feel more at ease if the kids are supervised at school rather than just playing at home or being supervised by the maid.

For my case I need both AM & PM as my kid would be Mon-Thu in PM while on Fri on AM. Yes it would be good to have a timetable for the kid to follow.


is it convenient to share which school that is ? quite rare to have such a school that has different sessions on different days. 🙂

If you read here http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7718, Titank has DS going to RMPS
