Hello everyone


Does the P1 and P2 has any enrichment classes or CCAs when they are in P1 and P2.. Appreciate your advise.. Thanks

Hi

CCAs are optional for P1 & P2.
As for Enrichment/Extra classes, I am not sure but the students are chosen by teachers to attend. In this case, it will be better and helpful to the students to attend them.

Hi cantbearit2

My eyebags are having eyebags on them… Hahaha…

As for BB, my waterbag leaked and was told that I have to induce. BB came out rather light, small (according to doc should have stayed in mommy for another month) thus stayed at hospital for a few more days.

Then he has to umdergo phototherapy because of Jaundice… It took more than a month of daily morning sun tanning before he got better.

He displayed irregular breathing, short of breathe and then Doc found out his heart condition - hole in heart. I kept waking up to check on him, making sure he is breathing well when he sleeps. Thankfully he put on weight. We are praying that the hole in his heart will get smaller as he grows up.

Very eventful…

As for DD, barely had time for her… Will try to spend more time with her now that we are more settled.


Congrats worriedparent 74 that your DD did well. : )

Good morning everyone. i have been following the thread recently,but seems to me nothing is mention about teacher. How do you guys rate your form teachers? i feel that form teacher somehow can make or break a child in some ways or sort.we are still new to MMCS, our first year went well. i found the form teacher quite supportive specially to Mrs.Ho. I take my hat off her,she is very motherly!! is it taboo to discuss teacher behavior in this site?

Actually we do share about our impressions and experiences (if any) we had with the teachers. As for rating them, personally I think it's rather subjective and everyone have different criterions.
I totally agree with you that teachers have a huge impact on our children. The children even like and work harder on a particular subject when they like the teacher more!!! At least, I did when I was a student. Hee.... Hee....
There are quite a number of us who either wrote emails, speak through the phone to feedback or request for meet ups with the teachers.
Have you talk to the teacher regarding your concerns?

Hi Tinkerbelle


My BB is still very comfortable inside.
I am the one who is uncomfortable with the weight and aches.

Thank you so much for sharing and clarifying.

Hi mummies,

My girl brough her spelling book home and I realized that they had been given spelling last friday based on the list for the diagnostic test. my girl also told me that she was given a reading test today. Any idea what's happening? Tot the test is scheduled for next week?

I thought these tests are 'Pre-test' revision exercises.
Her class did theirs on a piece of paper, not in the Spelling book.

My DD also brought back the Chinese 'Revision' Test paper.
I thought it is to show them how and what they will be tested on.

I am wondering if these revision tests will also be part of the component included to compute their Term 1 scores....

As for the reading test, my DD told me there was a Chinese 'oral' test last week. Are you referring to this?

My DD told me that her class will be having Maths Pre-test tomorrow.
She also list out the areas that they will be tested on.

To everyone here:


Wishing all of you and your family a Wonderful, Joyful and Prosperous Year of the Rabbit!!!
Stay healthy, cheerful and fun loving!

WorriedParent74,

sorry to hear your DD got bullied, if this happened to her then more or less the same happened to my DD too, but i asked if she got bullied but she said only the first few days, perhaps my DD was well-trained to protect herself when she was in childcare, so she can be tough, i used to peek her when she was in N1 that a boy took away a toy from her then she stepped on that boy's feet instead. :shock:

WorriedParent74:

Huh....that must b a joke
They called my DH n he said my gal was sitting right beside her
My gal did mentioned to me that on her 1st few days at GSSC she was kinda bullied. Some kids refused to let her sit beside them during lunch and had been pushing her fr one table to another
So I suspected that could be part of the reasons she resisted going to the centre n cried everytime she reached the gate

Hope the centre improve on this area not that we are KS but which parent wants to see their kidsbeing hurt or bullied right?

My DD said that it happened to her in the beginning at GSSC but not recently.
Hope that all the girls will be nice to each other....
If not, may all our girls toughen up and stand up for themselves. :nunchuk: :nunchuk:
