I just enrolled my son in changkat primary.. Seats 100% full, so no balloting and a place for sure.

Any other parents with kids in changkat primary here...
Howz teachers, n curriuclum??

I enrolled my ds in Changkat too. Was told left very few places (abt 4) when I called & was so worried he couldn't get a place as we stay 1.5km from the school. My hb colleagues' children fro Changkat Pri did quite well in their PSLE (in Victoria Sch now) while some are still studying there. Will find out more from my other friends whose children are still in the school.

thx Tankee & nokomis. Will be looking at option 2 (Bedok Green) & 3 (St Stephen)

I live abt 1.2km fr Temasek so I wonder if my ds can get into Temasek in phase 2C?

Dear flim, thks for sharing ur experience. I rememeber a JC classmate once told me she hated piano lessons so much that she refused to touch it since she completed her formal lessons. I just want my DS to enjoy music & other stuff (art forms, sports etc) without thinking that its a chore/suffering :!: Looks like there's a lot of balancing work to do for parents

My dd has no fixed timetable. In the morning she goes kindy. In the afternoon, after her favourite tv programme hi-5, I will sit with her to do some written work for an hour or two. The rest of the time is free play, doing art & craft, reading, play piano or toys.


I’m an indoor person, hardly bring her to outdoor playground, swimming or cycling. I bring her to movies though. Outdoor activities in charge by dh

Is your boy attending any enrichments?[/quote]

Took my boy out fr CCC & enrol in K2 next yr since I’ve just resigned to be SAHM. He’s not attending any enrichment yet. Will sign him up for extra Chinese cos he’s really BAD at it (refuse to speak in Mandarin at all). Thinking of music lessons perhaps but a colleague told me the drop out rate for boys quite high at Yamaha. Anyone care to share about music lessons for their children?

Dear Buds, thk u for sharing. I think your two girls are having loads of fun!! Do other SAHP plan for outdoor activities on a daily basis? My English neighbours bring their kids out many times a day (swim, playground, park etc).

kiasimom:

Personally, I think at the age of 5, just let your DS enjoy and play at his own free time.
Timetable can wait till he is older, like P1.

I did that for both my children.

Don't wanna deprive them of their childhood.

Thks, kiasimom. Was feeling kinda guilty cos my DS plays whole day (during hols) while my colleague sends her 6 yr old DD to 6 different enrichment classes (hols or not) each wk. Wondering if I'm not kiasu enough.

SAHM wannabe here. Can I find out from more experienced SAHP if I should have a timetable everyday for DS who is 5? Can share wif me how you spend weekdays wif ur children?

For me I just tendered my resignation letter my boss already asking me go back do some teaching as flexi adjunct in sch. Ask me to do 4 hrs for 2 days each week. But I think I better settle my son’s K2 arrangement 1st cos I just took him out fr childcare.

Hello to all SAHM!!! Newbie here I will be an official SAHM from 31 dec onwards. I dunno whether can take it or not leh...think SAHP very tough job cos 24/7 :?
