cody, sun_2010: yes there was a test on last friday. it was mentioned before the cny hols in the diary and a reminder was also given the week after the cny hols.


DS also mentioned about the maths quiz which was held late last month (if i remember correctly).

Anyone with child from 1E by the way?

Any of you sign your kids up for the Han Yu Pin Yin enrichment programme to be conducted by the service provider?

No. I chose not to.

My initial plan was not to sign up for it but upon reading, I realised the programme will be conducted on Wednesday during Contact Time. Since DS takes the school bus to school, he reaches at 12.15. Instead of spending time in the hall watching cartoons, thought it will be good if he goes for it.

DS is going to have his 2nd Maths Topical Test today. Are the other classes too? My DS is just as blur too. Guess they are still grabbling with the new phase of life.

Sun_2010: My DS managed to wake up on New Year’s eve morning. Guess he was excited too. Holiday is over and everything is back to normal again.


MrAYeo: Very strange that your boy’s teacher did not inform you of the cancellation. So did he go to school on that day with his outing bag or school bag?

Oh so sad. The zoo trip was cancelled last minute due to the heavy downpour. the teacher called at about 11 am to inform the bad news.


I understand that it will be postponed to after CNY.

Sun_2010: My boy is attending private swimming lessons on Sunday evening.

Tomorrow is CNY eve and my poor boy has to wake up at about 5.30 am. School van will pick him up at about 6.15 am.

I have bought a set of traditional costume for him to wear tomorrow, what about all of you?

Yes it was very sad for the kids when they cancelled the trip yesterday. I had taken leave to be a parent volunteer and was getting ready to leave when I received a call around 11.30 to say that the trip was cancelled. So after dropping of my disappointed DS I went to work.

DS will be wearing a traditional costume. Only feel that the school shoes will clash with the outfit :)(that is Mummy being vain; don't think the kids care!). Don't know how I can going to get him to wake up so early in the \"dark dark morning\" ( as DS calls it).

Which class is your son in? Mine's in I Diligence.

I also took childcare leave and all set to go with the kids. After seeing my boy off, I did some last minute shopping instead of going back to work.

My boy's school shoes will not match the outfit too. Guess he will not be bothered too. He has been singing the new year songs which they have been practising in school. I will remind him again tonight that he has to wake up real early tomorrow morning so as to prepare him mentally.

My boy is in 1 Enthusiasm. Next to your boy's class.

Thanks! That was very informative!

I'm surprised that gym shorts are accepted thru out the day since it's not mentioned anywhere in the school rules.

Is 4 times a week PE the norm for the older kids too?
I thot it was for the P1s only but if it holds true for P1-6, that'd be good.
More exercise ie time away from books is great!

Hi Cody,

Mybaby is right. My boy wears his gym shorts for both gym and PE. Hence, he is practically in his gym shorts the whole week except Thursday (when his class has no PE nor gym). If I knew that the P1s are going to have 3 days of PE and a day of gym, I would have bought more gym shorts for him when we purchased the school uniform. I ended up going to the bookshop again on the second week to purchase two more pairs of gym shorts after knowing that he has physical exercise 4 days a week.

One thing which I do not like about the gym shorts is the lack of pockets. I would like my boy to carry a handkerchief with him everyday so that he can wipe his hands after washing or clean his month after eating. Without the pocket, my poor boy will not have his handkerchief or tissues with him if his school bag is not near him.

I like the part whereby the school schedules physical exercise 4 times a week. More exercise = healthier and happier kids.

I will be going to the zoo with the kids on Monday as a parent volunteer too. Looking forward to it.

Hello Morinosuke, Sun_2010 and Cody,


I'm sorry for the late reply.

I did not put my boy in any CCA as we do not stay near Henry Park and I would like him to get used to his P1 life first.

However, he attends swimming lessons and goes for piano on weekends. These are his CCAs currently.

How are all your children coping with P1 studies so far?

Mine just had his Ting Xie yesterday.

Will you all be going for the first LJ? I intend to join them on 31 May. Any of you also going as parent volunteer?

I also hope the part on starting at 8.30 am next year is going to be true.

Hello,


My boy is currently in 1E, any parents with children in the same class?

May I ask if any of the P1 kids took up CCA? Been receiving letter on CCA registration, not sure if any of you parents are sending your kids for CCA from P1?
