Hi Chickenlittle,

My son's form tr also gave a list of activity n ex books, files to be handed in but no Art materials as yet,I also hv her direct line but she didn't say anything about preparing our sons for the core subjects.......she's more into discipline...to pay attention n not to talk when the teacher is talking :boogie:

Winnie

my son received English spelling list today... :nailbite:...but no instructions when teacher is gonna start lei :roll: or maybe my son didnt pay attention when teacher is saying :? ...

Joyce / Winnie : how abt ur dear sons?...

btw anyone went for the CCA day today?[/quote]

ChickenLittle,
The spelling will start Week 4. My son's spelling is every Friday ,so his first spelling is on 27 Jan.
No, I didn't go for the CCA Day as I had to attend my dd's Sec 1 orientation later that evening.
Btw,have you bought the social studies small readers n the student's folio yet?

Hi all,

Glad to see that the new P1s are settling in Since my DS doesn't come in until 2013, just wondering what the class sizes are in 2012? Are all the classes full up, and did they cut numbers? Are there lots of foreign students?

Hi tootsieroll,
I think most classes hv around 30 students(max). My son's class has only 29 if I'm not wrong. There are a handful of Chinese nationals and Filipinos in his class.....

chickenlittle:

hi Winnie n Joyce...great to meet u all today...how's ur son's first day??...


i was very please tat my son form teacher has requested us to bring most of the books including Art n materials to be kept in class so as to lighten the sch bag load...i really applause tat...

she oso gave us her office direct line n told us we can call her as often whenever we need to clarifications....

but one thing i felt stress was she hopes tat we parents can further support her by preparing our son for the core subjects before hand so tat her lessons can go on as smoothly as possible...

p



pls do share wif me

Yes, I called up to change to return trip only.


Don't worry....I don't send my kids to any enrichment classes....I teach them myself
Yeah,and my dd(Sec 1 next year) is definitely more teachable and reads more than my son...

r u working? or SAHM??....

do u know what our son need to bring for 1st day of school?...what time will u reach school??...maybe can intro ourselves n let our son become friends [/quote]

I'm an ex-school teacher,giving tuition part time.
According to the slip of paper given to us, they just need to bring pencil case and colour pencils the first week of school.
Should reach school around 7am? Maybe can sms when either party is there alredi U still hv my number right?

I went to Popular to get his textbooks and they told me that the books are not in yet.

Yeah...time really flies! Somehow, I feel more apprehensive than when my daughter first entered P1 six years ago :nailbite: Praying that my son will be able to wake up at 6am without being grouchy..
Will see how it goes.... prob will not sign him up for any CCA as yet.

i m oso feeling apprehensive than my son :nailbite: reason being nowadays kids are more well prepared as compared to my elder son's time (year 2004)

i still vividly remember i din even send my elder son (now 14 yrs old) for any enrichment and he was able to do everything and learnt everything from school teachers

for my younger son, every parents whom i knew had sent their kids for so many enrichment lessons that really freaks me out :yikes: ...i too became kiasu, but i only sent my younger son for phonics at I Can Read so as to prepare him for the reading.

btw Winnie...did u changed ur son school bus to return trip only ??...[/quote]

Hi, I’m wondering how school bus fare is computed? Isn’t it based on distance? I’m paying $74 for a 2 way trip from my place at Hougang to Montfort Junior whereas somebody who is staying at SengKang is paying only $69. Can somebody enlighten me? Thanks!
