To all parents of P1 students, exam is over, yippy! Hope everyone did as well as they could and enjoy the coming holidays. Hope there not much homework for the holidays though, ha ha…

Hi, anyone attended the Maths intro class to Pri 1 parents on Friday? Thought the HOD Ms Lee was really passionate about her work and teaching of maths to kids.


She was very practical to the approach of teaching maths, ie must make your kids to want to learn maths and love it, if not it will be tough forcing them to do the challenging homework!

Hi to all Pri 1 parents, cant help notice that the pace is picking up, the weekly chinese and english spelling… numerous maths topical tests… gearing up for the SA1 in May… hope everyone is staying sane with the amount of homework piling up. Good luck to all of us parents too!

Agree that the teacher sounds fierce but I have to say she is very energetic, hope she can capture the attention of her students… my dd say she quite enjoy the class, and she has not been scolded by teacher yet. Well, if you had walk over to the next class which also had a chinese class on, you will be glad that teachers like Ms Ow Yong exist.


Anyway, hope all the children are coping well with the work load so far, which I felt was not too bad. The assignments are manageable and my dd is happy with the environment, teachers and classmates, thats all we hope for in a school anyway. Happy schooling…

Did anyone attend the PTM on 19 Feb? Now we know why the Pri 1 classes are given names other than ABC etc. The school principal has reasonably good vision and aims, however the HODs seem to be constantly reminding parents that the subject workload will not be stressful and the children will not be stressed in school… I felt very stressed listening to their lecture. Pri 1 Graciousness chinese teacher seems to be very enthusiastic, think its good for our kids… hope she can sustain the energy levels.

Hi, its been 2 hectic weeks in school… how is everyone coping? Seem to have some homework and spelling list is out. DD is writing stuff in her diary for homework and reminders, don’t think we did that during our time in Pri 1! And yes, its 1 Graciousness, not sure if they have dropped 1E for now…

Hi Zioner & raynreg


My DS is in class 1E too. Nice to know u all!

Hi, so nice to hear from you too :D. So we have 3 parents from class 1E. BTW, any idea if 1E comes with the tagline endurance or graciousness??? The letter we received from the teacher (1st day) had a wrong teacher's name (probably cut and paste) and had 1E (graciousness) written. DD says graciousness should be for 1G instead.... we are so confused now!

I had a bad experience on Day 2 of school. I went to the canteen to watch my DD during recess. As I walked ard the canteen perimeter to the lift outside the library, I was on the "wrong" side of a table barrier set up by the PSG volunteers. One parent volunteer (eurasion-looking) saw me, and impolitely asked me to go to the other side immediately. Her tone was aggressive and I was literally cornered against the wall. Thank goodness there was another Chinese parent volunteer intervene, tone the rude fellow down, and politely requested to go the other side. I thot the ang-moh-looking one really gave the PSG a bad name!

Hi Zioner


Happy New Year to you...my DD is in 1E (Graciousness) as well. How's your DD coping in school. Mine forgot to bring her water bottle yesterday during recess :faint: . Luckily the catered meal has ice-milo...heng ah...

Btw your nick is \"Zioner\", are you staying around Zion Road?

Yup, am staying at Zion Road. Nice to hear from you... are you staying there too? Anyway, she is coping well so far, only complain of hunger when school ends. She bought her own bowl of noodles today, so proud of her. My DD sits in the rear right table in class (DD say there are 5 cluster tables with 4-5 students each).

Hi, how’s yr DD or DS first day of school? It was exciting both for my DD and myself! First, I was glad she’s in the PM session, no rush in the morning. Recess was chaotic, more for parents trying to spot their kids. I couldn’t spot her till the last 10 mins of recess. I didn’t see many kids buying their food. Does anyone knows what they sell in the canteen? How much does food cost, so I can gauge how much pocket $ to give? Thx!
