Foreverfriends Honey,
I am very unhappy with the 听写 list too...some of the characters are way too tough for K2. Can you believe 长长的地毯 as one of them ??

Hi Mummies,
It's almost the end of the year &amp; K2...my daughter will be having her year end graduation concert next year. Can't wait to see her performance on stage.
She doesn't want to leave kindy, telling me she hopes there is a K3.
 
Janet
Ya the 听写 list is very tough - 章鱼,螃蟹,海豚, 警察,蝴蝶,昆虫,etc I can't even write some of the words

Hmmm??? Year end graduation concert next year? Is it next week? My son had his last Sat

Your girl so cute, hope there is K3
lol.gif
That shows that her teacher treats her well and she enjoys studying Good
 
Last night she brought back her graduation photo. Then i realised time flies so fast... 4 years in CCC coming to end soon... and around 2 1/2 more mths she's a Primary School kids already.

Begin to worry. Will she able to cope in school. Managed to buy food to eat or not ( cos she is a super picky and slow eater) etc....

Worse thing is... all these is beyond our control..

My boy super picky and eat very slow unless he is in a hurry to watch TV programme. Then he eats a little bit and say full already. Can't eat more
We plan to let my boy bring food to school

Ocean
Ya 听写 very difficult and I have a hard time teaching my boy. Have to find way to split the word and help him to remember
Why need to bring cash during orientation?

Y'dy received a letter fm my boy's cc They r going to do prj on Pr school. Ea kid hv 2 bring pencil case wif stationary specified in the letter n a wallet wif $2 note, $1, 50 cents, 20 cents, 10 cents coins. Teacher wanna simulate buying food during lunch time fm Nov onwards. N they will phase out nap time in Dec. I m v glad they prepare the K2 kids for P1

Any 1 send your child 2 chinese enrichment class?
 
Foreverfriends Honey,
I think bring cash to school is to buy uniforms n textbook bah....

Found a centre to teach her solely on HYPY for 12 lessons. Wanna to make sure she was read those HYPY. Was told that begining of P1 all the chinese textbook is only HYPY.

Ya.. i think i shoud let her bring food to school also.
 
Zennying
Oh ya right. Hv to buy text books and uniform. Is it a must to buy text book fm school or we can buy fm Popular? Is it cheaper to buy outside?

You gal's kindy didn't teach her 汉语拼音?

Hmmm.... Chinese textbook only 汉语拼音 That's bad hor. Wif 汉语拼音, one learn to read only. After all, Chinese words are made up of Chinese character

Bring food safer. P1 kids may not b able to buy food, find seat n finish food within the break time. More worried if the food is hot. I remember last time I bot food wif hot soup or hot sauce, hv to b very careful when carry the bowl ard. I wz in upper primary then
 
She kindy do teach them 汉语拼音. But is those very basic ones like a e i o u .. b p m f .. d t n l .. etc...

If you ask her to read a bit difficult. That's y i want her to master the basic. At least able to read.

As for textbook... I will buy from the school sure wont get the wrong ones
biggrin.gif
. Just grab n go... of course need to q lah...
 
Shook,
Ashley's cc even better. Must bring $1 coin, $2 and $5 notes and ezi link card. They will take bus from cc to compass point and buy food from food court and visit the library. Then the daddy best, said, "wa, bring so much money!!! The last time i go school only get 50 cents!"
 
Zennying
My son's school started to have 汉语拼音"spelling" since beginning of this month. Initially tough to teach him. Now getting better. He still mixed up j and z, x and s, He always use w instead of u
angry.gif
But 汉语拼音 is definitely easier than 听写

B2B3M4
Wow, min $1. Ashley's cc is rich man cc.
Tell daddy now food court food easily $3 - $5 leh.
Chen Chen's cc brot kids for certain field trips by MRT. They walk fm cc to MRT station not shuttle bus to MRT station
 
Hi Mummies,
My gal just had her graduation concert last Friday...having an extra day at home today.

For P1, the first 1/2 year is on hanyu pinyin. Textbooks are sold in Popular...you enjoy 5% discount...but troublesome running both places because you would still have to go back to the school to buy exercise books, uniforms and some other workbooks not allowed for sale in Popular.
I usually tick the books I want &amp; date I prefer to pick up, then fax back to the vendor in charge. On that day, I'll go to the school, check the books and pay. Same goes for uniforms.
 
Er.. sorry, what is C.C? Community Centre? Childcare Centre?

Janet,
5% discount is cos got Popular card is it? I dun have Popular card leh..

Wow, look like most kids have graduation ceremony. Mine din wan to participate and thus no need to go... Weird... i thot the graducation is for the kids.. but if never participate, the kid no need to go...
sad.gif


Shook,
Yap, money is to buy exercise book, pay for name tag, etc. Have receive forms from the school and was told parents are allowed to go to school for the first 2 days. And there is a list of items to bring on first day of school.

A pity there is no book list... if have, i can go and start check price liao. Kekekee...

Dear All,
 
Oceans,
I'm not sure whether the 5% is for those with Popular card.

CC stands for childcare.

Booklist should be given on day of orientation. As for textbooks, I will check with Popular if they have most of the books, then can save a little (got 2 kids).

Janet
Did u cry on your girl's graduation ceremony? Suprisingly I didn't. I was too busy looking for my boy, looking after the younger one and snapping pic. My hubby is the videographer
Aiyo, now then saw your post. I already pre-order and paid for the books to the school supplier. My hubby din want the hassle of buying fm separate source. Btw, how do u ensure that text book fm Popular is the same as that fm school supplier? Will there b different edition? Saw some mummies buy text books fm this forum
Do u mean get text books fm Popular, can get 5% discount for non member and 15% discount for member?

Ocean
How come your child don't wanna perform? Stage freight? Mine din wanna perform initially coz he too tired of the performance. Performed every yr since N1. Told him this is your graduation ceremony. It's for u. It's once in his life time. If he miss, dat's it. No turning back So he agreed to perform
Do u mean your child's school allow parent to sit in for 1st 2 days? The school v gd, let u know wat to bring. I din receive such info. Hopefully, get such info during orientation coming sat. If not, I ask them

Ocean, Janet
Popular member card entitle to 10% discount
 
Foreverfriends Honey (shook)
Dun noe leh... my gal jus told me she does not want to perform. Stage fright, shouldnt be cos she got "stage experience"... ever join those C.C Ethnic Group competition and received trophy from MP.
happy.gif


Anyway, i guess it it the parent (ME) who felt disappointed bah. Hahhaaa...
biggrin.gif


O, Popular card got 10% discount? I hope to apply for student card leh cos it is cheaper.
lame.gif


Janet,
U going for orientation tmr hor?
happy.gif
 
Shook,
O, i not sure if allow parent to sit in full day, but it stated that we can be there for first 2 days.
happy.gif


Yap, not only the list but also the class that my gal will be in and the dentist form...

All these school thingy sounds exicting..
happy.gif
 
Ocean
Wow your girl received trophy from MP. Wu hu!! Probably she found no kick performing for her graduation.
Hmm... what student card?
Your girl's school very detail, even dentist form... When is the orientation?
 
Shook,
Kekkee... yap, quite surprise that she was the champion and received the troph from Minister of Health.
happy.gif
Think maybe cos she was the smallest size bah..

O, the popular card, they got adult membershipe and student membership. Cheaper to get student membership.
happy.gif
Kekkee...

And yes, the school very detailed hor. Asked parents to approval for dentist, and details such as alternative location for school uniform and dates for bookstop's operating hrs are provided.

Her orientation next week. Was thinking lucky is next week, cos i was quite sick this week.

Btw, when ur orientation? Wonder how long will tat be leh..
 
Foreverfriends Honey,
I think my eyes were wet when I saw her performing on stage and receiving the scroll.

As for books, Popular card members enjoy 5% discount for buying school textbooks. Called Popular to enquire the availability of some books from the list...not avail there, so I pre-ordered from school vendor instead. After all, have to buy exercise books, school badge, report book and also uniforms...troublesome to run 2 places.

I didn't attend orientation...hubby brought daughter there. Son had operation, so I accompanied him. Discharged yesterday...now slowly recovering.

Hubby called me during the orientation regarding the approval for school dentist.
 
Mummies,
Daughter's school has this 'recess package'...P1 students get their food for first 4 days and eat in the classroom...then they will have a P5 buddy.

If you can wait for your kids' student card, it would be better bcos student membership for Popular is cheaper.

Hi Ocean,
How are you ? How's your child adapting to P1 ?
My daughter received the booklet for immunization...just signed it for approval and submitted her health booklet.
 
Janet,
So fast got immunization?

My gal ok. Just tat her handwriting was so ugly that sometimes, really dun noe what she is writing.

Btw, P1 spelling is difficult. Not only must rem how to spell, but mus know how to use it.

Their spelling was in form of filling in the blank.

Eg, if the words tested are "Barks" and "Cow", my gal will be tested as:-

Dog ________ and ________ moos.

So, she need to fill in the blanks using one of the words tested for spelling.

For Chinese spelling, it is worst. All hanyu pinyin. No chinese character, jus hanyu pinyin... gooosh.... stress...
 
Ocean,
Daughter's jab will be given after CNY.
Spelling for Term 1 are 10 words...the whole spelling booklet from Term 1 to 4 are given...but I don't want to stress myself. Your gal's spelling is tough.

As for CL spelling, this Wed is first one. No chinese character, only hanyu pinyin...BTW, it will be nothing but hanyu pinyin for first 6 weeks. 'a e o i u' with the 4 different tones.
 
Janet
Do u mean student card can get discount for purchases at Popular?
There is no news about immunisation fm my son's school

Ocean
Spelling in your gal's school is tough. Not only test on spelling, test on understanding of the word as well. Good in a way to ensure kids know what is the meaning of the word instead of just the spelling. They will forget the words if they merely learnthe spelling

My son's school has English spelling every week but 听写 is not weekly. 听写 is on 汉语拼音. My son forgets all the chinese characters he learned after learning 汉语拼音 in K2. Argh.... I have to teach him chinese characters all over again. He is like back to K1 standard for Chinese
 
Foreverfriends,
Once your child receives the student card, apply for the Student membership at Popular. 10% for assessment books, 20% discount in June/Dec (coupon is from Pop magazine). 5% discount on textbooks.

Daughter's EL spelling has 10 words...I split into 2 days for her to learn. 听写 also 2 days.
What she has learnt in preschool all returned to the teacher.
 
Janet
Does student membership enjoy higher discount? Is there a limit on the items that can be purchased?

My son's spelling is 10 words. But the words are easy for him. I v ks. I give him spelling and 听写 complete list at one time and 2 wks in advance. His 听写 will be weekly from Feb onwards
 
Foreverfriends,
Standard 10% discount on assessment books whole year round. No limit of items to be purchased.
20% with cut out coupon in June &amp; Dec on assessment books, story books and stationery in June/Dec. Worth while applying for the Popular membership.
 
Forever friends,
My gal doesn't like hanyu pinyin, bcos she feels that it's not Chinese but yet not phonics. I told her it will help her to find characters, which is why it is impt to learn. Electronic dict uses hanyu pinyin to find characters so she has to master it during the 6 weeks. Poor girl.

Foreverfriends Honey (shook)

HI juzkiyomi,
I applied for just 1 Popular membership card under my son's name...just renewed for another 3 years in Dec. Got hubby to apply Maybank Family &amp; Friends credit card to enjoy 5% cashback...10 years free subscription.
 
Hi parents,

I am a mom with a daughter currently in K2 &amp; looking for 2-3 parents with children of similar age who are keen in P1 preparatory classes conducted by a teacher near Holland Village. I’ve attached the link here: http://www.littleinkpot.com/primary-1-preparatory-class-new.html

Do let me know if anyone of you are keen in the Sunday timeslot as she will only start the class with at least 2 children and my daughter is currently the only one enrolled. Similarly, if you know of another such class with a program as good as this one in the Central/West area, please let me know too.

It's already approaching June and think I want to prepare my girl for P1...

Thanks in advance!
Angela

<font color="0077aa">Hi mummies

I need some advice here. If you have an only girl, will you put her in a mix / all girls school? Please provide your reason if you choose a mix / all girls school.

My girl is basically rather shy, so i do not know if putting her in a all girls school is a good choice.</font>
 
Hmm... i got 2 gals. Will put in mix school bah. More exposure i guess.
happy.gif
Plus nearby my place dont have girl school leh.
lame.gif
 
How's everyone coping?
happy.gif


When I saw this year balloting, I am glad that my gal is to be enrol last year. Cos the stress level this year is higher. There is so many pple hoping to get a place in the school...
 
Dear Purin,

I would put her in an all-girls' school, but also make sure that she has the opportunity to interact occasionally with members of the opposite sex. I think putting kids in a mixed school gives them too much opportunity to form romantic attachments at a very young age.

At the same time, I guess she does need to mix with boys too, so that she has a more well-rounded social perspective. There's always this innate tension between wanting to let children go and wanting to shelter them.
 
wondering any mummies with kids enrolled in the afternoon session, but because your kid needs to attend student care centre in the morning, so have to tag along with students of the morning session in the school bus?

really headache over this coz the timing to take school bus is not confirmed but would be between 600-630am. imagine he must wake up early to catch the school bus to go student care centre yet school ends late coz he's in the afternoon session...

btw i have no car. and taking public transport will be about 7 busstops, troublesome when it rains. any advise of a better solution?
