hi jamie,
we had to purchase a tailor made costume months ago. I think the practice should have started.
hi elaine,
oh, then could october closure be for the rehearsal? BTW, ntuc income center stage is really nice, mmi already had concerts there for past 2 years. At the end of the show, they will open up the back curtain and while teacher and students perform, you could see the perfect view of the whole marina, merlion area. You could bring camera along to take photos but not necessary video. As the school will engage professional to do the video recording but need to purchase. I think around $20 for the disc.

i agree with the others, shd seriously consider changing school. i really cant tolerate such behaviour fr this bully & the school cant do anyting abt it!
your princess so poor thing, means everyday hv to check to see if there's any "new" bruises or cut kenna in school ah? its definitely the parents responsibility to discipline their child but the school must also be firm to the parents. i really buay tahan that the school refused to do anything abt it. still got the cheek to tell u C has learnt to protect herself after kenna all these fr that bully!! u shd consider bbethan's suggestion, tell tina u will withdraw C if nothing will be done to resolve this. kids are suppose to learn & hv fun in school, not to get bullied & suffered!

the school concert in shaws are only for K1 & K2 students.

I've heard of such unreasonable parents before. Super stuck up parents. Honestly it won't help if you spoke to the parents, they will snap back at you unless you are able to "fight them back with words". Someone I knew changed their son from my older girl's CC when he was K2. He was adjusted to place and it was his last year but still.... as parents you'll feel relieved.
As for schools in P1. If you join the Hokkien clan hoping to get into Tao Nan.. you have to make sure you're in there longer than 5 years.

Hi mummies,
Tina did try her best already and informed the parents abt all these bt seem that the parents are not doing any thing....also tina told me partly is her fault as she promised b4 that every monday or so she will check on An an's nails bt I said this is not the point....is not her role to check An An's nails...shld be her Parents.....yes, her parents are beri stuck up and my hb dun like them.....
when tina told me that C also now become agreesive etc I was not happy bt after that was thinking she shld be agreesive at times and cannot always let other bully her.........Tina and me kept telling C dun take An An's things or if An An wants let her hv it...bt thinking this shld not be the case....as why shld C always let An An hv it...An An shld learn to share and behave herself!!!
I hv been wanting to chg school for C bt she refused as she is comfortable with the teachers etc there.......
I did give slight hint to Tina bt she said kids are like that bound to hv this kind of things happened in school...I understand that bt I just can't tolerate An An and her parents!!!!
If I see An An's parents again I will tell them to teach their daughter and check her nails...Tina already called a lot of times to her parents already abt her nails bt they simply bo chap!!!!!

did C take a long time to adapt to the cc when she first joined? hv u brought her to other cc to take a look?
i do agree to some extent with Tina that such things happened in sch. in the prev cc that we first enroled Ethan in earlier, there's one boy who's constantly bullying all the kids everyday. and the teachers do nothing at all cos 1) they r shorthanded and 2) they gave up hope on him. i believe it happens everywhere... difference is the seriousness and how much u can tolerate.
hv u ever talked to their parents? i doubt they will do anything even if u tell them off.
also i dun think i'll be happy to know if ethan has learnt to be aggressive in this manner. at their age, they pick up things easily n maybe the wrong way. yes...they shd learn to be aggressive when they r bullied. but what happens if they become aggressive to everyone just becos someone bullied and it becomes a habit. then they become another An An.
in fact, i realised that Ethan has become very irritable since he started cc. wonder if any of yr kids r like this. in sch, he's kwai kwai. but once he reached home or during weekend, he gets very irritable very easily. cries n throw tantrums at the slightest thing. is this becos of cc or is it a stage that they r going thru before they learnt to talk n express themselves or is it becos of #2?

hi jamie,
that's nice, nursery also got show. I don't think can make it to the concert, will just watch the vcd that they sell to parents.
Hi lily,
thanks.
hi nuahcouple,
kids adapt to changes quite fast. She might cry at new cc but should adapt soon. Leaving her at the current cc might seems worst in this case.
Hi babyethan,
this is a passing phase, i also encounter during the early stage. Then when outgrown, will be ok. In school could be peer pressure and teacher pressure, so they behave very kuai.
Hi elaine,
glad they like cherie hearts, when will they switch?

same sentiments as smallbell, not changing cc may seems worst coz now C already started to be agressive & learning all those scratching & pitching others in school which are not right!
elaine
good to know that the kids like cherie hearts, transition will be easier then.

yup, was surprised u call me
glad that the issue has been resolved.
i also think to start the kids in dec coz its school holidays, i assume u "off" fr work. u mean u still need to go back to school?
it would be good to stay around with SZ for the 1st few days as its her 1st time in school.

jamie,
most likely i will leave both of them in e new sch n will not accompany them cos if i am in SiZhen's class n Zhaohui happens to see me then he will sure want me to follow him. SiZhen is still much more independent than Zhaohui.

hi smallbell,
ya Thank you for e colouring book
later me n hubby will drop by cherie heart to take a look again.... hubby wants to see e teacher n children during curriculum time, if everything is alright then we will sign them up today.
As for mmi hubby decided to let ZH stay till end of e yr then change him only in Jan. I alright with it cos I'm really getting very worried recently about the moving of my clinic during e last wk of nov n 1st wk of dec then if they change sch in dec and e maid leave once after tat.... I'm so vexed abt all these....
so if jan then they get into e new CC, maid leave, school reopen.... at least i think is still better than crushing with e moving part...

hi elaine,
welcome. Opps, you mean your maid is confirm leaving too? will it be too sudden for both kids, as i am sure they are also attached to maid. Then sudden change of environment plus maid leave, they might feel sad or shock with so many changes at the same time.

hi elaine,
Oh good, the combine fees is much cheaper than if you were to get another maid. As for housework, you can get part time maid help.
hi jamie,
chloe is so brave. Patrick opens the main door to run out of the house when the earthquake occur and refuse to stay at home.

hi mummies
i intend to start my 2.5yr old with playschool/nursery soon.
wanted to enrol him in mother-toddler class at MMI, Mei called me 2months ago to say class starting 10 Oct (tom), but now she MIA!!
have been trying to reach her since last month, each time her staffs say she's still in US, and they dunno abt the mother-toddler class arrangement.
so, here i am... waiting and waiting until neck long long.
decided to enrol my boy elsewhere instead.
as he has never attended any class before, would prefer to start him with 1-2hr classes on saturdays.
any suggestions/recommendations around katong?
