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.[/quote]


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 ??...

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:

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.....

Thanks for the info WD

Feeling a little more reassured now, since my son will unfortunately only qualify for Phase 3 - non Singaporean, even though his mother is born and bred here :xedfingers:
