Kiss, Yo0638:

I see. I teach hence my working days will be the school's days. haha..

teachers don't have leave per say unless its like compassionate leave for immediate family members, or child care... my off days will be the sch hols unless my sch wants teachers back which is often.

So... it is almost impossible to sign up with the parent support group. :

But do share what are some of the things that you have to do as parent volunteer when you get called up.
(

You are a teacher , you can give us tips on what to look out for as well , kidding

They have yet to email me... I did call the sch and they said it is managed by the parents. Asked me to email them again.... :razz:

[krazy]

I wish I could. I teach in a secondary school so I do not know the primary school system that well. Will try to ask some of my teacher friends.

err... i didnt sign up for the parent support group... would love to but... work lah.. will not be able to take time off to volunteer.

krazy, I was thinking of helping on ad hoc basis and taking off days for it

Yo0638:

Hi Mummies,

My gal is in P1 this yr as well. She told me she has a locker in school to put things that they do not need? Any idea what is their locker for? I asked if it is to keep their books but she says no.

Welcome Yo0638

the locker is to help them with the bag load. Example, if they dont need the text books or the workbooks doesn't have homework for them, they can leave it in the locker instead of bringing back & forth. There isn't a lock on it. so far no one stole... (sch said) so it is pretty safe. just don't leave valuables in the locker.

BGKids:

Hi all,

My dd is also in p1 this year and I happen to chance upon this thread.
We are glad that she is adjusting well and loves the school.

Welcome BGkids :)!

Thanks a lot! I am trying to be more involve in my kid's school life so hopefully all the parents can help me along the way in this thread. I asked my DD last night about the locker but apparently she is unaware of it.

TGIF!!


I am so confused with what the form teacher is getting them to write in the diary. Asking them to bring jotter books and exercise books when it has already been given…

Anyone facing this confusion?

Need to grab another set of PE kit… DD1 is going to be wearing 4 days of PE kit and 1 day of uniform ( I have 3 sets hiaz)

[krazy]

4 days of PE? that's many days... my girl has 3 days of PE but 5 periods of English on Fridays. Many public holidays on Friday and this means her class will be missing a lot of English for the year.


I am not sure if the time table will change in term 2.

hmm.. as for the books, I don't have that large an issue. Her teachers followed the Orientation time table quite closely. Except I was rather confused last night as we packed for today; art file (without drawing block and crayons) I took everything (paints, brushes out) Only let Precious bring an empty art file to school. haha. hope she doesn't get into trouble with her teacher.

Her teacher mentioned that there was no need to buy the Lifeskills file.

[Yo0638]

my gal has 3days of PE. I packed the bag according to the information sheet given on orientation day. But yesterday the teacher only kept the jotter book but not the rest. Today I added in more books for her & it’s quite heavy.

Krazy, i took out everything for the arts file & gave her the empty file as well.
And I have no idea what is lifeskills file. hahaha…

[Drummer]

Hey, I’m confused too… … bring jotter book, exercise book where it’s already been given.


I’ve got 3 days of PE.

[Kissgurami]

3 Days of PE and 1 Day of Ballet (PE attire)


Oooo Art File, I took out the crayons and drawing block and let DD1 bring the art packet with the water colour brush etc.

Yikes… DD1 has 4 periods of english on fridays! I noticed LSP beside English. Is it Learning Support Programme? Everyone has to attend to?
