Pei Chun Public

Hi Parents,


I am new to this thread and also quite new to this forum site too.
My gal just entered P1 this year.
I have a few questions that I hope anyone of you can help me answer.
1) My gal has not got any time-table yet. Hopefully she will get it today when she is back. Does anyone with P1 children here has any info on time-table?
2) How is communication with teachers like? Through email? Or better through the blue notebook? Do the teachers respond quickly?
3) I realize that Pei Chun canteen doesn't serve very nutritious food as opposed to what I have heard that nowadays primary sch canteens serve non-fried food and very health conscious food. But we have noticed that they sell roti prata, fried nuggets, fish balls, and the noodle soup does not have a single vege, and chicken rice has no cucumber. Why is that so? Does anyone has any feedback on this?
4) Is Friday a designated PE day? So every Friday, students have to wear PE tee and shorts to school? No need to bring any skirt and blouse?

Paiseh.. I have asked so many questions.
Appreciate if anyone can enlighten this suaku parent

Time table should be given by now... if not, I think you should contact the FT. And my girl is P2 so I might not be able to help you...

Yes can write down your questions in Pupil's Diary. Different teachers have different responding time so if you wish to get faster response, you may wish to call the teacher directly at their extension.

I am easy with canteen food... Although it might not be the so-called \"ideal\" food but I have no issues.

Every class has different PE lessons on different days. 2 x a week and they are allowed to just wear PE attire on the designated days...

Hi Ilovechubby and Callie,


Thanks for the wonderful advice. So now I know PE lessons are conducted twice a week. I thought it was only on Friday. My gal still have not got any time table, but she told me she would be getting today. I shall wait for it then.

I read from the earlier responses, there seem to be some designated fruit day? I am totally unaware of that. What happens on fruit day?

Another qn: do all pupils need to wear the collar pin? This collar pin was bought together in a package as part of the booklist.

I am so glad I join this forum and thread! Else, I would not have known many ongoings..

Hi simplemum,

We are here to share and exchange info... so feel free to post any questions and if we know the answers, we are more than willing to help!

According to my knowledge, Thursday is the fruit day. It is to encourage and cultivate good habits of taking fruits regularly... Kids are to bring fruits and eat during recess time, together with the FT. Pack unpeeled banana, apples or pears, or grapes or strawberries for your kid to bring to school.

My girl used to wear the collar pin for a few months... she doesn't wear it anymore and apparently it's ok... so I guess it is not compulsary to wear that.

Hi Callie,


Thank you!
My gal brought back her time-table yesterday. Her PE lessons are on Wed and Fri.
For Fruits Day, she was unaware of it. So I shall wait for her to come back and tell me to pack fruits once she is informed

My dd also P1... said the Fruits Day is every Thurs... so will pack some grapes for her tomorrow.
dd also mentioned they had the mini-test today... hope she won't kena extra classes... :xedfingers:

Yes I remember my girl (P1 last year) has taken quite a few tests last year… Initially I was quite concerned.The FT told me there was nothing to worry about, they were just tests to differentiate different learning abilities of the kids.


Extra classes will only be conducted after the MA1… teachers will select the students who need help based on the MA1 results and general work.

Just sharing my experiences… They might be different now.

Hi all, my son is in P1 this year. He has art lessons tomorrow. Does he have to bring all his art stuff like the art plastic file, drawing block, poster color & crayons tomorrow?


Apparently, he has English spelling today. The spelling list was only given to him today as he was newly transferred only on Mon. Any idea when is the English spelling conducted or does it varied with the different classes?

Any parents have obtained the Chi spelling list and when is it conducted weekly?

The art teacher has advised what to bring last week for my dotter art class today, but did not advise what to bring next wk.

As for English Spelling, I think different class has a different date... My dotter English Spelling is on Tuesday. And I dun think there is a Chinese Spelling as I have emailed the teacher to enquire and there is no reply since early this wk...

Hi Terence,which class is yr daughter in and care to share what she need to brought for art lessons?


I emailed the chi teacher about the chi spelling. But,seems like the email address is wrong. Just wondering when you emailed the chi teacher…is yr email phrased in chi?
