Hi Chosun,


Thanks for the update. In that case my gal will have to check with her teacher tomorrow.

By the way, any idea why some gals are asked to move to another class for MT?

This is the reply I received from one of the teacher in Marymount in regards to Chinese MT lesson
\"I believe the Chinese classes are banded so that teachers are more able to cater to the needs of the student. It will have in the differentiation of the lessons. \"

Hi,Obisana


I am DD daddy, my girl is in P1 Zeal too. Btw, dear parents, I have notice for children taking the school bus home. Some children is not sitting down with their seat belt buckle up and can see some children walking around in the bus when is moving. Some bus operator do not have assistance and the bus driver did not make sure the children have their seat belt buckle up.

Please advise your DD to seat and not move around when the bus is moving, This is very dangerous. Hope the school principal and teacher do highlights to our DD on this issue.

Hi winzky66,
Glad to know some parent from 1 zeal

My DD only say English spelling will start week 3 Tuesday, so it’s 21 Jan?

My DD shared about how her Chinese teacher carry out oral conversation individually with them on second day of school. The girls have to go to teacher's table one at a time like oral exam like that kind. I suppose she is gauging the girls' standard of Chinese. My DD said there were 3 questions. First question my DD catch no ball and didn't answer till her teacher has to ask her in English if my DD understands. Too bad she doesn't understand what the teacher was asking her and said don't know. 2nd question was asked about the favourite colour. My DD told her teacher red was her favourite colour. I asked my Dd, hey isn't pink your favourite colour? Guess what my DD said? \"I forgot how to say pink in Chinese so I just said 红色。*LOL* Omg, pink is 粉红色 ，my dd forgotten her colours in Chinese already. Last question was about how many family members in the family. That one she knows for sure. Hope the Chinese teacher can tell the class more Chinese stories as a way to improve the Chinese Language and for the children to be interested in the language.


When I asked my DD what was her Chinese teacher name, my Dd replied,\"The Chinese teacher introduced herself on first day but on second day she did not introduce herself again so I forgot her name.\" *LOL*

Then another funny incident. My DD told me she has a Spider-man PE/HE teacher. I was like what?! Then my DD said his face was like Spider-Man. Really? But I heard that teacher is very fit and athletic-looking.

My DD also asked me why her classroom was so boring without any toys to play. :? She asked me if her teacher hid the toys somewhere. *LOL*

Sembgal, did you daughter stay put in the class for chinese?
My DD said those who cannot answer correctly need to go to other class ?

My DD asked me to guess her PE teacher name, she gave me the clue.
\"It is one of the chipmunks name, the smartest one

Any mummies girl in 1 zeal ?

Sigh should be more chatty during orientation day where parents went to the classroom to fill out forms.

ryes:

I was hoping someone knows lor Hw many balloted more than 2km. At least have a gauge n feel of how high chances are.

I guess can only wait till 14 aug then I will be able to know how high chances are.

And yes, CC is the other alternative I have in mind.
But certainly we prefer MM

:rahrah: All the best ryes

Hi Sembgal, do u mean there is a possibility that the girls will stay on at the current MCS's premise while construction is on-going?


Also do you have any idea what time does school ends each day for the P1 and P2 girls. I am still thinking if I should pick up my girl from school myself or let her take the school bus as I am worried that she may reach home every night at 8pm or later. :<

Hi Freellie, Obisana here
I'm the one who said the holding site/ temp location just behind the current school. It will not be in the current premises, but it's nearby.

If I'm not wrong school hour is 12:15-6:30 MON-THU, and 12:15-5:30 FRI.

[quote=\"ryes\"]Hi sembgal


Are u around? Do u know Hw many seats are left for 2c sup?
I was unsuccessful this morning for my balloting

As per MOE website, MCS still have 26 seats left for 2CS.
Last year, MCS had 24 seats left for 2CS and ballot for SC outside 2KM.

Baby snow, there no balloting at Marymount.
I meant I was unsuccessful at another sch.

Hi obisana, then out of these 24, how many seats were balloted for more than 2km n how many applicant?

Need to know my chances now[/quote]Hi ryes, I don't have the figure on how many seats were balloted for more than 2km last yr. I cannot recall to see it in the forum too.
The registration for phase 2CS will only start next wk (13-14 Aug).
If you want online registration is starting from 9.00 am on 9 August 2013 to 4.30 pm on 13 August 2013.
Maybe you can call the school on Monday 12 Aug, and check with the school how many online application they have received over the weekend?

Other alternative, you can try for Canossa Convent Primary School?
Last year, there were 39 places left for phase 2CS, balloted for PR children residing outside 2km of the school.

ryes:

Also where exactly is the temp location at tpy lor 1?

I heard from Belinda, MCS admin manager that the relocation is not confirmed yet subject to fund raising dinner.
The temp location is just behind the currect school.
