SJKC Lick Hung Parents' Q&A Support Group

[Fledgeling]

Not to spoil the holiday mood....but have any parents tried any of the 'Holiday Camps' offered by the various enrichment centers e.g. Music Camp, BM camp etc? Only 3 to 5 days laaa.... still can have holidays before or after...

Hahahaha .... The currymee auntie always said to me that she doesn't like school holidays - her lunch time and breakfast business at Choy Kee goes down almost 50 % - same also for Kett Star, Hock Hin etc ... like it or not, Lick Hung school and its "shopping" parents are an integral part of the SS19/6 community business ...

The only thing that puzzles me is WHY DID THE McDonalds (now replaced by Speedmart99) close down ? I would expect it to do a roaring business !!

Last Sunday went to Choy Kee - Tai Chow also full house and currymee auntie still full of energy taking orders.

I think the shop under MacD feng shui not so good, curving at the junction.

fRaNkY and chookyan,

Thanks for the info on McD - just surprised that it went bust - used to be my favourite McD joint when I first moved down to SJ/USJ

Report Card Collection - NEXT TERM

I think most of you will know this by now from the kids. This post is just to reconfirm as I have spoken to a few teachers about it - ok, I spoke to one teacher and there were another 3 hanging around her

The McD outlet belongs to my friend's daughter,use to rent about RM17K for 10 years contract.Business is no no good,as Tupai points out earlier in other post,all the transporter and auntie use to take up all the seats available just to chit chat- free a/con mah.It also applies to Baker's cottage bakery.

My son seems to be suffering from regular blisters and swollen fingers from writing too much - does any other child also suffer from the same problem ?

Any solution or remedy ?

Could he be holding the pencil the wrong way? Maybe pressed too hard?

Yes, I do agree with Birdy, please check how he is holding the pencil, might just be straining a bit too much.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE !!

Have a nice and good break everyone !! See you all the week after next

Silly question but is there such a thing as a proper way to hold a pencil ?

Please enlighten IF there is any figures/diagrams as an example.

Actually, on the 1st day of school, the class teacher has taught the children the right way to hold pencil

Oh! I did not know that - thanks , I will ask my son later when he gets back from school. I hope he still remembers what was taught back in Std 1 as he has been complaining of the blisters especially when there is a ton of homework !!

I resorted to using plasters as a "cushion"

Google "how to hold a pencil correctly" and there are lots of images.

I even have a guidebook...look very ancient and in chinese.
All my kids hold the pencil wrongly, even though they started correctly at Kindy. I may be wrong but somehow noticed that most Chinese school kids end up holding too close to the bottom of the pencil.

When attempt to correct the grip, they said even more tiring ! Very hard to correct...even with the book to prove them wrong.

Hi Akiyoshi,

Thanks for the tips and suggestions - yes, you are right, my son is having the SAME problem as well - holding the pencil too close to the bottom
