along too, and be prepared to join a LONG queue if you pick a popular
school!

SCHOOL TIPS
Its back
to school soon. Get your kids to dust their school bags and ensure they
have done all their holiday homework. They should also pack their bags
- remember to take the B set of books - and check that their school
socks have not gone missing.
Wean your children off their holiday habits of watching television, sleeping in late and lazing about the house. One month is a long time for the younger ones, and you may find that your kindergarten or P1 child is reluctant to go back to the tight schedule of early mornings, spelling drills and homework assignments. Give her gentle reminders so that back-to-school days will not be traumatic!
