This practice started in 2020 ( COVID) as students need to wear masks, and weather may be hot. No mention if it's permanent.

Thank you for sharing! I hope this change will be made permanent. It does help our kids learn better in this warm and humid climate.

Hi Parents,

Not sure what year your DD is in but I have heard from my DD some teachers do give work before teaching the topic.
But very seldom and DD does not complain, of course if have tuition some gals might already have started on the topic.

DD did not get tuition in Y1-Y2 for maths, but for Y3 she had some issues with A maths so we let her attend Tuition for A maths.( or they call maths 2 or something)

Hi Sob7,
Thank so much for replying! She’s in Y1 and I just want to know if it’s a common practice. It might be a little challenge for the girls to start a new way of learning, I hope she will adapt to it. Otherwise all other subjects seems ok. May I know if math tuition is better to get 1:1 or go for IP math group tuition? I’m really clueless about it. Thanks!

It's normal to be concerned, you can always check up with her if she can handle the workload.
The gals can always ask their teachers if they do not understand the lessons, teachers are approachable.
But let her tell you if she has difficulties

I have heard of this! I believe it is called \"flipped learning\". But my daughter has not told me if her Y1 math teacher is utilizing this teaching pedagogy in RGS.

My daughter choose to continue with the IP math lessons at NickleBee Math, which she also attended when she was in primary school. IP math tuition class size is limited to 2 or 3 students.

Hi,


What are the subject combinations available in Y3-4? What are the Eng Lit texts used in Y3-4? Thanks.
