No letter but they have announced during the assembly. So if the child has a PC or handicap, he/she can approached the teacher for a form to participate. Registration fees borne by parents. Because it is under MOE, so the school will endorse. Besides if the child has lessons with a club, the club will also inform the parents about any competition.

my son used to take up chinese calligraphy too! maybe both our son know wach other

but he quits and join floor ball this year.

No, my son dun play golf. when i first saw your posting, i thought NA provide golf as cca and i would want my DS to join.. :oops:

Hi cholecube

Oh what a waste that he quits the chinese calligraphy! I thought it is good to train their concentration and patience. Moreover, to learn more chinese words. Does your son likes chess? NA engages inchess to teach the kids but we have to pay.
I also hope NA provides Golf as cca too!
How is your son coping in NA? P3 has more work and extra 1 subject.

yes, that is what i thought too, in fact my son was nominated by his Chinese teacher to attend the chinese calligraphy, his chinese teacher is also one of the calligraphy teacher. my son's hand writting is horrendous! but after going for a year, he refused to attend despite my persuasion.
yes, he did tell me abt the chess, but in the end, he chose floor ball.

yup, i can feel the big jump from P2 to P3.
from what i see, he is doing ok for Science, but he needs to buck up on his English and Chinese.
need to check with you, i realised that he doesnt have much homework from school to do everyday. other than the weekly spelling, dictation and tin xie, he has nothing much from school. wondering if your son's homework is like that too.
becos he is not getting much homework everyday, i have to plan my own assessment work for him to do..

Hi cholecube


My son has quite alot of homework. I remembered Maths has Maths Homework and Maths Workbook, besides, process skills too. For English, English learning sheets, English Tests workbook, vocab, grammar. And for chinese, teacher asks to do zhi zhi pao, practice writing, besides the usual workbook. Science also has process skills besides the usual workbook. In fact, seems like everyday he has homework to do. I don’t even have time for assessment work. In fact, sometime seems like not enough time becos after cca and other sch activities, back home already late, so only at nite to do homework plus if at nite he has tuition, that’s it. The worst is if the next day has tin xie, die! Though weekend he can learn, but he is pack with tuition and golf. Oh plus he has to do tuition work too! Seems like not enough time.

indeed, your boy is very busy!
strange, how come my DS has not much work to do
i keep asking him if there are homework to be done, most of the time he said no.
DS also has to stay back 3 times per week after school.
Tueday there is Nero Math, Wed is CCA and Thur Short story writting followed by swimming lesson in the evening, Friday is home tuition. we lived in Tampines, by the time he reaches home is ard 5pm.
he will rest and take his shower, watch a bit of TV
normally i reach home ard 6ish, then will go thru his h/w (if any), and give him assessment work to do. his Chinese is poor, so i try to make him do more reading.
for ting xie and spelling, i will make him revise during weekend, bcos weekdays is too packed for him.
Sat he also has his Berries lesson. his only free day left is sunday.
think of it, actually the kids now very poor thing. i dun remember i have so much to do when i was his age

i am just wondering why he dun have much h/w from school..

Hi cholecube

Does he bring his worksheets back to sign and do corrections if any? Perhaps he finishes in class.
How d yr ds go to school? by himself or schoolbus? Why u chose NA? Tampines has so many school.
