I have decided to try out Lorna Whiston at Kallang wave instead. Hope I will not regret this decision.

Any parent can share their experience on Mindchamp Chinese Preschool at Cecil Street?

Pure Purple:

Thank you Bridgette. Yes, this is very helpful. One more question please. What time does the weekly English/Maths remedial end please?

Bridgette:

[quote=\"Pure Purple\"]Hello! May I ask if P2 kids stay back in school after formal school hours? Are there any CCA or remedial lessons conducted by the teachers? If they do, can I have an indication of how frequent these take place? Thanks.

For P2, school formally ends at 1300. Parents picking up their kids can bring them back, whereas for students taking bus, they usually need to wait until the dismissal time of upper primary at 1330. This meant buses would leave at around 1345. Some students can take lunch during this half hour break. Their teacher usually accompanied them.

There are no CCA for P2 yet. Remedial classes are held for both English and Math and weekly. For the first term, the remedial classes start around end Jan or early Feb and end two weeks before March holidays.

Hope these info help.

It depends. Each class duration is about an hour and either scheduled at about 1400-1500 or 1500-1600. If the child is required to attend both classes, the teacher usually tries to schedule both remedial classes on the same day. If this is the case, the lessons would end at 1600.

Thanks verykiasu.


For Maths for example, did they basically finished the textbooks/ workbooks? Addition and subtraction up to two digits, with renaming (\"bringing over\")?

For English, are they writing in sentences? In prose? Given pictures? Any required target number of sentences?

Thank you.

For Maths, my boy has completed the whole textbook- addition and subtraction up to two digits, multiplication and division and counting money.

For English, they are definitely writing sentences and constructing story using the 5 'Ws' and 1'H'. Picture reading is also assessed. They also learnt simple past tense.

I find P1 teachers in RVPS are given much free vein in pacing out the learning, depending on the students' development.

hi,

my DD is also attending P1 next year. but i havent got any information regarding booklist and other things? did i miss out anything?

My friend has also received it. Better call the school if you have not received it by today.

My DD is going to P1 next year. Just got the the booklists. Like to ask the existing parents, do I need to buy all the textbooks, files indicated? All the stuffs for ART class need to get too? Do anyone know where to get the uniform beside from the school? Are the textbooks available at Popular too?

Hi Swatch, I bought all the books and files. As for the Arts kit, I only bought the book because I had the drawing materials at home. Most of the books can be found in popular, but price differ slightly for some. Can't remember where to get the uniform beside the school.

Hope your DD enjoy her next milestone !

Any parents from 1E Graciousness interested to be part of chat group in whatsapp? Hope to build up strong network with parents so that we can share and help one another. Please PM me so that I can add you in the group. :rahrah:

Hi hi great to link up too. My ds is Oliver. I heard Oliver mentioned Joy a couple of times. Which camp are you looking at? :boogie: I am considering week 2 camp starting 10June either at Tao Nan or New Town.

I am thinking of signing my ds for the discovery camp in June, and hope to find out any parents also sending their dd/ds to attend, especially those from 1E Graciousness. It will be probably more fun if there is a familiar face during the 5 day
