Frankly I am not too sure what these two programs are. All I know is that E2K is special science program which cover beyond their syllabus. Bicep is very much focus on Chinese history and cultures related knowledges. Hope I have given the correct info.

Hi snggy


Ok we now know that from P3 onwards there are the best 2 classes, I saw some mummies mention about BICEP and E2k? Are these classes other than the top 2? Why are there so many differentiation? It's so confusing. I also heard somewhere that by end P4, if not all subjects score band 1, pupils have to downgrade to standard Chinese, is that right? For pupils continuing in the higher Chinese journey, they will have to take 5 subjects at PSLE?

My child cohort ranking in P3 was among 81 to 120. This year P4, she was posted to a class (not bicep) which she had E2k and higher ability English lessons. On top of it, her teacher had marked for her Onsponge homework. Understand from her, few of closer classmates falled within the same range.
Kind of not easy to understand the streaming.
End P4, her cohort ranking had improved to 81 to 100 range, her book list is not P5S. At this point really no clue if she will still hv E2k and higher ability English as well as Onsponge workbook. She could opt for higher Chinese.
It is not true that all subjects must be in band 1 to qualify for higher Chinese option. But I believe the Chinese results has to be passing 75 marks to qualify for higher Chinese option with other 3 subjects reasonably OK.
Hope the info help.

Yes. The principal is being posted to Chongfu School.

Hi,

I am planning to send my 2 DDs for public speaking class this holiday; anyone knows of places to recommend?
I just want to ensure that they are not afraid to speak in front of strangers and how to present / speak well (basic) in a crowd.
Ask good questions etc.

Thank you!

Hi,


Does Chongfu practise streaming based on the result every year?

Thanking in advance for the reply!

Learning Point at Thomson Plaza…

My DD was with YCK Kindergarten from N2 to K2.


In terms of academic preparation for P1, I think YCK Kindergarten has done a good job. Both Chinese and English languages are well balance in the curriculum, which could be seen from their reading programme. Love for reading and good grasp of languages are the important factors for kid to do well in primary school.

There is a good emphasis in children’s behavior and character development too. The principal and the teachers are strict but caring. In my DD case, the principal and the teachers have called us in sharing what they have observed and encouraged us what we could do to help her. Subsequently, they followed up to report her progress in Kindergarten. For this special attention which they have given to my DD, I was very grateful.

I guess you could also call the principal to find out more about their curriculum.
