Anyone knows which vacuum cleaner is good for getting rid of dust-mites?


And on the topic of robot cleaners, I recently got mine and it is very good. The house is
squeaky after it does its runs. I just need to mop once a week. The brand is neato.

Anyone knows what creative writing books are good other than books by Liza Tan and TAS? I have both already but am looking for more to help my kids for their paper 1.


I would also like to know which books are good for oral preparation. Tks!:)

Do you know if we could purchase extra creative writing books from TAS for our friends?

FYI TAS' books can also be purchased from selected Popular stores : http://www.thealternativestory.com/tas-book

Thanks CMF but I was wondering if I could buy for my friends from TAS as they cant get it at Popular, the Popular they went to said it was out of stock.

Oh so don’t have to wash much with Happy Call? I hate the cleaning up part.

Hi TAS parents,

Hi all!

After reading all your posts, I realised my DS shd be dreaming most of the time.. few weeks ago, he didnt know there was spelling.. and just today i asked him if there is any homework from TAS, he said no..
Now that you gals have mentioned abt the memorisation thingy, i thk i better go dig his bag... :slapshead:

I also thought the synthesis exercises were good.. just curious, I thought synthesis are only tested in P3 level? I chk most of the assessment books out there only have that in P3 and above?..

S'times i also 1 2 to chk with the teacher my DS's progress but the crowd always scares me... :scared:

Hi ilovechubby,

Same here, the crowd is scary but I quite ks one so will squeeze through crowd to talk to teacher. If its too much for you, perhaps you could let the admin know to ask the teacher to call you?

I also thought no synthesis at P2, I asked the tas teacher and she said they want to expose them at a younger age to synthesis because it can be quite tricky for the kids.

hi,


I have recently enrolled my kids at TAS and find their teaching style very good. My kids now are interested in writing and in doing compre. Their passages and questions seem quite tough though and I am pleasantly surprised that they can cover quite a fair bit in that 2 hours. Would just like to find out if they cover oral when the exams are nearer?

Hi May I know which branch are your kids at? which standard? Nice to hear that your kids are happy there and learning well :))

One is P4 and one is P4, actually my P4 is in the Bukit timah branch- his grandparents bring him from their place on weekends as we put him there and my P2 is at AMK.

I noticed that they have to do memorisation too but I think it helps them to internalize the phrases faster. And my kids find it easier to write their compos as well.

Dont think there is oral coverage. They do cover quite a lot of components already but mainly compo, compre, synthesis and vocab

Thanks glendt:)

My older one gets sick easily and is fussy about food. Any suggestions for supplements?
