It’s a tough calling to ask my DD to read The Straits Times. How to interest her? I think by reading ST will improving not only General Knowledge/ current affairs, also vocabulary. She is selective when choosing story books too. Aiyah, headache…

Thank you livewith_vanilla for sharing your valuable and vivid info. I guess it all boils down to discipline with the student him/herself. Pls continue to share any important info in this thread whenever u r free.

Hi to all parents!


How are you preparing your kids for P5 in 2011? Heard that there is a big leap from P4 to P5. Any ideas/tips you can share in this thread with us here?
My DD is approaching P5 next year too. She is offered HMT next year and my concern is whether she is able to handle this extra subject and adjusting to other subjects simultaneously. Anyone can share how to prepare, time mgt? Tks.

Hi to all!

Any parents have sent their kids to Kumon centres at Siglap centre, Bedok Central or Kembangan Branch? Any good/bad feedbacks about the teachers are appreciated. I’m thinking of sending my K1 DS for kumon maths program as I’m staying in the East.
Thanks

Hi to all!

Any parents have good/bad experiences of teachers at Siglap, Bedok Central or kembangan branches of Kumon? Any feedback is valuably welcome. Thought of sending my K1 DS for Maths. He is relatively slow in understanding the concept. The Roxy Sq branch is so popular that they are full!
Thanks.

Hi!

My family loves the pork congee from Bedok Blk 216 hawer centre. Smooth congee with pork slices, self-made pork balls, liver/intestine. egg is optional. Other version like century egg with pork is also very good. Try it.

Hi,

Is it the corner shop which serves seafood, Big eater? My family loves the yummy crabs there. The crab that fried with salted duck eggs are our favourite. They serve the crystal hor fun with dried shrimps are good too. Can also order crab beehoon in soup for family of 4. u can choose either airconditioned or non. Price is reasonable too. oats with prawns are fresh too. Been there three times since last year.

Hi,

My DH and I often go to the very small coffeeshop near the Lion City Hotel for the braised duck rice/porridge. Very yummy, run by siblings but the place is pretty hot & dirty. quite hard to find seats during lunch time.
Enjoy!

To 2818,


Hi, to your query, I submitted my DD's photocopied results since P1-P3 from the report book and submit personally to the school. We have to fill up a waiting list form at the General Office. The admin will call us when they have vacancies. No interviews like some other schools.
Good luck to your application. :lol:
