Hello, my gal started P1 this year with Haig Girls. As she is my first child, I am also learning together with her as to what are the things taught in school for English and Maths. After leaving school for such a long time, I realised lots of things have changed from the time when I was in Primary 1. She started learning han yu pin yin at the start of term 1, learning number bonds which is something not taught during my time and doing short write-ups for English,etc…


I have a long way to go but I must say that things have indeed changed a lot and subjects taught nowdays are much more challenging.

I am planning to send my gal to PAP Nursery class near my house but not sure if it is good. Any one has any experience to share or do any one can recommend a good kindergarden?

Hello here, i am a mother of 2 baby gals, one is 3 years old and the other is 10mths. Currently the older one is in whole day child care. Accidentally I found this website and I must compliment that this website is very informative and comprehensive.


My older gal is very shy and does not talk in school but at home she is very talkative. I must say that she cannot pronounce words properly and when she gets excited, she started to use her figures to point to you instead of talking. Teachers in school were quite concerned about this and asked us if she is able to articulate herself when she is at home. I am planning to enrol her to enrichment classes so that she can get used to outsiders and speak out more often. Any enrichment centre to recommend? i am staying in bishan.
