Did you attend the prize giving ceremony? I was there too! surprisingly my DS also got a prize in his class That day if you saw someone pulling a luggage, that's me! Never thought about this, I have prebooked our flight in that afternoon. When DS told me he got some prize but don't know what kind of prize, I nearly couldn't believe my ear.

Same as your ds, I can only think the competition in NH is much lower than other schools.

:congrats: :salute:

Just Curious. Are GEP students given assignments during the holidays?

No assignment at all fr my son's class during the holidays.

GiftedGem:

Dagong / toxic 118, did I hear it correctly that yr DS are banded to their performance for posting to P5? DD's tr informed that they mixed the classes so as to have more networking exposure with others.

Yes, there will be some movement between the classes. The details will only be known when the school reopen.

DS2 was told they will change their classmates next year but they have class ranking for top 4 students, so they have a 1st in GEP, 2nd in GEP & so on.... And each given a certificate & trophy. However, the certificate just states that the students are among the top 4 students wo the actually ranking, the actually ranking was announced during the prize giving ceremony.

:congrats:
:celebrate:

GiftedGem:

Hurray !!!

Finally it is a school holiday break! A needed break before we get fully charged for a brand new year. Btw, DD informed that she has been assigned to do IRS for P5 next yr. (Have it as 1st choice ).

My DS chosed IVP as 1st choice n IRS as 2nd choice.
I've no idea at all what he'll do in IVP if given the choice. :?

GiftedGem:

Yes. Pleasantly surprised to see that DD made it for the 4 subjects abv 80%. Told her how nice it would be if this is for P5 and P6 score....

:congrats: :salute:

Oh, no .. no ... Silver won't be able to join IMSO, there are so many Silver. Just his class alone, there are 10 Silver & 1 Gold already ! Dun think there is any group tuition for them too.

The Gold winner is a golden girl, right? Is she as good in other subjects too?
Your DS's class seems to have a lot of students very good in Math.

Ya, the girl is an all rounder & able to join IMSO national team at P4 :yikes: and she is nice enough to let DS2 try some of her IMSO questions :hugs: although DS2 sees :scratchhead:
Ya the rest of DS2 classmates oso very good at Math. :celebrate:[/quote]Wow....wonderful. Hmm...wonder how she can be so good... :salute:
So how many student in your DS's class who get HD for Math ICAS?

[quote=\"GiftedGem\"]Hi, how many of you are attending IRS?

Be there on that day. Good if can meet one another on that day. Cheers !

My son lost the form. Is the form mention about parents joining too?
He said parents no need to go. Hmm.... :?

Likely he don't want me to go.

I remember there was a form that we need to indicate how many parent going for each kid but that was passed up quite some time ago. Maybe u can get yr DS to get from teacher again. I am going with DS1 to join DS2 at the exhibition. DS1 is keen to know what this IRS Exhibition is about, whether it is something similar to the E2K that he had attended before.[/quote]All of you follow the school bus?

Haha ! Yr DS again.... Giving u lame excuses. Btw, Sch just circulated the form asking pupils to choose one of the three programmes as their Individualised study option (ISO). Child is encouraged to make her choice based on area of interest.
1) Individualised research studies -IRS
2) Innovation programme - (IRS)
3) Future problem solving programme (FPSP)
DD wants to opt for 2 or 3. We are clueless what are expected except for 1 since we have done that during our uni days. Thus, we are heading down. Come along if u n ur wife can make it. We can have coffee there.[/quote]I totally clueless on all the ISO above. Your DD and you use your own transport or follow the school bus?
