Anyone sign up for the maths olympiad enrichment class conducted by NUS ? DS could not make it cos of our overseas plan, so wonder is he going to miss out a great program?

May I check what MO Enrichment is that ? Recommended by school ? By NUS ? :scratchhead:

i thought ur DS2 will go for Math Master class? so it is different from the MO class conducted by NUS? :?

both are for P5 & 6?

Any idea if there is a change of format for Eng PSLE in 2014?

I vividly recalled 2 yrs ago that this implementation affecting kids in Yr 2002.

YY1205 / Dagong, any idea how is yr DS's class doing for Sci?

DD's class is doing well for Sci as compared to last year.
Certainly, this is tr's credit. A no of them above 80 and highest score is 98.

Wow! Impressive result ! Wish I could hv say the same for my DS 's tr. As a whole, dun think the school did well.

J4F and YY1205,
Thanks ! Last year, the Sci tr was a retiree in her 60s and took up 1yr teaching and all 3 classes were taught by her. DD was one of those almost failed the Performance Task . Certainly, it was a struggle for the girls and parents freaked out as well. This yr, DD is blessed with this young,vibrant tr who has motivated them for greater heights.

Didn't hear about anyone getting above 90 in the entire cohort.
So it could be teacher's fault :scratchhead: :yikes:
