Ok, I am going to get both !!


Tks for all the info !!

haaaaa....welcome to the kiasu club :lol:
but I would advise the kid to concentrate more on one so that they will be familiar with it when coming to exam..(my personal opinion)..

Hi grande,


You sound familiar. Do you have a K1 son this year? I know a mummy whose daughter in 3E too. I have also PM you.

Hello jsmum

I've also PM you. I think you sound familiar too !! Is your P3 in class 3D ?

I will get the Creative dictionary for myself!! I will be happy if my kid can use 1 cheng yu in a compo. Up to date my P3 boy knows nothing about cheng yu.


Besta model is easy to use. My boy is starting to use it by himself on the 2nd day. However better not be too dependent on the dictionary because written expression during exams is only 50 minutes. My kids told me some of their classmates are using Besta models while few are using bigger ones (perhaps the more expensive model?). I refrain from buying those more expensive ones. Afterall they are only in P3 and they are likely to loose things easily. The salegirl kept asking me to buy the $600+ model (that can practise oral exams). It is out of my budget. Wonder if really any parents will buy it?

I also bought a more expensive range of Besta ($200+)... after playing with it for a few days it was left in the drawer untouched for a long long while...hai waste money..

Calling MMM and grande,


Are the P3 kids required to stay back for VE and CMP tomorrow? My boy is unable to tell me anything. My P4 told me she has VE and CMP tomorrow. Lunch is from 12.20pm to 12.45pm. VE 12.50pm to 1.20pm, CMP 1.20pm to 2.20pm.

Hi,

Based on the timetable, yes. My impression is that the CMP is from 2.30 - 4.30 (as it is conducted by external instructors). Am I reading it correctly? My girl told me that it is announced that it is compulsory for P3 and P4 to stay back fro CMP but she is not too sure of the time.

According to schedule it is CCA not CMP (by external instructors) is from 2.30pm to 4.30pm. It will only start next week.

I am worried because this is my boy first time staying back in school. He vaguely remembers his teacher telling him about the Malay lessons last Fri when the schedule was given out. Nothing was written down. If my boy don't know about staying back in school tomorrow, I believe there will be many others too.

I am making arrangements for my kids to be picked up by 2.20pm. Lucky my girl is there to watch out for her brother.

Hi jsmum,


The schedule shows 13th Jan Commencement of Weekly CMP lessons for P3 & P4… So must they stay back??? I am trying to get hold of another parent via FB. See if he replies.

Jsmum,


I managed to contact another P3 parent. He told me that his son told him that they can leave by 2.20pm. I am thinking of getting my maid to standby for 2.20pm pickup and will call the school tomorrow to confirm.
