Hi Vividlaurel
My girl is Ashley Tan, she is wearing a pair of pink glasses. Turn to page 5 of your girl's diary.

Hi Jolin78,


All our kids are in P1, and since it's been just 2 weeks since school started, we can't say exactly how they use IT to teach, but yes, from what the principal and the teachers said during the curriculum talk, they do use IT to teach - actually more ICT than just plain IT.

For example, when the spelling test list was given they gave links to some spelling sites which parents can use - an example of using technology to help the kids learn in a fun way...

Hope this helps.

Hi Vividlaurel and other Beacon Primary Parents,

You mention T2/3 will cover swimming and Wushu, are these activities assigned or you can choose from a list. And where would they do their swimming class? Do keep this thread active, as a potential parent to send my kid to Beacon next year - this really help with all these updates and feedback. Thanks!javascript:emoticon('8)')

Hi mummypumpkin,


I am not too sure about the other classes, but for P1, they have swimming in T2 for 4 classes and I guess the other 4 classes will be doing Wushu which gets reversed in T3. Maybe as they grow up, they will have a list of CCAs for the children to choose from. Last year they went to Bt. Batok swimming pool for their swimming lessons, hopefully it'll be the same this year too. We'll keep you updated as the year goes on and we know more. How old is your child - I mean when will he/she be in P1?

Hope this helps.
