It's ok.... this forum is for parents to share.


The only homework she has is for enopi and Molin chinese (which my mum got the teacher to give her some practise to do). She is more committed to do the homework if she knows that it's coming from the teacher. Other that that, we are just expected to read with her and revise what she has learnt. This is the part that we are trying to keep up given that she is not the only child

For her, I think we are spending around $700 per month excluding her kinderland fees.

mmm… wow, you are really a good mummy. to spend ts much is really no joke especially this is not your only child.


i feel that the enrichment course is not just spending $$$ but time. like driving them to course, waiting time, revision time… actually time is also another factor. after they have finished the course, do we spend time is also a raise of concern. i realised that my dd doesnt like to go through the revision with me. she shared that she enjoyed the course and she can cope with that and FULL-STOP.

anyone can share how you revised with your child after their enrichment course?

Diff people view things differently. Maybe some parents will classify me as \"Kiasu Mummy from hell\" that tortures them :lol:

Yes, it's true that there is no point sending kids for classes and you don't revise. It will not be effective that way.

I like programs that has deliverables. Eg. LW requires us to read with the child the books they bring home. If we don't, the child cannot catch up and read by herself in class. Due to this, we are \"forced\" to do it with them.

Due to time constraint, I would usually revise her previous week work with her before she goes for class.

I feel that with kids in primary school, revision for enrichment classes become a challenge with the numerous activities that are going on.

My kid is doing fine without much revision (since preschool) after the enrichment classes. The only subject that needs DAILY revision and practise is math. Even a 6YO kid can say her math is weak so go figure.

The kids will be given a story to recite (but don't know is it applicable to p1)..as for spelling it will be once a week.

Actually the oral component is getting really big. 25% of total score and if I don’t remember wrongly the same weightage as composition in upper primary.


It’s important for our kids to speak the language well. Not sure if there will be increased weightage when they revamp the chinese language learning more in view of MM’s comments.

i think that's what they are doing now..increase the oral component....so the English speaking kids will be for chinese oral or storytelling....
