Thanks for the info!
So would you say that the Get Me Thinking book is more advanced than the Thinking Maths - Conquer Problem Sums book?

Ds used onsponge's thinking maths in p3 & e sch swap to getmethinking in p4. I.find onsponge has more detailed drillings (abit draggy esp when he still doing e assignment at 10pm).


Getmethinking is more concise n has a higher % of challenging qns.

So depends on whether e kids need more practice or can move on after each slightly different qn.
Personally, I find its concept briefing easier to understand than onsponge. Not sure is it bcos we were new to such stuff at p3 tho.

good morning all,


any parents with kids in 1C next year?
Firstly would like to say hello, n may i check :-
a) the first day English exercise book, the notice says 2 broad line but I only bought 1 per book list. Does the school mean to bring the 2 jotter books, with lines?
b) the others NYF books, we wait until school reopen then buy?

The bookshop also short me of the magic ink.... have to call them...

Appreciate any advice on item a & b, thanks!

Hi parents,

Need some feedbacks on the P1 English Enrichment from school (Total English), is it good? Or outside enrichment school better? Thanks

I am going to the gathering with some of my old classmates Iwm99, were you from there?? I really missed the HUGE compound....we used to play catching or hide and seek during recess time, so fun ! PSLE results were very good at that time, but too bad due to low enrolment of students , Nan Chiau had to move to SengKang in order to 'survive' but I guess it was a right move..i also missed the '5 schools annual sports event' ..(KH, TN, NC, CF and AT got together once a year to compete in Track and field)..Is such event still continue now?
