She's my elder son's Chinese Tr this year too.

Great updates from Ask & Learn from her.

Hi eyktay,

Any feedback about her teaching higher level? I think I know who you are cos our boys are in the same P4 class. :lol: My son misses his last yr Chinese tchr, Ms Ng Beng Choo. She is excellent! Hoping to have her again for P5 or P6

Hi angel12,
LOL! U know who I am? :lol:
Errr, who are you ah? Have we met?

Not sure abt her teaching level so far ok, she's v prompt in updating msgs online....but Ms Ng Beng Choo....I miss her too. Saw her in school that day, she's really a fun teacher. Think she must be cream of the crop, that's why got pulled out to teach P6, else teachers should follow them from P3 to P4 right?

Hi,


Received a notice on magazine subscription - Science Spy, Asian Geographic Junior and Wildlife Wonders. Are these good? I do not fancy those magazines that have lots of pictures but very little explanation. What about these three? :?

Thanks.

Dear VVJJ, Honey and tired mama,


Couldn’t make it for the parents meeting on 29 Jan 2010? How was it? Got to meet the teacher?

Thanks.

I also didn’t attend the Parents Network event on 29/1. I heard that the Principal & all FTs were there & about half of the parents from 1F turned up. I was hoping to have an update either via the blog or letter from the teacher about it but have not heard or received any so far.

With regards to the magazine subscription - we did not take up any of these.

Hi, session was ok.. it was primarily to meet the fellow parents and start a networking group of parents within the class.. so we can help relay messages / pass info rapidly and efficiently... I think almost all opted in to be in the relay channel... there is a form to fill up (which I think u can get frm teacher ?) that if u wish to opt in.. we have abt 5-6 parent reps who volunteered to be the source of contact... for instance, help send chain SMS / email for any matters / feedback etc.. the VP quoted an instance during the SARS period, they needed to shut the school urgently and they relied on this channel to disseminate info rapidly & it proved to be effective & efficient. We met the teachers but their role that evening was to facilitate the process of setting up this parents network.. not to discuss kids' performance / class matters.. this was made v clear @ onset.

I did not subscribe to the mag too :))

Hi,


Its great to meet parents of 1F boys here! My boy is also in 1F He talks about a few of his friends like Kiern, Nicholas, Dominic Pang, Mathew Ho, etc, all the time. The boys have begun exploring the school grounds together. They are now crazy over animal kaiser cards and trading them in school. My boy lost the Kid the Tiger that he traded for with Matthew...so sad.

Pri1B's blog is really impressive with lots of photos and write-up. Just checked the 1F blog and its still the same old stuff. Hope Mdm Kala is more on-the-ball with this.

I think they changed groups again last week as my boy mentioned that he is seated with different kids now. This is the 4th time he is changing seats...wonder why??

VVJJ,

Saw a pair of twins at Matthew Ho's birthday party at SAFRA Jurong. Should be your twins, right? They really had a great time there!!

Hi Valsboys,


YEs that's my ever energetic pair of twins!! Forever playing non stop

I also noticed Mdm Kala never updates her blog as promised. I usually based it on my other boy class blog - 1G. Teacher constantly updates everyday, especially topics to be covered on the chinese paper held today.

I also feel that 1F is a bit slow in terms of lessons. I maybe wrong but an example would be the art lesson. My son in 1G has already completed his last week using used magazines. But I saw fm my 1F son's Marist planner to bring the materials next week.. In addition, I remembered my boy completing so many pages of his maths homework within 1 day. I wondered if the teacher is rushing to finish the topics.. This is my personal opinion. I could be wrong...

[valsboys]

VVJJ,


My boy also had many pages of math and english homework on a particular weekend, but it was because Mdm Kala was absent on that Thurs so the boys passed time doing drawing and reading, no math and english lessons.

The delay in the art lesson could be due to art lesson missed on the previous Fri because of CNY celebration.

Surprised to see Jerome yesterday at the car pick-up point. Thought he takes the school bus??
