Thanks ngl2010 so very much!!! :thankyou:

Eng, I will go look for the books. Any recommendation on Comprehension guides?
Math, so far he has been doing all supplementary worksheets.
For chinese, I also dunno what on earth he is supposed to do so he just read up his past worksheets.
History, any guides for the techniques? He has been reading all his handouts n notes so far.
Where can we find RI past yr papers? available fr school?

Thanks!

English: Sorry, we didn't buy any Comprehension guides. DS only relies on school notes.

History: How is his formative and summative? If his grades are ok, then that means he already mastered the techniques. You don't have to worry :boogie:

RI past year papers can be photocopied from RI library. Just go to photocopy machine and he will see some students photocopying there. He can ask them where they get the papers. Usually nearer to MYCT and EOY the photocopy queue will be long.

Thanks again for the info..

Hello all again! Just received message on the nearing PTMs.


Are these sessions useful and fruitful towards improvements, or are they really general?

I am wondering whether how well the subject teachers know the individual students, especially the Year 1s who are only in school for 4 months.
:scratchhead:

Any comments? Or things to take note?

Dear parents here, anyone knows the information of school bus from east to RI? We now living in Pasir Ris and I am looking for school bus for DS. He now takes MRT and need a little over 1 hour. Thinking if taking school bus can shorten the time.


Thanks a lot.

Hi, the DSA process is underway and schools are in the midst of open houses. Would appreciate if parents of existing kids in RI can share their views on the following. Please pm me if more appropriate.


1. How many days do the kids stay back in school, whether for projects or CCAs? What is the latest time that they reach home?

2. Are there many individual and group projects? An acquaintance once told me that there are many projects including music project (her DS not in music elective) :yikes:

3. What would you say is the best development that you have seen your DS after going to RI? Any drawbacks?

4. Heard so many stressful and competitive stories. Is it really that stressful and competitive?

5. What would be an area that you think the school could have done better?

6. Heard of high turnover rates in teachers. Is this so?

Sorry that many of the questions are based on \"heard from who and who\" but that is the only basis I have.

Thank you in advance for any feedback/tips/advice.

Hey.. Sorry for the late response. Did you manage to book any slots to meet any teachers this Friday ? Heard most of the popular slots were snapped up, once they were open for booking.

Won't be meeting any teachers, as I've communicated with them via email. All says DS is doing fine! This form of communication seems more effective than meeting the teachers (max 3) for 10 minutes each, during PTM.

Will be attending the Year-4 Talk on 'A Level Curriculum' at 4pm. Hope to gather more info on Project Work..

Year-2 Talk is scheduled at 6.30pm. Noticed there're no talks for Year-1 & Year-3 this time.

Hi.

DS is in Year 2 so I only know what books he is using/will be using. I don't know about Year 3 and 4. Maybe parents of Year 3 and 4 can help?

Year 2 semester 1: Lord of the Flies
Year 2 semester 2: Julius Caesar
