Hi sky minecrafter, thanks for the response! 3 afternoons already taken up for supplementary classes?! :faint: Then plus CCA and enrichment, isn't that Mon to Fri? :scared:Serendipity:
...after-school activities for P5 kids in NH? Do they stay back often for extra lessons etc?
Hi, yup, not worth it taking the school bus both ways. Supplementary lessons (mandatory unless you ask to be excused?) for all P5 all 4 subjects usually spread over 3 afternoons (depends on individual teacher's arrangement) both semesters, Maths Olympiad, CCA... -
Not sure if the days are always the same for the supplementary classes in future.
Currently they are staying back on Mon, Tue and Fri.
So best dun arrange enrichments during afternoon of these 3 days.
P5, Mon & Tue ends at 3.30pm and Fri ends at 3pm
P6, Mon & Tue ends at 4pm and Fri ends at 3.30pm -
Hello. http://nanhuapri.moe.edu.sg/contact-us/school-bookshop was taken down for a while. Now it's up with the coming year's booklists. Do consider using Auntie Alice's pre-packed service for convenience! :rahrah:
Btw, she stocks some (limited cos of space constraint, only during yearend) copies of assessment books (example the OnSponge Essential/Conquer series) selling at a cheaper price too. If you check with her, make a remark on the booklist, she can keep a copy for you. -

Anyone heard news of school bus arrangements for next year to the holding site?
Just called up the bus operator. From Bukit Batok area: $155 for 2-way. $141 for 1-way.
I hope they can provide bus services from sch to Clementi mrt as the bus stops seem quite a far walk from sch and students have to cross roads. -

According to the latest sch circular, \"CCA will not be offered to all P1 and P2 students in view of their welfare and the difficulty of logistical arrangement...\" \"the school will develop their core competencies and skills of CCAs through experiential learning weaved into the other school program...\"Listing out CCAs which are also offered to P1 students. Do wait for the following year's notification if you require further information (with PERI, options could differ).

With CCA, it is quite common for P5 to spend 4 to 5 afternoons in school. But some suppl classes will end around 2.45pm. So not so bad. Most of them has no problem coping.

My PM is not working so i'll just share my views here.
My child is in TAG1. PSLE next. When my kid was selected for TAG1, we were not sure if we should accept it. But we have no regrets. The level of knowledge and confidence built up over the years are more than worth it. Having said that, some will do well and some won't in TAG1. You can't have all winners right? The key is to help them to be focused especially in P5 when the subjects are harder.
As for stress level, P4 is still manageable. P5 has more alot more homework but that's the same for all other non-TAG classes given that P5 is the preparation year for PSLE. Majority of the TAG students are able to handle the stress (i feel it is a good training for them). Some may struggle with languages especially Higher Chinese. But they have an option in P6 to drop HCL if their grades in P5 cannot meet the minimum requirement.kboon2009:

Hi ski, did your kid have supplementary lessons for all 4 subjects in P5? Or was it just EL, Math and Science?My PM is not working so i'll just share my views here.

The HCL like you said is really quite tough... What resources does your kid use to help with the subject?
