Hi, if it's both continuous writing & paper 2 comprehension, synthesis etcetera, in the west, small group (I'm not their student, but if I'm not mistaken, they have less than 10 in a class), then LilButMighty? Learning Point (frens' reviews) is a good choice too, though their class size seems slightly bigger. They also seem to spend more time on grammar than composition.

I'd like to add, recommending Teacher SzeLi's recent post found on the LilButMighty website: 3 things to look out for when faced with a composition topic. Teacher SzeLi is an experienced Psle compo tutor (at an enrichment centre), who had also taught Secondary EL (same enrichment centre).

Hi Parents,
I thought of bringing my DD to travel after her PSLE for a mother-daughter bonding trip before she goes to Secondary School but not sure when will be a good time to travel esp results will be out around 22-24 Nov and thereafter we need to select the schools, orientation, purchasing of uniforms and school textbooks, etc.

Experience parents, need your advice on the date for travelling that will not clash with the dates. Is1-15 Dec the best time to travel?

Thank!

I’ve already booked my trip for 07-18 Dec 😅. So yes, 1-15 Dec is fine. You can even try psle marking week and take advantage of some lull period prices.

As every child learns differently, I would suggest that you arrange a trial class first.

Coding classes for all upper primary pupils from 2020


This involves a 10-hour coding programme for Primary 6 pupils, which will be piloted at some schools this year, after their Primary School Leaving Examination, before being rolled out to Primary 4 to 6 pupils in all primary schools by next year.

Some schools have already rolled out this program for P2-P3s. Maybe simpler version than what the P6s will learn. It’s very fun!

Not sure if its the right place to ask… Pls direct to the right thread.


Can we transfer IP schools if enter without DSA? And can only transfer say in Yr 3? Can transfer from IB to IP and vice versa? Thank you.

[phtthp]

not sure if MOE allow IP students to transfer from one IP school to another nowadays, even if enter by T-score, not DSA, because every IP school’s curriculum taught / covered, is different.


Also, if request for Transfer, besides checking whether vacancies arise, they also look at your past PSLE T-score, whether had met the official Cut-off-point, or not

I know 2 who transferred from one IP-A level school to another IP-A level school in Sec 2. This means they start Sec 2 in the new school. They are now in Sec 3. Didnt ask if they are dsa or t-score students.
