Sorry I need to hijack this thread away from potential P1 parents of PH.


I need to know from parents of P2 kids who are in the Science Expression program on Thursday - do your kids complain it’s boring? that it is confusing? or do they find it interesting?

I understand that the kids on the Sci expression program on Tuesday find it more fun and interesting, but not so from the Thursday class.

Hope to get some feedback from you all to have a more balanced view of this program. thanks!

I'm not really sure if it's boring but I think this week is the last stretch for them. They're practicing on both Tue n Thu until performance on Fri.

My son is on Tue and he enjoys it fair enough but not really sooo in love with it. Almost like moving with the motion since it's school activity. Do you think they carry different materials for it? I would assume it's the same group of people coming to teach both Tue n Thu.

Back from super long absence :love:

Hi notabox,
All the best to you and parents registering in Pei Hwa for 2011.

Yes, super long absence...haha! My girl looks forward to the class every Tue morning. She's pretty excited about the performance this Friday. She did her poster on the Haiku and brought to school today. In my opinion, though the course has come to an end, nothing much has changed in her. She is still a serious, self-conscious girl, not a drama queen. :lol: She will act out her role rather professionally but behind the scene, she's back to her usual self. I guess it's personality. It's good exposure though and she had learnt quite a bit on the science concepts that were integrated.

sharon1234, I am just sharing, hope you are able to elicit more response from parents whose kids go for Thur class.

HI E3,

I bought that book with English phrases to help with compo writing...wow, the English used is really cheam !!! Anyway, I'm getting my son to start practicing for his SA2 compo...this way, hopefully his Paper I will get better grades. Will alternate between situational writing as well as pic ones. Oh yes, my son still remembers what I told him about your daughter's PERFECT 10 score.

Janet, I guess it's good to start early. He can discover his style in the midst of practising. Reading widely helps too. As long as he is inspired, and expresses from within, he should be able to write well. I have also started a different approach to help my dd with Chinese Compo. The SA1 method of memorising scenarios is too risky. She has to learn to be flexible and express herself creatively but sincerely. I believe that will help her to develop her own writing style, hence makes the story more original and hopefully gives the reader something to enjoy.

Thanks for sharing. My dd was in the Tuesday class in term1 but she switched to the Thursday class in term2 because she has other activity on Tuesday. That's why I can tell it is different teachers for Tue and Thu.

I guess that could be the reason as well.
