I think I prefer ones tha combine creative writing and paper 2 components.
Thanks.

Hi notfreemom,

For our East location, (if we do have one), we are starting with
2 classes first. So far, there is more demand for P2 and P4 so
we are probably starting with those 2 levels first. We might
have another slot that is purely on creative writing for P1.
If you are interested still, you could let us know so we
can put you on the waiting list.

My DD is in P4 this year. I would like to sign her up should you have a class in the East.

Hi TAS,

Hi Tas,

Put my son in the waiting list. Either cwc or mix will be fine. Let me know if there is available slot. Thanks.

Hi TAS,


If you have a possible slot for P2 (east), when and what time will it be?
I want to see if my niece can make it. But anyway, can just reserve a slot first for her?

Hi parents (who asked about classes in the East),


We have confirmed a location and will start classes in October.

Which should be the correct answer? Thanks in advance.

Hi hermes173,

1) lodged means 'made or became firmly fixed in a place'

2) wedged means 'forced into a narrow space'

3) embedded means 'fixed or became fixed firmly and deeply in the surrounding mass'

4) sandwiched means 'inserted between two things or people'

(1) is not suitable because the people are not firmly fixed in a place. They can still move albeit with some difficulty.

Likewise (3) is not right because the people have not become firmly and deeply fixed in the crowd.

Many children might get confused between (2) and (4) but (4) is wrong because to be 'sandwiched' means to be stuck between two things or people which is not the case in the bus where a person is jammed amongst many.

Hence the best answer for this question would be (2) wedged.

Hope this helps.
