Thank you, E3 & Funx3.

In your opinion/experience, will 2 CCAs be too tough to maintain? I hope ds can take up a sport CCA and I know ds will want to join the robotic club.

my dd had 2 ccas when she was in P1. Was good as P1 is a 'light' year in terms of intensity of school work. Dd had alot of fun n
enjoyed school v much.

We will have to arrange transport for our kids separately right? CCA for P1
will be in the morning? About what time?[/quote]depends on cca. Some starts at 10am some at 11am. U can check with yr bus uncle if he ferries kids for cca in morngs. Our bus uncle does but only for the a particular time slot n u pay per trip fee to uncle. N dependg on distance, d bus fare is charged differently. I don't take d bus svs for cca so I'm not too sure how much they charge but i heard b4 dats it's between $2 to $3.

[quote=\"IJJ\"]Since I typed it out...a peek into P4 CL dic.


1。 她不胖不瘦，乌黑的头发梳成两条细长的辫子，红润的瓜子脸，圆圆的大眼睛，脸颊上有两个深深的酒窝，显得活泼可爱。

2。除夕晚上，儿子、孙子都来到她身边，她满脸皱纹都舒展开了，就像盛开的菊花瓣，每根皱纹里都洋溢着笑意。

3。他胖乎乎的身体，又圆又大的脑袋，短而黑的眉毛下镶嵌着一对机灵的大眼睛, 总让人感到是那样的机灵、活泼。

5。爷爷高高的个儿，宽宽的肩，别看他已年过古稀，可说起话来，声音像洪钟一样雄浑有力。

3。他看来不出十岁，头发像乱草，满脸脏黑，眼睛灵活地溜来溜去，鼻子下挂着两条浊青的鼻涕，有时他用手拧掉，有时又用力地吸回去。

wow....very very \"chim\"
you will frighten majority of parents with this post....

Now you know why I raise white flag. I belong to the majority.[/quote]actually the school wants to train the kids in chinese creative writing by doing this. the kids can apply this sentences in their essay writing, provided they can remember them.

If the child can grasp the meanings well and understand how to apply these phrases, it is great! But, proper guidance is needed. If they just blindly memorise these phrases without understanding, it defeats the purpose. I am not sure about her current teacher, but last year, the teacher did not have time to go through the entire list. This year, with such standard, I will have to do some research before I coach.

[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Fortunately CCA is not compulsory for Pei Hwa.

Sorry, I just want to confirm this. Is it true that CCA is not compulsory from P3 onwards? From what I know, CCAs are not compulsory for P1s and P2s. My understanding is that it will be compulsory for upper primary. Not very sure now. :?

It Might Not B a Wise Decision to DROP CCA Totally in Pri School ....

Don't Know About Others, But I Find Letting Our Kid Join at Least 1 CCA in School is Good for Both Character Building and TeamWork ....

I Find My Gal, Who has been Competing Competitively in Inter-school Championship Every Year since P2 is Pretty Strong Mentally, Has Better Time Management Skill, Can Handle Stressful Situation Calmly and is Very Independent.

With the Amount of Time Committed to Preparation for Gym Competition and Dance Rehersals for Performance and / or Competition,
(could B up to 6x a week prior to Championship and Concert)
she has No Choice but to proportion and use Her Time Efficiently.

I Think this is Good Preparation for Sec School, Where CCA is Compulsory and is Awarded Points in their Performance
- Then It Won't B Such a Cultural Shock when they R in Sec School ....

And Remember ONE Thing, in Sec School, CCA Choose U, Not the Other Way Round ....
So If Your Kid is in a CCA they Like Now in Pri School, Got Better Chance that they can Get into a CCA of their Choice in Sec School ....

Have Read in Many Sec School Thread, So Many Parents R Lamenting that Their Kid can't Get into CCA of their Choice and HATE Going to CCA's that they R Stuck with for the 4 years or More in the Sec School ....

One SIDE Benefit,
If they R Really GOOD in the CCA,
Can DSA into Prestigious Sec school of their Choice - le!!!!

ANOTHER SIDE Benefit :
My Gal is the FITTEST and Most FLEXIBLE in our Family .... Ha - HA ....
UnLike Plump OLD Mummy Here ....

Guess I Spent Too Much Time in Front of the Computer Following KS Parents Forum????
See .... I Got SLIM Fingers to Prove!
Ha Ha ....
:lol: :lol:[/quote]I agreed It also provide good balance between academic and non academic stuff

HI IJJ,

You have frightened a lot of parents, esp those in P1/2.
That ‘mo xie’ list you typed out is very valuable and can be used for CL compo. Sometimes, the whole chunk of mo xie can be used for the compo. If can remember some of the introduction, proverbs used, even better…sure can score high marks.

[quote=\"php\"]Why does the school need to arrange the class P3 to P6 in that manner? is there really a need to reverse the order?

I had the same thought too. All the renaming is pointless. Just S band the last 5 classes will solve the problem right?

Great Minds Think ALIKE!

Agree with you! Will go back and check with my son whether they got the same thing.
