E3, wat CCA is yrs in?

She started off with Gym in P1. P2, she was also involved in Speech and Drama (Sci expressions), not a CCA, but will take up a weekday all the way till July. So, do plan that she takes up a CCA that won't clash with Sp n drama days, if the P2s are still involved this year. Due to this mummy's freaking out on the hectic schedule of Rhythmic Gym from P3 onwards, we had decided to forgo it. That's why hats off to Funx3's girl who is so committed to her Gym CCA. My dd will join GB this year and carry on to the end of P6.

U Sure Got a Jovial and Spontaneous Gal there!
Cannot Change Her Mind Too Often, Though.
Read from PH CCA Memo that OnLine Registration Ends Next Thu 12noon.

:celebrate: :celebrate:

Yup, u r right, must firm up by early nex week. But she didn't bring back home the list of CCAs avail for lower primary, so I'm not sure wat new ccas are in store for lower pri. For elder dd, she aldy has the cca memo and the list of ccas avail.

Anyway, Memo Did Write Something about Display of Various CCA Activities in the Canteen During their Recess on Mon / Tue ....

She Can Find Out If She Interested in Any Of them ....

Hi, mommies whose kids are in Chinese Dance, may I know how many days will the kid need to stay back for practice per week? As they proceed to upper primary, will there be more practice days and what are the days? My girl says she is interested in Chinese Dance but Mon morning practice time clashes with her ballet lesson. May need to do some adjustment.

I heard about it too. You think it's even better than Berries?

For Exam-oriented .. yes. For creative writing, I think Busy Bee is better.

Rcxmum .. all \"hear say\" my dd is not there. So do not know which teacher is better.

Go to Tian Xia at Orchard.... Majority of teachers are good there.....[/quote]Hi... Beside Tien Hsia in Orchard... Any comment about Tien Hsia in Choa Chu Kang? I stayed in bt panjang... Many thanks!

do you know what's the meaning of \"in the face of challenges\"?

'In the face of...' is an idiom. It means when confronted with, threatened by or despite of the opposition. The noun form of the word 'challenges' means a call to engage in a fight, contest or competition.

So, the combined meanings will give the meaning of 'in the face of challenges', that is, 'when confronted with a fight, contest or competition' or 'despite the opposition from a fight, contest or competition'. That's what we'll write for the hw.

If anyone has a better meaning to it, feel free to share too!

[quote=\"E3\"]:celebrate: Cheers to all parents! Our kids survived 1st week of school! :celebrate: From next week onwards, may everyone get into the swing of things!

I have been rather blur and lost in the first week. However, it should be full swing next week once buddy system ends and teachers can start teaching. I've been reminding son to read
his P3/4 Science everyday since there is no hw.

same here, we've bn relaxed too. Hv not started on dis year's assessmt as elder dd was buddy n reached home around 4pm. But she has hw leh. Journels n 1 Maths hw [/quote]Son had journal so far...that's about the only piece of homework.
'ting xie' and 'mo xie' on different days. So relaxed the whole week that I just can't get used to when I was told to expect a busy schedule.
To get mentally prepared for P5, I downloaded and printed out CA1 English to have a feel of what to expect. Boy was I shocked...just CA1 and already 23 pages :shock:
