Hmm i am not so creative. I just make sure my dd learn all her spelling before i test her. If she gets a mistake i will ask her to learn all again before coming to me. So far it works fine.

Wow taking public bus is faster than taking school bus? The school bus must really be going round and round.

Taking school bus, they will arrive to school about 6:35~6:40, and my DD will spend over half an hour to chat or be in daze...

I send her to school by bus, she will arrive to school aroud 7:05...It's just on time to catch reporting time...

Can any mummy tell me how can I encourage/train her to understand that 'practise makes perfect' ? I am not angry with mistakes but is the attitude that makes me very angry.


Thanks for any advice... !

I let my DD to practise by herself before she come to my side...I help her to do the spelling for 2 times...if she still make mistakes, i will let her to write the right answer for 3 times.

i realise some kids doesn’tlearn chinese spelling by writing the words repeatedly… They will still forgot how to write after writing it repeatedly… My dd learn chinese spelling by just lookingat the word and i will explain the meaning and bian eg wood is mu … Three stroke symbolises water

Hi ctct61t

I had contatced the bus operator and the conclusion is that she is not able to route to my place, guess I am left with no other choice now. Just a advise to all mummies whom dd is taking school bus - do think of a better way to send them before u stop the service. Dont be like me

You may try other drivers who are nearby. When I registe my DD to school bus service, I did check the driver of Telok blangah, bukit merah, harbourfront...try to find the most suitable one. You call STTA to get the number.

Oh for chinese i got to break up the words into parts for my dd before she can learn it. She cannot learn just by looking. I need to tell her u see this word left hand side is 'ren', right hand side is something else etc before she remember it.

Now her main problem is she always mix up when to use 的 and when to use 地 in a sentence.

Hi all

Many thanks for all your suggestions. I will continue to see what I can to arrange for the transport.

Btw, my girl is having problems with her Maths espcially with the drawing of models. Sometimes she is able to solve her problems without the models but I know that it is impt that she must know how to draw models. Any suggestions where to have a good enrichment centre for Maths in town?

This morning, the traffic condition was really bad… both inside and outside the school. i think the school shld have another covered drop off point ouiside the school near the current bus bay area located outside near the school gate. And parents can join drop off their kids outside the school and after which turn right and exit out to bt timah road…


Now everyone drives into the school to drop off their kids and a one lane driveway became a 2/3 lane driveway and everyone wants to get out at the exit near NJC…

The school shld look into exploring how to improve the traffic condition… especially during raining days…
