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....

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.

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

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…

Hi Luanee


I am not sure about the quote posts as well.

By the way, is Formation teaches how to draw models as well? What do you think of the centre?

[ctct61t]

A math teacher told me that model is a tool to help children to understand math concept. The most important of learning math is to understand concept. Model is a very straight forward way to solve problem, the main purpose of build model is to help children who is not good in direct concept learing. The math teacher’s suggestion is that it is not good to learn model in early primary stage, it is not good to develop their math minds.
