From what I heard, Shaping Maths is going to be revamped.Trapwithin:
[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Math textbook from this year has changed to 'My Pals Are Here' by Marshall Cavendish...no longer 'Shaping Maths'.
Yipee ...... finally \"Shaping Maths\" is phasing out.
\"My Pals\" is a lot better.
But 'My Pals' publisher (Marshall Cavendish) is coming in very strong for school textbooks...so several titles under this publisher for assessment books are popular.[/quote]I thou both Shaping Maths and My Pals are under Marshall Cavendish. Did I rem wrongly? -
‘Shaping Math’ is under MC publisher too…maybe it is being phased out.
Son used Shaping Math for 4 years. Actually it’s not bad. -

That's exactly what I told IJJ! In the first place, I don't even understand why are the front seats being used since that there usually vacant seats at the back.
Worse still, there was a boy standing at his seat on the left front of the bus, just beside the driver. Gosh, he wasn't buckled but was standing instead!! If the accident had happened, this poor boy would have been thrown off his seat!!Happy Mama:
I don't think that lady drivers are kayu. Some lady drivers are more garang drivers than I am. As a matter of fact, I cringe everytime dw drives the car cos she takes risks that I won't dare to take. My SIL is another garang driver. I mean if you keep a distance of only 1m from the car in front of you in the highway, how can't you react to emergencies when they happen? I also very scare to take her car :nailbite: .To all the PH daddies out there, in case you are thinking, must be lady driver kayu to cause all these...
Thank goodness DH decided to tag along this morning, for the fun of it. He witnessed everything and agreed I wasn't at fault at all... yeah!!
Me? The way I drive, I make WRX behave like a Camry, keke. -

Hahaha!! DH's friend's wifey drives a Porsche 911 and she drives at below 80km/hr most of the time. We always joke with her that she's spoiling her car!

No, they offer to some pupils from other classes too. Most, not all, in the top class get it. The forms are given out today to the P4. Unfortunately, the EL program is on Friday, crashes with my girl's CCA. Any parent appealing for another day?E3:
Instead, train them AFTER P3, like offering the Thinkers Today, Leaders Tomorrow programme, so that on one hand, you develop many excellent students for PSLE, on the other hand, you keep the brains.
Ya the TTLT is a very good programme. Not too sure if they offer it only to the top class.... -

Thanks for your reply, IJJ.

[quote]EL Thinkers Today, Leaders Tomorrow (TTLT) programme
The Thinkers Today, Leaders Tomorrow (TTLT) porgramme is designed to maximise the potential of our Hihger Ability (HA) pupils. These pupils have been identified by the Ministry of Education (MOE) to be in the top 2 to 5% of the entire Primary 3 cohort in Singapore. We thus feel that it is imperative that we customise a special programme to engage these HA pupils and to ensure that their interests are catered to and that their abilities are stretched. The TTLT programme also aims to equip these pupils with skills so that they can become independent learners. Our mission for these HA pupils is not just to teach them how to fish but to make them yearn for the sea.
Our programme is thus very varied. The following is a glimpse of that these HA pupils engage in during their TTLT lessons.
1. Concept Mapping - how to extend a given concept into its various sub themes
2. Research Skills - the 6 steps to conduct a research
- how to use the Internet as a source of information
- manner of citation
3. Drama Skills - voice projection & voice variations
- body language
- how to craft a short and simple script
4. Debating Skills - how to craft a substantive and support it with evidence
- how to rebut their opponent's point/s
5. Reading - how to response to a text they have read based on various elements found in the text/s
6. Leadership Training - to be ambassadors of their school and to introduce their school to visitors
- oral presentation skills
Excellence Programme - TTLT Programme (part of the X3 HDF)
P4 Oral Presentation course (with external agency)
- to train pupils on the finer points of making an oral persentation focusing on voice projection, articulation and body language
P5 Debate course (with external agency)
- to train pupils on how to build up an argument tree

Hi Mummies with P5 kids,
Did your children experience any rashes after the jabs ?
My son’s rashes started 10 days after the MMR/DPT booster jabs and I’ve been giving him Zyrtec almost every alternate day. Brought him to see a doctor today and he told him it can’t be considered allergy reaction to the jab either…in any case, he has given me a stronger cream to apply.
