Lizhi, yes TTLT is indeed very good, but no worries for you... Your DD is so intelligent, I'm sure she will qualify for either GEP or TTLT...

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.

Hey, my son has no rashes so far. In fact, he doesn't even have the bump that most adults still have on their upper arm as a 'souvenior' of the BCG jab then! Totally flat, like no 'evidence' that he had the jab before! I told him the bump could pop out later :lol:

So it is possible that your son's rashes may not be due to that, in fact, allergies should subside by now after 10 days? Did u check with his classmates?

How time flies. It seems so recent when we parents happily went for the P1 Orientation Day last Nov, no doubt full of anticipation and zeal. Well, today marks the first month of formal education for ds. As a keen observer, how shall I rate the experience for him so far? Starting with academics …


Academics
DS frequently complained that lessons are boring for all 3 subjects as he has been taught them before. But before anyone congratulate me for preparing him well, I must quickly add that those activity sheets that he brought back for me to sign are usually full of mistakes. Rarely do I get one that is error free. I must find one day to sit down and have a quiet word with him on the relationship between lessons he *thinks* he knows and the scores in his worksheets. That said, I realized that the teachers are strict with handwriting which is a good thing. Quite a few of ds’s answers were marked incorrect due to his illegible handwriting.

Physical
This is one of ds’s favourite activities. Sometimes he’ll spend the whole of recess running around and playing the fool with his classmates. I’m glad I signed him up for table tennis as a CCA. Like most things outside of studies, ds will throw his life and soul into it. As a parent, it’s extremely satisfying to see one’s kid so enthusiastic about something.

Social
DS made two good friends in his class within the first week of school. They are both boys. DS still refuses to mix with the girl that is sitting next to him, saying that boys and girls talk different things. It also helps that he has some childhood friends from his kindy who are studying in the same school. Sometimes one of his kindy friend and him will spend recess playing the piano in the school. Clever boy! Playing piano is an excellent way to attract girls in future.

Spiritual
DS attends the recess prayer every Tues and Thurs. One day, he came home and told me that it is ok if he doesn’t do well for his studies but he must not do bad things. Apparently the in-house preacher told him that. I was very happy to hear this because I could never say it (the part about never mind not doing well for studies of course).

In summary, things turned out relatively well. Of course there were times when he was reprimanded by teachers for making small mistakes. But I take it as part and parcel of training for NS so I’ve no problem with that.

Hmmmmmmmm .... Bro Mark has Turn Reflective! :roll: :roll:

But Am Glad your ds Adjusts Well and Enjoys Schooling, Some More Handling Academics Work Very Well ....

Mark, I Find that For Boys this Age, They Tend to B More \"Physical\" than Academics - Well, at Least Mine R!

And they Tend to B Looking at the Biiiiiiiiiig Picture (As Most Male R) Rather than Small Details (which Female R Generally Better at) ....
Hence the Small Mistakes .... And Imperfect, Error-Free Work Sheet.

Agreed that U Should Find Some Time to Talk to your ds ....
May B Cultivate the Habit of Checking ....

And Improving His Penmanship, as Well ....
Marks R Hard to Score in Tests and Exams, But to Loose it Due to Illegible Handwriting is Such a Pity ....

Hope that Your ds will Continue to DO Well ....

[quote=\"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....

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?[/quote]My daughter also got the maths and English forms. But they all crash with her CCA. Seems she does not want to quit her CCA while I really want her to join. Having a headache how to cope with this.
