Thanks Beanstalk and ladies for your comments.


I read that other schools have things like inline blading,speech and drama etc incorporated into the Pri 1 curriculum.. does IJ TP have any 'extras' meshed into the curriculum like that?

On their website, they state they have 'internal enrichment programmes'- what are these?

The only external enrichment is Ballet? any others?

Thanks

Am not sure about other schools but the activities you mentioned are offered as post-exam activities, during curriculum time. My daughter tried inline blading but it was too rough for her (she's quite 'xiao jie'). Think Speech and Drama is part and parcel of English lessons...anyway, most of these girls don't need to be taught to talk and be drama! Aiyo, they can get full marks for English Oral!

Believe Chinese Speech and Drama is/was offered outside of class time.

Ballet is offered after school within school grounds; am not sure how many take it up. I know many girls like mine, who go for ballet lessons outside school; think they were already enrolled before P1 so chose to continue with whatever school/center they were in.

Hey I agree with you ! These girls do not need any more Speech & Drama lessons...they can get Oscar/Golden Horse awards for drama. I always tell hubby that daughter is such a fantastic actress. Even my older son shakes his head.

Hi Mummies,

Just curious to find out more about IJ TP (primary).
Maybe I’m bias bcos I am an old gal and now daughter is also studying there, but is it true that IJ TP primary is better in terms of academic & behavioural aspects compared to other IJ schools ?

Hi,


though i’ve registered long time ago, i have not posted in this forum before. Are we allowed to mention class here? I’m trying to get to know some parents whose daughters are in the same classes as my daughters…

on a separate matter, anyone whose daughter in P2 and taking ballet? wanted to hear views about the fact that the gals are not given time for lunch at all…

thanks!

Dear mrmrskoh, unless your post contains material that are indecent or may be interpreted as personal attacks on individuals or organisations, you are pretty much free to say anything you want. It is for parents to network with other parents. Post enough details for other parents to know what you are looking for and they may contact you either publicly in the Forum or privately through the Private Message (PM) system.

Hi Mummies,


Any ideas what the P1 briefing EL, CL & Maths is about? Is it necessary to attend? Need your advise urgently. (It says not compulsory.) Thanks.

Hi My gal is in P2 Orchid and P3 Orchid!!

My gals did not take up ballet in sch..but the they stay back in sch 2-3 times per week up till 4pm for Enrichments/remedials/S&D.

I would say quite tiring for them as they wake up 530am in the morning to get ready for sch. This yr I find that they hv incorporated PAL (2hrs!!) into the P2 timetable..I dunno what is the purpose of this programme. I asked my gal and she just said they had quizzes and games with their form mistresses..hmmm...

My gals does complain that sometimes they cannot buy food in the canteen cos of long queue or not enough time (held up in class), so I always put some light snacks in their bags as backup.

But for lunch at 130pm - I always urge them to get something in the canteen, even a packet of milo is ok. I told them if they are still hungry during remedial/enrichment classes - they shd seek permission from their teachers to eat. My older gal did it once..she missed her recess as she had to see the sch dentist..then during gym lessons, she felt hungry and the teacher allowed her to go the canteen to eat.

Not compulsory but parents are encouraged to attend.
Hubby will be attending as I have to look after the kids, since briefing is for parents only.
