Hi…would like to check if gymnastics is considered under DSA? Thanks


For all those keen on joining Badminton school team (usually from P3 onwards I think), it is advisable for your child to be enrolled in the enrichment class in P1. By P3, badminton is only offered as CCA and the school team is formed with those who joined the enrichment classes since lower primary. Badminton CCA also usually is very "hot" and selection is usually required just to join as CCA. Badminton has always been very strong in TNS. Won many competitions in the past. For parents planning ahead for DSA (Direct School Admission) with sports, and in particular badminton, you may want to take note.

Hope the above helps.[/quote]

my Pr2 DS brought home a 4 paragraph Class Dictated Story (CDS) unit 2 - bubble troubles. :shock:

Is this entire 4 paragraphed CDS meant for dictation?

Sorry Tankee, have no idea on this. Not sure my ds had this in P2.

Hi Starrenee,
You will need to check the secondary schools which you are targeting to see if Gymnastics is 1 of the CCAs that the school focus on. Perhaps you want to check those sec schools' websites?

Hi,

Am asking this question on behalf on my brother. He's an old boy of Tao Nan and is thinking of sending his dd to the school in a few years time. He claimed that he heard that the school is shifting. He's not sure if it's a temporary move due to PRIME or a permanent shift to a new location. Can anyone help to verify this? :?:

Thanks

There is no official words yet, just a lot of rumors.

Hi mummies,is it true that children attending TNS usually can read quite well?


I was just asking a mum abt reading level for k2 to be able to cope well for TNS p1…she said most children r good readers - example geronimo stilton n magic treehouse series for p1… As in they have progressed onto chapter books.

Is that the requirement?or the norm?

I don't think this is a requirement but probably, given that parents nowadays are more involved with their kids and a lot of pre-school kids have enrichment and tuition, I suspect it is more of a norm. In any case, it is always good to cultivate the reading habits from young.

For your info, please refer to the attached link for recommended reading list for P1.
