cantbearit2,
yes, very true about ICR programme, i just withdrew my DD from ICR too, she joined ICR when she was 5 plus already but i could see the improvement as independent reader as well as spelling too. During the pre-school was still okey as no homework or less work to do but since we started primary school, every nite is like in a battle, especially we put our DDs to GSSC so no morning time is allowed to prepare for any test/spelling/HW that we'll have to finish it all at nite time, so i really want to rest over the weekend, we (DH and i) don't want to spend weekend to push her to do HW/spelling to prepare for her weekend enrichment classes, feel so pitiful for her or DH and i can't take it anymore too, haha..

Given my colleague's experience, I have decided to delay sending DD2 to ICR. Part of the reason my DD1 learnt pretty well in ICR is prob bcos she started late (i noe, it's irony). :?jesyeo:
Yeah..sounds very much like my DD2. I have also tot of enrolling her in ICR but my friend said I so kiasu. hahaha..
I personally found the course pretty tough but given my DD's age, I found it easier to go thru the lessons wif her as compared wif my colleague's DS.
Her DS started the course at an earlier age and got promoted pretty fast. However, she found it tough for her DS esp the ICR stage. He is still not an independent reader so my colleague realised that she needs to spend a lot of time juz gg thru the weekly 2 page long story. What more to say the weekly compre questions & long spelling list.
So I guess will wait till nex yr when DD2 is in K1. -
Tinkerbelle and all,
do you know the details of celebrating birthday at school? how does it go? i didn't know if we can hold a mini birthday celebration at school during recess until DD brought back a goodies bag y'day so i was wondering can we do that? coz DD's b'day is coming up, sigh...need to prepare 29 goodies bags and a cake, is it?
TIA -
no worry, term 1 results are not taken into account, only starts from term 2

Just a spelling test?? If I recall correctly, last year, DD2 had a mini diagnostic Eng paper but only selected components like, rearranging sentences, compre MCQ, grammar & vocab. P1 only had the full paper in SA2. Maybe the sch is revamping the P1 syllabus. -
