Hi Mummies with P1 gals,

Next Friday, there will be a Maths workshop from 630pm by Christina Cheong. Hubby will attend with pen and paper to do some sums. HaHaHa.
Can’t go as I have to be home with the kids.

I thought it will be in 2013 ? Will get details later...no problem we will get 'love letters' from the school nearer the date.

Hi Mummies of P2,

Can you give me some advice how to prepare my daughter for CL show & tell please ? This is something different. Thanks.

Hi Mummies with children from P2,

Did you spend most of the time coaching your daughters in spelling when they were in P1 ?
My daughter is in P1 this year…find myself coaching her in nothing but spelling (either CL or EL) the whole week.
When I emailed the HOD, she told me it’s not big deal learning CL spelling. It’s crazy !

Try to let go abit on spelling/tingxie. Allocate a set amount of time. If she gets it, she gets it. If not, it’s ok. One of my daughters in upper primary had spelling words that were (in my opinion) of secondary level standard (eg ‘fallacious’). As I felt that my daughter would not be using the words until much much later, I told her to try her best to remember them but if she can’t, just do corrections.


Really there are more important areas to help her with. I personally don’t attach much value to spelling and tingxie exercises per se.
