Primary Science Olympiad

Congratulate to your son!


the 2010 Singapore primary science olympaid which is organised by NUSHU was over. Not all students get the chance to take part as I think the participating school will select 5 students to participate in the first round..unlike NMOS and RMSO, students who are keen can take part...

Thanks, and that's correct. My son did not participate and thought he could this year... until he found out it was for p5 students.

My son was selected by his school to take part in this year science olympiad by RI. I asked if there is any training as there are training for Maths olympiad. But he told me, the teachers said, they read up on their own. He did told me that the school had a selection test and only the top 15 pupils were selected for the science olympiad.


Since the competition is on 21 May, I think after his SA1, he must grab all the time to start preparing for his Science Olympiad.

Everyone who participated in ds’s school got into the Final in June.


But I just found out we will be traveling on the final dates. Have not told ds yet. Think he will be disappointed.

Hi sandunes,

same here. ds got into the finals and I have told me that we will be oversea during the period of time. He seems disappointed and now requesting to see if he can miss the trip while we travel. I have called up the airlines and know that I can't change my air tickets date. I will be calling up again to check, if I book for 4 person and 1 can't fly, will it be alright.

For ds school, only ds and one more of his friend got into the finals. I saw the email, only 48 got into the finals. So he knows it is a rare opportunity and doesn't hope to miss it. I am caught in a dilemma too. :frustrated:

Is it for you, definitely your ds is going to miss it? For my case, I am still trying to work out something. *sigh*

I am not sure how his reaction will be. It is going to be a tough decision because the trip is to visit daddy who is working overseas.

I realised that he has to make very difficult decision recently.
Eg.
-Leadership camp vs Math Camp
-attending extra robotics class to prepare for competition vs joining the class outing to the movies (this was particularly difficult cos he wanted so much to go to the movies but couldn't cos they were not ready at all for Robotics)

I can't change / cancel the tickets too as they are restricted tickets. We will most likely miss the final.
