hi Gin,


compare 'Li Fang Lan' Maths workbook on model qns with Intensive Maths Drill workbook which you mention - which one is easier to start off with, for P1 qns on Modeling ?

To ínterupt', you may want to check out EPH's Simon (Eio?) 's assessment book on model drawings. Remember that the questions are very easy and it's a good way to build foundation. Not sure if there's P1 books. My eldest did the P2 book I think.

Can't remember full name, but it has 'Model Drawings' in its title. The one my eldest did had an orange and white cover.

Hi! I hv a 6yo DS too - in dilemma with school options and seeking your valuable advice...


My DS is a gifted child but has some social skill / behavioural challenges (strong independent thinking/reasoning) that will guarantee piss off \"no-question ask/intolerant\" teachers. We were told that he needed a compassionate school over a \"academically-competitive\" one and preferrably with smaller class size (~20 students to a teacher) to render him a positive emotional support. This is like reaching for the sky given our PS class size is 40! Do you know of any schools that are compassionate/patience and emphasize the holistic wellbeing of the children beyond the rat race of top rank/score? Doesn't academic performance come naturally if children are learning in an encouraging environment? BTW, we are in P2C and willing to move as long as he is in the right school... Thanks!!

Welcome..

Sorry.. can't advise... :scratchhead: but I am sure there are experienced parents who can...

Just wait awhile..

You may want to homeschool your child or... prepare him for school of hard knocks? Just kidding.

I am back..

Quick reply before I settle my kids one by one..

If both you and yur dh had discussed many time.. then no problem at all..

Just monitor when school starts.. and if the need arises.. maybe can transfer either one to join the sibling.. (just a thought)

ok, thanks castle!

MrsCKS feels her alma mater would do MsCKS a whole world of good. Who am I to say otherwise? Yes, logistics a bit harder, but sometimes, it also make the whole experience more meaningful.

it is a good school so you need not worry i guess. but are you sending them to school or do they take school bus?

Oopsie u mean cannot invent own model ah? I know some tuition teachers have their own way of teaching n their own methods and expect the kids to use their method. So I thought can invent own model.
