I am still very concerned that they do not have spelling for English and Chinese. i understand this is a major part in many other pre-schools. I am thinking of writing to My First Skool headoffice. If more mummies write to them, i think they will do something about it.


What do you all think?

i support the idea. but first of all, any other preschool with spelling that u know of, im asking now.. it's more justifiable if we know there are in fact other preschool is doing the same.

If I can recall correctly, my little campus started spelling test for both English n Chinese in K1 maybe fr 2nd half onwards. Started maths intro - addition n substraction in Nursery. Word recognition fr PG (in flash card form) onwards with gradually increases no. Of words. My girl was with them till nursery. This ctr enforced in handwriting fr PG onwards. They would make sure yr kids will know how to write their name both in Englih and Chinese by end of their PG without the help of dotted line.

Unfortunately, they dont hv ctr in Seng kang.

For those whose kids in K2 in MFS, do you know when will they arrange excursion to Primary school?


Most of the other private schools I heard already done that even PCF.
