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.

ok. cherrie hearts has spelling at K1, hanyupingyi at K2. maths included.

Thanks for yr info. We hv cherrie hearts located at Seng kang cc. Might consider to send my dd2 when she is around 18 mths.

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.

Is it true? My girl is in K2 and I hv not heard fr her teacher. Will chk with them today.

Yes i was told they will arrange last mth of term 3 or 1st part of term 4.

I see mine already pre-occupied with other enrichments which I don't think they have unless they changed their plans. They have 5 in a week. (music which I didnt enrol, science, chinese, english and arts)

Dun know why takes so long for them to organize one. Other child care centres as I know already done with that including PCF.

If they plan at term 4, i think may as well we go to the actual school our kiddos are registered since the orientation takes place in Nov.

Hi micollh, there is abacus enrichment conducted in my dd class commenced from mid of last yr when she was K1. However, I enrolled her in another English enrichment conducted by logic mill but result not so gd and hence withdrew her fr this enrichment program.

As for abacus enrichment, heard fr my dd tat no. Of her peers withdrew fr this class and attended CMA.
