Hi to all, need to check if anyone can recommend a good BASC around BTPS? Just registered my DS there this morning for P1 next year. Need to look for one. Went around the area and sae Cherie Heart at Eng Kong. They claimed to have student care but there isn't any kid attending student care there currently (??)

Hihi! Good news! there's one at Lorong Kilat - The Kidz Club. Strictly Student Care. Tel: 64646468. Ask for Mdm Lim.I just registered my DS this afternoon at BTPS too! I reiki TKC months back, which is pretty decent. They have many student from PHPPS and BTPS. They provide tuition and supervision of homework. I've secured my place with them. As more schools are in morning session, there's more student in the afternoon at the centre than morning.

Add: 33 Lorong Kilat #02-03 Kilat Centre Singapore 598132. Website: http://www.thekidzclub.com.sg

There's also a Kinsland at Block 5 Toh Yi Estate. But I didn't quite like it cuz it's a child care and pretty noisy.

Cheers!

Welcome to BTPS!

Wonder what the MOE maths test is for? DS said the Sectjon is really diffocult. He said it was the most difficult questions he had ever encountered. To him, it was like P4 maths.


So did yr P1 kids feel the same ? :?

Huh? What MOE test? For P1? My DS didn't say anything about a Maths test leh (but he has maths topical review test for multiplication and division today - is it the same one?).

Hi,uaywenandkenneth,

DS said that the people is from MOE., He thinks it is a \"look for a pattern test\". He said no words so at first he couldn't tell if it is maths or not.

BTW, yr DS just turn 7 yesterday? Congrats your son one year older liao.
I am actually looking forward to DS P2 in 4 mths time now.

Maple, oic. I was wondering what pattern test ds was talking about as well. I thought it was strange that the school would administer this, but if it's from MOE it makes sense though it's the first time I've heard of them doing this at P1. Maybe it's a pilot project.


hnk (hope u don't mind i shorten it), it's different from the review test. As usual ds1 says he knows the answers but doesn't know how to show the working for the review test. :faint:

Oh, I forgot to ask DS yesterday about the MOE Maths test - will go and ask him later this evening.


Yes, it’s very heartwarming to see my little boy now BIG at 7 years old. He is also mighty pleased with himself yesterday when we sang a birthday song to him (and he had 3 cakes - 1 bigger one over the weekend from my parents in law, another 2 smaller ones from my mum and my brother… so I didn’t get another one. He is asking for toys from the school bookshop (Angry Birds and King Pigs! Ha!)

Time really flies. They will be P2 soon. Better treasure the time when they are still young and "cute"!

MOE knows that they have to do something to BTPS to boost profile, boost result and standard cuz if they don’t, be madness for next year P1 registration. Already this year everyone is screaming MADNESS. This year within 1 km all except BTPS requires balloting in Bukit Timah area. Very crazy!! Glad I’m sane enough not be part of it!!!

[cnimed]

Huh? I don’t think MOE does anything to boost any schools, except maybe when setting up experimental formats like Schools of the Future scheme. In any case, it seems that this patterning test is carried out in a number of primary schools, not just BTPS.

[huaywenandkenneth]

I asked my DS whether he took any patterning test and he went \"huh\"? He said there was a test which he did across two days on timestable (or something like that). If he had ever done it they have camouflaged it really well If not he is just super blur as usual. Maybe it was just random sampling of classes? My DS in 1 Resilience.


For Topical Review I hope he remembers to show the working. He finds it \"unnecessary\" but sometimes he gets careless and the final answer is wrong. And \"checking\" is not in his vacabulary. :roll:
