Hi


See some old gals of RGSS here. Sorry for asking an irrelevant question, but does anyone know where/how to buy tickets for this year's RGSS Arts Festival concert?

Busymom, here's the website http://www.rgs.edu.sg/newsite/rgs130/artsfest.html
it's happening 12-13 Nov 2009.

Went for the Siow Lee Chin concert and it was TRULY like homecoming - saw Mrs Umu Choo, Mrs John, Mrs Pearly Seah (and I told DH and DD1 how I used to tremble at her shouting!!!!!) missed the Homecoming too.

Hey, this is an RGPS site leh...mebbe we should get started on the RGSS thread.

Luannee, KSP, EN...got the 50-year book thingy some time back. Very well done, I must say. I'll have to check her exact location in the class photo.

KSP:

I didn't get to see the 50th anniversary year book yet.

KSP, my girl got it yest leh... Since they are in the same class, should get it together? Maybe it's in her bag??

Oh btw I am taking leave this afternoon to be a PV at their swimming PE lesson later, after repeated requests by my dd

And I found that P3 onwards have P, Q, R classes. Why skip K, L, M, N and O ?

Let me check her bag tonight.

My girl also keep asking me to be PV for her swimming lesson but till now I haven't done any. :oops:

Is next week the last swimming lesson? Although she ever told me there are 7 lessons, I have lost count on it. :stupid:

Hi Luanee,

P,Q and R are GEP classes. Starts from P4 onwards.

Do they still maintain E/F class in P4 to P6?

Or majority of the P3E/F already got into P4P/Q/R?

E/F continues to be the top mainstream classes from P4-6. P, Q and R are GEP classes. I'm not sure but I think fewer than 20 RGPS P3 students get into GEP each year. I could be mistaken. Someone who knows better, please jump in.

[/quote]Last year, 18 students fr RGPS were selected for GEP. E and F are the 2 top mainstream classes and these students have a lot of opportunities to interact with the GEP students in the school.

This Friday August 28th will be the first round for GEP Selection. There are around 8 girls in my grls class sitting for it.

I heard some parents mentioning about the last lesson too, but all dont seem too sure. I thot there are supposed to be 10 lessons altogether?

Anyway it was fun yest, got to meet some of my dd's classmates whom she was eager to introduce to me. Some of the girls are quite friendly too and approached me to ask whose mummy am I? Haha... and a few commented my girl looks like me. Quite a lot of mummies there, plus one grandma and grandpa too. Now my girl wants me to go again but I said no no, cannot waste my leave

Andaiz, about the other thread on use of good vocabulary in composition, I commented on dd using mind mapping to do her composition.


I just had a chance yesterday to ask dd & she told me it was taught by her English teacher last year. Another forumer Mrs Wong commented in another thread that higher ability students tend to use mind mapping to do composition as well. Might be the reason why RGPS teacher is adopting this method to get students to use mind mapping to write composition.

Hi RGPS mummies


Do you know where do most of the other main stream (non E/F and GEP) girls go after P6? Based on the P6 briefing it seems that most of them go to Cres and St Marg’s. Is that accurate?

Thanks for the tip, EN. That'd be in P3, won't it?

I just saw her practice compo in \"King's Cake\" (Part of their Stellar program curriculum) very interesting - idea's there but somehow comes up mangled.


Mebbe I've to brush up on it myself to guide her on \"para\" mindmapping.
