Tinkerbelle,


do u noe wen our P1 gals can select for nex yr's CCA?

Hi cantbearit2,
If selected for a CCA, your DD will receive a 'Letter of Invitation' to join a CCA which she has shown talent in during the Talent Identification Program, latest by Tuesday 15/11/11.

If your DD wants to continue with R Gym next yr and you don't hear from them by Monday evening, maybe you can drop an email to the teacher-in-charge of R Gym and CC a copy to the HOD for CCA, Mrs Ng Soh Lan, to enquire about your DD's status. HOD's email addresses are on pg 2 of the Helpmate.

However, if your DD is changing her CCA next year, then she will need to go for trials or auditions next yr when sch re-opens. The sch will send out letters to invite students to join CCA first week of sch.

Hey.. Is your daughter attending Julia Gabriel Reader and Writer class?

phoenix, thanks for the update, I mailed off my application for car label last Tuesday, hopefully it will be ready this Saturday.


Welcome, Tutee!

Tinkerbelle, how do the teachers identify students, if they are not even in the actual CCAs yet? So they will just observe through normal PE lessons?

gorilla, I picked up 2 淘树桃乐园 DVDs from the library, and its great First time, my dd watched it, she wasn't too keen but when she watched round 2, think she enjoyed it more. So now I have reserved another 2 copies

Hi tuteee, welcome!


michyms, glad your daughter likes it. There’s the English version as well which my girls love too! The younger one knows the lines of every character even the pet toad! I’m gonna get the Chinese Story Books.

[michyms]

Gorilla, your little one is so cute! My kids are extremely amused that a toad Is called \"ha ma\" in chinese ha ha. Would you have a link that shows how the story books look like?

[gorilla]

michyms, at least now the kids know toad in chinese


here's the link...http://www.sgshinekids.com/tao-shu-2812026641.html

you can find the books in the library too but i only managed 1 and it was in quite a bad shape

Gorilla and mychyms, guess u guys are the lucky ones. I bought the whole set for my DD and she complain is the most boring show...

[michyms]

gorilla, thanks for the info, there are copies in the library but its all over the place! But I'll go check out a copy first before buying


Just to recommend here is another series my kids love: 可爱的鼠小弟 series of 12 simple Chinese books. Even my #2 can read some of it as each page only has a few short lines and the drawings are hilarious. Check out the images of the books here. Full set can be found at most libraries.

KSMum, how about showing your dd a full Chinese cartoons instead? Tao Shu series is more factual with real people talking, so maybe she doesn’t like this kind.
