Comparing English Enrichment Programmes

[quirkymum]

Hi hquek,


My kids have been bugging to attend but I was hesitant as it is a camp and all…hearing what you say makes me feel more ‘fang xin’. Will call up the number for the camp event to find out more. But probably will be a day camper too.

hi quirkymum,


The church is located in a very deep in corner. Non-church members will have no clue how to get in. So security wise I quite fang xin.

Oh, that is good, I was wondering about that too. Thank you hquek.:)

My kids also really enjoyed the Big Camp too. They learnt creative writing, it helped reinforce what they have learnt at TAS. And most of all they got to play a lot of team work and group bonding games which they really loved.


The camp teachers all seemed very friendly and really made them feel at home. We will be going for this Camp United as well.

hi allcc6,


So far only creative writing book, spelling book and a grammar book. Vocab book is new. Upcoming is creative writing 2.

Are the spelling and grammar book available at Popular? Dont remember seeing them. :?

[hquek]

Spelling books is really a list of spelling words and how to break these down. I would not recommend to buy unless one is in the class - nothing exciting inside (like stories).


DS classes uses that as spelling list, so boh pian I have to buy.

For their camp (still undecided whether to send my kids)- has anyone sent their kids before, advisable to stay over night? How your kids found it?[/quote]


Hi Qirkymum

Your kid definately have fun. My girls (P1 & P3) joined their Camp in June 3D 2 N and Children’s Day program and they love it so much. Parent must learn to let go lah… heee hee hee

Yes agree with hquek, the spelling book is more a list of easily misspelt words, good to have to teach your kids but not a must have. The must haves are the compo and grammar books. But grammar book only available for tas students. You can get similar type of books where they explain the synthesis structures in Popular but for the front part of the grammar book where they explain the challenging grammar, that part so far I cant find in assessment books at Popular.
