Comparing English Enrichment Programmes

[hquek]

Actually, but for the fact that teacher have to mark superfast (becos they dun take home work to mark), I’m happy with big classes. Kids can bounce ideas off each other and it could be more ‘friendly competitive’ with more kids inside. But that’s my crazy idea.


Anyway, my kid loves his teacher to bits, so he has not entertained thoughts of changing teacher/centre.

Yes I am, I went in at 1230 pm haha first batch to go in…very ks. Crowd quite ok in the beginning, we got a few books then left for lunch will be back later. Yvonne the administrator is there and another lady. They are selling the cw writing and spelling book as well.


Now looking at the vocab book, it is v good. Have not seen such vocab books, they have 21 exercises and every exercise comes with vocab notes to explain the meanings, mnemonics and some examples of the word. I am also learning the diff between words like ‘reserved’, ‘withdrawn’, ‘supercilious’, ‘imperious’

Haha I agree with what you say about big classes, more friendly competition and my kids dont feel so bored.

Anyway, when are you going for the bookfest?

[hquek]

haizzz, you are making me panic, coolit. I’ll be going only tomorrow leh. Hope they will still have left.

[coolit]

Oh sorry, didnt mean to. Should still have, only second day of bookfest.

[hquek]

hee, just scaring myself for fun lah. Anyway, care to share more thoughts about the bookfest under the ‘Bookfairs’ thread? (Under happenings)

[coolit]

Did share a bit but not sure if its useful, its my first bookfest in a while and so hard for me to compare with last year’s. And I did not get to see much, thought I could go back but my kids and their cousins want me to bring them to catch a movie…majority wins. May go back on sunday.
