Hmm... i paid $17.50 too! So that means must get the report book? Ai yo, what a mess! Think my hubby de-select it when placing order online. :slapshead:
gorilla, the mummies are saying $17.50 includes report book already, so your hubby did the right thing
I asked if I can pay the $3.50 on top of the $17.50 and the lady mumbled something about no need to pay??? Anyway, guess she was meant the $3.50 was already included in the $17.50.

I think any language gets harder to learn and master as you start later. Some of the children in my DD's class struggle with French as the phonics is quite different from English hence the pronunciation. The language is further complicated with the feminine and masculine elements to each object. Her teachers don't encourage students with weak English foundation to take on French as it may jeopardize the learning of both languages. However, given the right encouragement and great teachers but most importantly, loads of self interest/motivation and ample opportunities to use the language, French is a beautiful language!
Hi phoenix,
Thanks for sharing. I agree, French is a beautiful language.
Do you speak French too? -

Chanel, Christian Dior, Hermes, Louis Vuitton..... Does that count? If yes, then I speak Italian too
I speak a little French but too rusty and shy to use lah....
Tinkerbelle, how is the school councillor? Do you know of any students with special needs on either extreme of the spectrum that the school supports through extension? -
Hahaha… pheonix, you’re funny!

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:
I think funkymonkey might be able to tell you more about the councillor. Funkymonkey, are you around? Maybe you can drop her a PM?
I don't have any personal experiences with the sch councillor but I've heard that she's good from both DDs. Apparently, she's very approachable and helps students with special needs, counsels students with family issues and also resolves conflicts among students. -

Hi Tinkerbelle,
The school councillor called and met us after the Orientation last Saturday. She was really nice but seemed to have more experiences dealing with special needs children. MY DD is not considered as a special needs child in the general sense, in fact MOE is working with the school to provide subject extension/acceleration for her as we didn't want her to enter P1 earlier. However in reality, she does have different needs which we were able to support in the private preschools but it's more rigid in the formal school system. -
