Hihi, I am a newbie... And I am posting into a old post


I signed up my P2 son into the Jun 2010 camp.

My kid luv the camp a lot. He even sugggested that he wanted to attend the next one. (well, he says that for most of the camps that I send him to anyway)

Let me recollect.... The contents for the camp in June contains of festival related (making of rice dumpling, ink painting), YOG related (colouring of Leo / Merly), some worksheet (on manners and some stories)

They also gave a T-shirt and my son luv it so much that he wears it ever so often.

I am quite happy with the camp mainly cos of the manners part. But I understand from the receptionist that every camps differs on that piece though.

Do no expect a crash course Chinese program. It is just as its name suggest - a cultural camp. So, it will be quite light in terms of content.

And yup, I will be sending him to the Sep one.

Hi


My two boys Pr 4 and 2 are there. The syballus are very close to MOE requirments. Most of the teachers are ex sch teacher or from china but they must have at least 3 yrs teaching experience in Singapore.

Sch fee abt 300 - 370 depends on level for 10wks lesson. Each lesson last 2 hours

[kaitlynangelica]

I think the price is okay.


Berries charges about $400 a term.

[gumiho]

It seem to be cheaper compare to Berries.


As what kaitlynangelica had mentioned, Berries is charging around $400.00 per term and 1hrs 45mins lesson.
