Hi vlim, we reached home on 22/12 about 7+am, took a quick shower, and 'flew' straight to RI. This firefly has put on quite a few pounds over the past few weeks that she couldnt fly so fast anymore, so she arrived a bit late for the registration, but luckily still could make it on time for the talk by the very sexy principal, who was dressed in bright red, haha!!!

Dear firefly, welcome back. Time flies, DSA then PSLE then zoom! Your DS and you are attending RI reporting. Wow P in bright red! All the best to your DS and the other Year 1 RI boys (DS of Ms Tay, vlim, MandyMummy, PaddyField etc etc)! What an exciting 2012! :please:

Thanks snow crystal.. Ya, the P wore a bright red, body-fitting, knee-length dress, which shouted ME!!!
Thot we would arrive on 21/12 evening, but when we reached spore, became 22/12 morning (i forgot to add 14 hours)! DH & DSs knew, except me, haha!! :oops:

It seems so but assembly is the second last period on tuedays ending at 1.30pm, followed by Cohort Time which ends at 1.50pm. According to my DS, this last period is a 'nonsense period' which enables him and others who take 3rd lang to have lunch at 1.30pm, leaving them plenty of time to walk over to MOELC.

DS does so primarily due to more-value-for-$ reason. Some prefer to da bao fast food from jn8 to eat at MOELC while others grab a quick bite at MOELC canteen w/c serves cup noodles too (warning: the exact same cup noodle is 20cents cheaper in RI).

Been some time since I checked this thread. First of all, would like to congratulate and welcome all the new members of the RI family (parents and sons). I wish you all the best in your 4 year journey through the Secondary side.


Now to answering some queries:
Regarding the Mother Tongue workbooks, I don't recall ever buying or using them. Teachers have only used the textbooks. In the off-chance that your son's teacher requires the book, he will be given prior notice, so just let your son purchase the book from the bookshop if need be.

Regarding the AEP, there will be a selection test for applicants, but I highly doubt that he will be rejected if he wants to join (not like Music where you must be Grade 4). The important thing to consider is whether he enjoys Art, and whether he is able to cope with an additional subject. However, since you mentioned that he does some Art and Craft with you for leisure, the former should not be a problem.

Do shoot me with some more questions, and Merry Christmas!
