My child will be posted to Pri 2G next yr and assigned to take Higher Chinese by the school. I heard in other school, they were given a choice of selecting the Chinese level option when they reach higher primary.

Hi ladies,

I read with interests all the comments wrt Mayflower Primary.
I am planning to enrol my son to this school in 2013 becasue my Hubby was from there.

A few questions raised my eyebrows:

1> why did the kids need to learn typing at such a young age. Shouldnt the school be focusing on teaching them to WRITE instead of type? Cultivating a good handwriting skill teaches the kids to spell and learn words, and the formation of words…

2> Higher Chinese in P2 - gosh! I cannot help but opines whether the chinese is taught on a computer?

3> Seperate canteen, children safety?
4> Dancing classes?? gosh? soft skills…how about sports?

Guess we really need to see the Principal wrt her vision…a bit "sala" …

By the way, who knows what is the T score , or the PSLE scoring for this school…

I might need to re think my choice!

Thanks!
Tanggy

Just wondering why there aren’t many parents who post on this forum. Btw, my daughter just entered P1 this year (1 D) and is loving school. Looks to me like the teacher are doing a good job motivating the students and making lessons fun. Hope it continues …

Hi,


I’m disapointed with the limited choice for p1-p3 after school elective programs. Given only 4 options; guzheng, violin, story-telling and ballet to choose from. Others like chess, guitar, dance etc are only for P3 onwards.

Any parents with their child enrolled in any of these programs? Kindly share your experiences. thks .

Hi,


I am surprise to know they only provide for the arts..what about sports?

Anyway, compare to Teck Ghee, which school is better?

Had gone for the Parents Teacher Meeting with my child over the weekend. Teachers were helpful in providing their views and observations of my child in school. The feedback was provided to help parents understand the child behaviour in school as well as for parents to provide feedback of child while at home. The exchange helps to understand the child much better for both parties.


As my child was doing ‘ok’. There wasn’t much complains. But minor points to take note of his carelessness in Math. And feedback from Mother Tongue on ways to help improve his chinese.

Was also being told of the up coming challengers the child will be facing in Term 2. So as to get everyone prepared mentally.

My child will be having Story Telling class tomorrow. It’s a 6 lesson course for them to enrich themselves after sch. As there wasn’t much choice to choose from, i guess this course might be interesting for my kid. Fees payable $60. 2 hrs ea session.
