This yr in p2 they r slowly increasing the amt of tingxie n spelling. Longer sentences to prep them for moxie. I doubt the sch is not kancheong, but i think they r building up momentum Its too ingrained in the system la

It's impossible that Pei Hwa is NOT kancheong...given the academic driven culture all these years.

dyh,

Great that school is starting MO training earlier at P4. So if my ds has an inkling for Math come P3, he can then get MO training in sch and i can save money. If he doesn't have any Math inkling, then he doesn't need MO training and I can save money too.

i did not make myself clear. The MO training only starts in P5. but as i understand, only those who are in M1 class in P4 the previous year are selected.

not so serious lah .

So finally the math olympiad training is here. And it seems to be offered to all who were in TTLT math in P4? Will your son be going for the school MO training since you said he goes for the math hub one? Mine will opt out the school MO training since it will become like repetition...

My boy did not attend last year TTLT Maths. I did not hear any sch organised MO P5 from him. He has opted out of this year TTLT EL & MA too. I hv also pulled him out of Maths Hub this year.

Fqw, yup, those 2 boys like to share gossip, food, cca n aspirations. I m just glad he is getting some exercise let's see how enthuse they will remain in a few mths time!


Does anyone know when does the swimming lessons start?

So the swimming lessons are starting earlier now ? My son's modular CCA (swimming) started in P3 or P4. The good thing is, it was conducted during curriculum time.

Looking through the timetable of the TTLT Maths. They offered the MO lessons in Term1 and 2. But don't know how related to the MO competitions. I still registered my son for this year's TTLT Maths. Including The Sup class, CCA, he need to stay 4 out of 5 afternoons in the school.

[/quote]The MO competition is some time in the mid-year, so the school training is definitely geared towards the competition. Surprisingly last year's school magazine did not mention the pupils who took part in MO. Prior to that, they had a list of the pupils with the award achievements. it cannot be that nobody won an award last year?

Very surprised to hear that all M1 pupils are offered the MO training, not like in the past only a selected few.

The reason why we opt out of this year TTLT programmes was the consideration that my boy would be spending 4 weekdays in sch. Add on his Wed piano class, it would be 5 afternoons.

Abt the MO training, I would advise not to rely too much on the sch provided training IF a more prestigious award is desired.
