Chloecube,


Do you know anything about the teacher is collecting a grey file from the class?

You see, my girl came back yesterday all stressed out that we dont have such thing and started crying as she was afraid that she will get scolding from her teacher.

Today, she managed to find out that the file cost $8.50.

Was this in our booklist? If not, did you receive any note that the class needs to get this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Myeo


My DS had the same problem. It is not in the booklist so I just gave $8.5 to him to pass to the teacher.

I can’t recall cos I threw the booklist away. But I remember seeing a big file together with the books we bought. DD was also very stress abt the file as she said she doesn’t have. So I went to find the form teacher n she told me 3 files w/o name tag n doesn’t know who it belongs to. I believe one of them is DD’s. The teacher say she will check n get back. I let u know again.

Btw, DD also very stress n could not sleep well at nite n insist I must go n see the teacher first thing this morning.

Its nice to have children so concerned about responsibility and repercussions.

If it were my boy…it will definitely be his boh chup attitude being demonstrated.

Hi!


How would you compare Haig Girls' School to Ngee Ann Primary? Which one is better?
My P1 son is at Xinghua Primary where we have no complaints whatsoever; however, living in the east, it is not ideal. So my son has been on the waiting list for Ngee Ann Primary.

My P3 daughter is at Haig Girls' School and while we are pursuing a more convenient school choice for my son, we were considering moving our daughter to Ngee Ann Primary as well --but only IF IT IS A BETTER CHOICE THAN HAIG GIRLS' SCHOOL.

Does anyone have any comments or advice for comparing these two schools? Ngee Ann Primary has called and scheduled meeting with my two children...

:please: Would greatly appreciate your insight.

Mummies,

i received a letter on the mandarin streaming for the P1 kids, does anyone have any information on that?
TIA!

[Myeo]

I have also received the letter. I did not know that they already started streaming in P1.

[chloecube]

Dd got the letter too. But I do not know what it meant by ‘core’. Haven’t got chance to see the MT teacher

The school explain the grouping for mandarin during orientation. They will assess the child’s oral communication skills in first term to see if they will be grouped ‘core’ or ‘basic’ - i cant remember the exact terms.


In the chinese textbook, there is a ‘basic’ section, ‘core’ section and ‘enrichment’ section. For the group who needs more help with communication ie the ‘basic’ group, they will cover the ‘basic’ section before going to the ‘core’ section.

I dont think there is anything to be concerned about - the grouping is just to identify kids who are not exposed to Mandarin at home and to give them closer attention.
