Oic. My child selected for the chinese program…think he will hv to buck up.

[hquek]

Take it positively. I think mine needs the Chinese stretch program but he wasn’t selected. His Chinese can long bia

[fel2729]

I find tat chinese really quite tough to manage. I also won b able to teach by myself.

[hquek]

Ya. I gave up and outsource. Better leave it to the experts.


Btw my kid told me most of his classmates are on the stretch program…so it could be quite wide spread. I’m glad they are starting them young to build firm foundation then if they only do in upper primary and the poor child find it harder to catch.

Ya, agree w u tat at least e sch start them young. As parent we will hv to do our best to co-operate w sch for the child’s benefit. Tks for yr info!

I thought Stretch is only for those students who is good. Sort of stretch them to be even better. There is another program (cannot remember the name) that is for weaker students. Those average students will need to manage on their own.

But I think most P5/6 will have regular stretch lesson to cover the daily school syllabus.

My kid in P2, and we decided to forego the cca for another year. next year then join.

Me too.. Nxt year then join... But then i remembered i saw some of the cca starts at 1.35pm.. which means no lunch breaks for them?? or typo error.

Also, he just received letter to attend Chinese Stretch programme (2.15 - 3.15pm on Wednesdays)

I received it last week also. Was puzzled what is that stretch programme about. DD got it for both English and Chinese. Is it DD can't catch up that's why need extra lessons... I think they should add on to the letter. On what is the stretch programme about.. what is their aims.... etc.. so we parents can have a clearer picture also.

DM (Dear Mum) will help me fetch her back from school.

Any mummies know.. canteen still sells food after school or not?

Stretch program is enrichment program for top or weaker students. Since it is enrichment program, parent can opt out.[/quote]hi Smum, LSP is meant for the weaker students but I dun hear it so often nowadays.

Stretch program is quite ambivalent, a parent say it's for both end of the spectrum (top and bottom) so i quite curious what goes on but so far never bothered to check with my kid's teachers directly. maybe this mean he is in the middle - I'm happy with that. nonid too good, but dun have to scrape the barrel.

Are there changes to the cost of food in the canteen? I don’t remember reading it in the school’s newsletter. Maybe I missed out some note?

[hquek]

No news leh. Up again? I thought it increased already…

[SAHM_TAN]

I also dunno, yesterday dd1 told me there was an increased in price for the bee hoon that she usually ordered. So in the end she didn’t order becos she thought she didn’t have enough money. But today she told me back to same price. So I’m at a lost of what actually happened.
