Hi, I am a newbie. I need advice for science & maths tuition for my girl (P4 next year), she scored 19/20 for her problem sums but had a lot of careless mistakes in Sect A & B so she only got B3 in the end. As for Science, she had a B3 too. I think MB set quite a tough paper for them this year. So, should I go for enrichment class like MindMax or MPM maths, mindstretcher, etc. for her Maths? As for science, i am opting for Formation as Chancery Court.

Hi jennykhots,

Welcome to KSP. Unfortunately over here, we don't seem to have alot of upper primary MBS parents contributing to the forum. You might want to look at those section that discuss specifically on maths/ science lessons for upper primary. That might be more helpful.

But pls share your experience with us. :lol:

ok thanks MMM.


cos we wanted to sign up kids for swimming but the weather these days are wet thus we are hoping that if school has it, it will be good

MMM:

For this year, yes it is actually during PE lessons.

The lesson is supposed to teach them how to swim. But I think it's only for 1 term???? Jsmum can you comment?

I recall the school soliciting for parents volunteer for this activity as well, extra pair of eyes.

Hi,

There are 8 lessons altogether. No problem if your kids cannot swim. The instructor will separate out the kids who cannot swim. Both my kids do not know how to swim too. If I remember correctly, I paid $10. Transportation and a swimming cap included. After swimming lesson, the kids will wipe dry, go back school for lesson. That is why they need to wear swimming cap.

hi MMM,


btw, are there any pools in the sch? or any cca on swimming?

Unfortunately swimming is not one of the MBS cca. The swimming school do welcome kids to continue learning swimming from them after the 8 lessons.

Actually, I find after 8 lessons my kids still do not know how to swim. At least they are more confident to kick water and float. Further lessons will definately be needed.

hi.


agreed.

my child in 1H. how about yours?

Pine:

As parents we would like to have the best for our children, I can't basically complain too much about their services as I think everywhere would be the same. Most important, is that your child like the environment and location is convenient.

Age 6 and 8 this year.

Is your child going to P1 in Maha Bodhi next year? Which class?

Hello Jenny,

My girl is also P4 next year. Wonder what to expect in P4.

Hi,


My son will also be in P4 next year. I agreed that this year’s science paper was quite tough. On top of that, unlucky to get a lousy and irresponsible teacher this year so his grades was kind of pulled down. Anyway, taking chance of school holidays now, giving him intensive tuition with a new tutor highly recommended by a friend.

As for the swimming lesson, my son had his at Geyland East Swimming Pool. Not too sure for next year now that the school has moved back to Ubi. Don’t understand why is only for 1 term. For swimmers, is a good time for practice. But those who has not learnt swimming yet, don’t think that they are able to pick up the skills in 8 lessons !!!
