H, Is P1 NeuroMath classes by invitation only or anyone can attend?

As per what I know based on my kid these few years in naps, it's by invitation only.

Since it is by invitation, I presume the Maths teacher will identify the potential kids & make the recommendation?

BTW, since parents weren't allowed into school as of today, I asked my DS how he manage his recess time... He told me he bought food on his own and there were no P4 buddy to help them...

I double check the orientation booklet and it states there there will be a P4 student attached to help ur kid only next Mon (07 Jan) onwards...

I presume its because they brought forward the recess period of P1 to 9:45am just for this three days...

Its a funny arrangement to me becoz if the school is already leaving the P1 kids to buy food themselves on Day 2 & 3, then what's the point of assigning P4 kids to help next week? :scratchhead: :scratchhead:

The NeuroMath was not by invitation. It's more like an in-school math enrichment lessons (done by external vendor) and parents can sign the kids up and pay to attend. They go by modules - think they hv 3 or 4 modules a year.

HTH.

themselves. But come next Monday, when the P1 merge with the P3 & P4 for recess, it can be very daunting with so many upper primary kids.
Having a P4 buddy during that time is not a bad thing :boogie:

I doubt it's compulsory because my bro (p3 this year) was asked to join last year but he could swim. My mum thought it was ridiculous for a child who can swim to learn agin, so she checked with his teacher who said it's not compulsary. But you should check with your dd/ds's form teacher to confirm.

My DD brought all the books required for day 2 and the teachers only collected 1 book? Carry such a heavy load to n fro for fun meh?

[KP29]

Hmmm… my DD’s teacher collected all the books leh, except the jotter book n exercise book, which she said weren’t used.
