CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh)

[janet88]

There are 15++ words for the first spelling...one of which is 'outrageous behaviour' and 'contagious disease'...daughter told me 2nd week onwards, there will be 20.


I remember my son was tested this word 'outrageous' in P5. Will there be more outrageous ones expected at P3 ? :yikes:

Thanks for the reply, I’m Just checked the MOE distance from my house to CHIJ is within 0.41km. Means is within 1km. And I do read the Registration detail is

So Is My Gal is SPR still got chance to register or not?

My daughter is in C5 for her Chinese class.

We were not settled into school :razz: although the 听写/默写 list was given earlier. She flunked it...my fault. But told her no more failing again.
That 默写 is a new thing for my daughter...it is actually part of a 作文...really got 墨水，蓝蓝的天空. Reminds me of my son's time in P3.

Have to push this girl in her languages.

My son also got the words \"contagious disease\" in his spelling at P3. It's ok to expose them to big words lah... mission schools are known for inculcating good English from young.

yes I agree and English is the way to go quite frankly. Even in the U, your English has to be good to understand the whole picture.

I should have known better...convent schools are usually stronger in English.

I joined 2 years ago but hardly log in…and i didnt know there is this thread!! its cool! My gal is P2 this year and yes i m an ex IJ gal myself. Like what some of you have mentioned, we have a strong sense of belonging and it always feel so nice to be back home again. I always look forward going back to school for events.


So far no updates on CNY yet hor…looking at last year, I dont think there will be any early release and putting on CNY clothes.

No update yet...just checked the school calendar.
I have washed some new clothes for my kids.

My gal is in P3...there is this feeling of home when I see my princess in that blue pinafore. Daughter asked if I have another daughter, will she go to IJ?
:faint:
She is crazy over her newborn cousin.

Hey, check with you gals, does IJ Toa Payoh offer Higher Chinese from P1 / P2? I know it is not SAP school but I know of some non-SAP schools offering Higher Chinese in lower primary.
