My DS’s started this E2K programme in term 3 of P4 last year. This programme is offered compulsory to 2 classes of the whole cohort and cost absorbed by the school. Yes, involved creation and experiments but not within the PSLE scope. There will be some competition taking place this year. I understand that the programme will continue all the way to 1st term of P6. DS enjoyed the programme so far.

By the way, just curious, is E2K offered at Pri 5 in your DD's school? I thought it is usually offered at Pri 4?

Should be from P5 onwards ...

Asked dd yesterday. She said no idea what is E2K and didn't recall participating in any E2K sort of Science activities :slapshead:[/quote]I remembered after the whole programme, DS1 got a cert from E2K/MOE GEP Dept which states that he had participated in the E2K programme which I used it for his DSA .... now waiting for DS2's .... :evil:

i dont think all schools have E2K. it's a pity for those HA students in schools that does not offer this.


i think some schools offered it in P4...

P4 EXCELLENCE 2000 (E2K) SCIENCE PROGRAMME

EXCELLENCE 2000 (E2K) SCIENCE PROGRAMME SINGAPORE


The Gifted Education Branch, MOE will be working with our teachers in an enrichment programme to cater to high-ability learners in Science in 2013. The programme was piloted in 27 schools in Singapore from 2009 to 2011.


The E2K Science Programme Singapore is a science enrichment programme developed by the Israel Centre for Excellence through Education (ICEE) for upper primary pupils who demonstrate interest and ability in science. We hope to nurture creative and independent learners through this programme.

DD enjoys E2K as the experiments conducted are always so fun. This year, they will be attending a few sessions of Little Professor on top of their weekly E2K sessions. Little Professor is conducted out of the school and DD can't wait for the first session.

Finally found someone who is going to the Little Professor too ! Wonder what is it about ? Is the competition at the end of the 3rd session or are they assessed throughout the 3 sessions ? DS2's school has 2 teams going.

DS2 school has external MO trainer for them and he is also in E2K as part of his program. So this year is really packed. 2 days of extra childcare not enough. :evil:

Yeah! :hi5:
I have no idea how many teams DD's school will be sending but I do know that only 22 kids are in the E2K program.

DS2 told me only 2 from his class got selected for Little Professor, the rest from the other class & Group 2 from mainstream ... anyway, it sounds quite interesting, just that parents need to bring the kids for the training

Hmm, your DS's school started in Pri 5? DD started E2K around July last year.[/quote]DS1 started in P5 if I didn't remember wrongly or is it P4 ? Getting old .... I think there is a E2K competition after that or something... then they will get a cert which I used for his DSA. But DS2 (change school, former school same as DS1) started in P4 as part of his programme.

DD has decided to give E2K a try. Now gotta wait for Math HOD to approve her withdrawal. Just feel a bit sayang becos she did MO for 1 year liao.Moreover, MO is more relevant to PSLE

Both E2K & MO are excellent for DSA.

Only if one wins in the competition, right? Anyway, my dd not DSA material, nothing to offer

I just hope she enjoy the program and make more new friends. Her social circle very small.

Frankly speaking, some schs get outside vendors to conduct these additional courses and at the same time they are also promoting their courses to the students hoping the parents will sign up with their centres. Some lessons run 8-10 weeks in sch and i'm not sure how effective it can be.


This is what exactly happened for my case. dd attended these extra lessons in sch last year and ended up attending in their centres now.

Do they charge the same fees when u sign up with their centre?

dd started Math Olympiad last year, and is suppose to continue this year unless we decide to opt out.

not the same, reasons could be class size and duration are diff......
