Dear naggo, firefly n KSmom,


Thank you for the confirmation. My DS was just curious as to why third Lang teachers did not tell the class anything. There are so many petite test, intermediate tasks n final tasks plus big test n final exam .. He did not question last yr but guess he's now curious n wanted to find out. N being forgetful, he always forget to check w his teacher.

He's taking French .. N looks like not many taking French, but a lot in jap n German. Anyway, thanks for all e sharing. Appreciated!

You have to check MOELC website at least 2 days before the 3rd lang class. They download all worksheets via softcopy. Prepare to print out 15 pages.

the class conducted in Newton right? the teacher is muscular man, old lady or young lady?

Pupils need to download and print notes in advance for French, I think.. Am i right, Paddy? DS doesn't need to do so for Japanese Lang.. Not sure about German though..

Ya, no need to print for Japanese.. DS uses Textbooks and Workbooks only.. The notes has been bound into booklets and given to the boys on the first lesson..

How is your DS coping this year? Year-2 seems more hectic and busy, but DS still spends a lot of time on FB, You-tube, games etc.. So he sleeps around 11+ (sometimes 12+, even 1+) every night.. :scared:

DS will have an 01 Sourts orientation camp at Big Sister’s Island this Friday. Anyone know this Big Sister’s Island? We are worrying about the safety issues.

Hi Firefly,

My DS is the lazy type who does minimal .. so at times u can find him lazing around using his iphone or ipad playing games. We try to enforce habit of early nights .. latest by 11.

I think the boys will be fine. Hope they enjoy themselves.

I'm learning to let go.... And not worry so much, a least not in front of DS.

Sunj1252.. Is you DS back from the Scouts Camp? Did he enjoy himself? Btw, where is Big Sister Island? Is it St. John's Island, or Kusu Island?

KSmon8.. Yes, you must learn to let go.. I am learning to do so too, slowly but surely, though still quite reluctantly.. Haha!
