Hi


Any good creative writing classes in Punggol or nearby areas to recommend? Don’t seem to have much in this area…pls advise. Thank you!

DS1 doesn’t like classes. He figures it’s time away from cartoons, toys and shopping. So far he seems to be doing ok in maths - I gave him assessment books to do, mostly careless mistakes only. Anyway, he’s a funny boy. He will reject instantly at the first sound, but then he’ll be okay in class.

Hi,


Why do you all mention that Creative Horizons Language Centre is good? Are they effective in enouraging children to read/write or it's any other tuition centre using assessment book during their lesson? Are their charges expensive?

Thanks for sharing..

I too think Creative Horizons is good. I sent my dd there this year as she was having problems with compre and cloze. This year she fared quite well in these 2 components and am really glad. In Creative Horizons there is very little work. They teach skills in those various components and I find this very helpful. Classes are also very fun according to dd.
As the centre in Eastgate is new, class size is also very small.

Hope this helps.

Hi sammifan,

Does Creative Horizons covers Creative Writing?

Thanks.

Hi, I just saw your post. My kids go to Creative Horizons too and yes, they do creative writing. They focus on skills for creative writing like characterisation, setting and vivid vocab. Plot structures and the planning process is covered too.

One thing I like is that they DON’T just give word lists to the kids which I think makes them dependent on them. Then in school, they are lost when they aren’t provided word lists. The good part is they know what goes into making a compo an interesting one. The plot can be simple but the story is really narrated to capture interest.

I intend to send my boys there next yr, coincidentally, the founder was my ex-JC GP tutor.


Any one intend to send kids there for K2 and P2 ?? with 3 kids they can start new class. Me aiming for Eastgate brance, nearer my place.

If have sufficient kids we can ask them start a new class.

Most kids do not like to have more classes but maybe your boy can adapt fast and has a healthy curiosity for learning, that's why in the end he is ok in class.
