Firstly, I am a mummy of 13yo, staying in the North side. 😄

Hi I’m staying at Woodlands and new to this forum. I have a 5yrs old boy and intend to enrol him into arithmetic class. Any pros and cons in enrolling him to such class? Any parent can advise me on this pls

Hi there, welcome to the forum! It’s great that you’re considering enrolling your 5-year-old in an arithmetic class. I’ve had a similar experience with my child, and I’d be happy to share some insights.

Pros:

Early development of math skills: Arithmetic classes can help children build a strong foundation in math, making them more confident and prepared for school.
Problem-solving abilities: Learning arithmetic can improve logical thinking and problem-solving, which are valuable skills in all areas of life.
Boost in confidence: As your child masters new concepts, it can give them a sense of achievement and increase their self-esteem.
Fun and engaging: Many classes use games and activities to teach math, making it fun for young kids and helping them develop a positive attitude toward learning.
Cons:

Pressure to perform: Some children may feel stressed if the classes are too advanced for their age or if they feel pressure to keep up with peers.
Loss of interest: If the lessons aren’t engaging or fun, your child might lose interest in math or learning in general.
Less time for play: At this age, play is equally important for development. Make sure the class schedule doesn’t cut into playtime or cause burnout.
It’s a good idea to explore different programs to find one that matches your child’s learning style and keeps things enjoyable. You might also want to check if the class focuses on building a positive attitude toward math rather than just results.

Hope this helps! 🙂

I am sending my girl for belly dancing class at yishun on Friday late afternoons.

The teacher is charging $120 for 6 lessons.

Am hoping if we can find more girls to join us, it can be cheaper.

Parents who are keen do PM or comment k!

Thanks!

I am new, and not too sure how this whole things work…someone pls advise.

I have 2 girls, eldest 5yo (Mar 06), 2nd girl 2+ yo (Aug 08).

How do I update this list? or is somebody doing it?

BTW, not sure if it is good to call ourselves "Club Northlanders" cos teachers at Northland Pri sch call their pupils "Northlanders".

The student care center @ St Joseph’s Church (opp the school) is closing down in Nov.'11 Any nearby student care to recommend?
I believe most of the parents are getting panicky now looking for student care center.

i study at home myself. our school teachers give us extra worksheets to do n it is quite challenging. i think it is enough. i will say buy the top 10 exam papers is good. our teacher also recommend 😃 there r challenging questions there. i dun go for tuition. you should know sometimes PSLE they give easy sec 1 questions so i also find some easier normal academic math questions to do. my parents allow me to stayback in sch to study with my good frens. parents may think that good frens together will not study coz we all will play but i dun think that is true.even though we study together n joke around we still can study as frens together coz we can ask each other questions so we will know more about it. as for reponsibility..we always think far about our dreams n this makes us wan to study so that we can achieve it. we study everyday yeah tats true. you can ask him to think what will happen to him when he grow up..slowly he will realise the importance..tats wad happened to some of my friends..
