Me.

TwaTau:

Bo leh (Hokkien), didn't receive any notice like that.

Then maybe u can check w the form teacher abt this talk. Maybe they think u no need to attend as u have no problem communicating w your kid haaaaaa

[TwaTau]

Boleh (Malay)! My communication with my DS is very smooth. The typical conversation is in concised single word response,

Tks for the headsup, vlim.


Is this a parenting talk? I haven't been invited but will ask if I can go. Do you have further details? My son macam like from different planet sometimes ... :frustrated:

Sorry Blobbi, I may have missed out some of your posts. I know your child is EG but he is in P1. Does it mean that he has been accepted to GEP at P1 already because he is EG?

MotherHen:

Deadline for solar cooker is 22 April according to DD. Have to bring the contraption to school and cook an egg with it... hopefully.... :xedfingers:

I think also need to submit a poster explaining their creation.

Thanks TwaTau for the encouragement. You're right i think the kids will cope, somehow. Must really try to let go of the mother hen instinct in me.. :lol:

Any of your kids finished constructing the solar cooker? My dd's cooker seems sound in theory but when tested, the egg wouldn't cook

wonder how much time they will be given to complete the experiment on the actual day?

Think SS portfoilio assessment is due next week? Dd has not finshed that as well.

Hi Neko, care to share what they have to do for SS portfoilio assessment. Ever since the completion of family tree, I have not heard of anything :? TIa

Ha, ks2me!! Nolah. He still has to take the test, as far as I know. EG means they are given individual accomodations by MOE, which cld mean acceleration or enrichment via the school.

In my son's case, EG means Extra Garang. I'm EG too - Extra Geram. :lol:

I'm hoping that if this is a parenting talk (sounds like it), I may be allowed to listen in.

Maybe this talk is to teach the parents how to 'ease' their p5 gep child from the terribly, heavily workload..... I start to feel the 'pressure' nowwwwwwwwww

Goodness... dd only printed out another copy of the interview write-up, and said that teacher needed it for portfolio (and that was about a week ago). Didn't say anything about having to put together a portfolio by next week. What are they supposed to do for the portfolio? Any detail is appreciated. TIA.
