My dd is interested in the Shanghai program but I do not intend to let her go. There should still be opportunities when she is in secondary school.

The AMEC (Advanced Maths Enrichment Club) will be conducted by Maths Aha! The fee is $180 for 12 2 hours lessons. I thought it should be free since it is considered CCA. :evil: Is it good?

Following up on the Shanghai immersion programme.


I think the P4 students got their forms today and need to submit them in by 13 Jan 2012. 40 will be selected to go after an interview. This will include a home-stay as well.

My current thoughts ...

(a) P4 seems a little too young for them to venture out especially on a home-stay. Not sure if the home-stay will be a 1 NYPS student to 1 family. If so, my DS will freak out for sure.

(b) March temperature in Shanghai will be between 5-13 degrees? Too cold?

(c) Its a technology immersion programme - just what is covered, I am not too sure

Can any of the experienced mummies and daddies please advise and provide your own or your DS DD experiences?

Many thanks!

Anyone from last year's batch ... care to comment?

Like to get feedback on the enrichment class \"Speak with Oomph!\".


Did anyone send his/her child to one of these before? Is it any good?

Why don't you try it out and share your feedback here?

We signed up for robotics, as requested by DD. Hopes she likes it. :xedfingers:

Any parents whose kids have participated in the E2K Science programme? Is it good? How long (e.g. weeks/months) is the programme?


Thanks!

If I'm not wrong, 3H - 3K.

if the child likes math, it will be worth it

it is slanted toward math olympiad, but is insufficient to be used solely in place of MO training

thanks.
