Jesyeo, hope your mum will get well soon!!


Cantbearit, I saw ur DD on Friday, waiting to go for R Gym. She's cute! Surprising, tho she takes e same school bus as my DD, they dun seem to know each other at all! By the way, DD got into the P1-P2 school team. My poor mum will have to bring her to school twice a week now. My mum has become so busy with her these days.

And thanks for the detailed write up on the parents briefing! DH was not paying attention and I din manage to catch some stuff as I couldn't really hear the FT.

Funkymonkey, I think I saw you, or rather your back. Your DD was wearing yellow PE shirt?

Yes!!!! I was the one RIGHT UNDER the Principal's nose!!!!

Did any Respect class parents see a lady wearing yellow blouse, white specs with a skinny small gal wearing pink hanging around the corridor of respect class? That's me! Went to the school as my DDs cannot stay in the ICU.


I went into the class after the brief to look for funkymonkey but my DD said din see u.

Hi jesyeo!!!
Too bad I missed you!By seconds!!!
I ran off right after the briefing as I didn't want to leave my gal on her own at the foyer.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Your DD is very cute!!! She's the active type...can't sit still for long type, is it?? :imconstipated: Next time, cannot work in office liao...

Slow and easy wins the race...give her some time to adapt to the longer hours of sitting around in class. ..keke. I'm sure Wednesdays must be her favourite day of the week.

Working in office? I don't dare to think so far......

Yes tinkerbelle, I hope that she will get used to how school in Spore is soon.
I console myself that at least she is able to tell me what went on in class, what was required, wrote down what is the homework of the day....

IM still trying but can b quite paisay cos she chin chye do then her FT told me her handwriting needs improvement. Argh...!!!! Dun noe wat to tell the FT...... :oops: Looks like mummy so lazy, din even bother to ask DD to write neatly. sigh.

Same here! As much as I want DD to learn to b more responsible for her own learning, I'm afraid the FT will think mummy is so bo chap, cannot be bothered to monitor DD's work. Sigh..

Me 'three'!!!
Totally understand how both of you feel....

Hi jesyeo,

:congrats: to your DD on being selected for Dance Club. I'm sure she'll enjoy it. The Modern Dance Club got Gold with Honours last year for the Singapore Youth Festival...quite an achievement huh!!

Good to hear your DD also gets to do her art outside....what a bonus for her. Enjoy.

Hi LLX04,
For the last 3 years, I've noticed this PSLE trend....MCS's Chinese and Malay is usually slightly below national average when it comes to Quality Passes (A-A*). However, for pass rates in each subject, MCS is usually above the national average, except for Malay MT language.

Yes, MCS is predominately a more English-speaking sch and many gals don't like to converse in MT, including my DDs. With more weightage placed on MT oral component now, that tends to pull the gals's overall MT marks down. So I think it's a good idea to start MT enrichment lessons from young, if your DD doesn't have the a MT speaking environment at home.

My DDs don't go for MT enrichment lessons but I heard a few MCS parents told me Hua Cheng at Thomson Plaza is good. Their teachers are all Chinese natives. All prospective students must sit for a placement test. They also have holiday programmes (no placement tests for these). If you want to try the centre out, maybe can consider their March holiday programme to get a feel of the centre and the curriculum. I've seen Hua Cheng's worksheets for upper pri.....very good idioms and phrases.

Just to share an interesting fact, MCS top Higher Tongue student for P5 last year is a student of Hua Cheng and she was with them since P1. Currently, the P6 are using an oral resource book from the centre. Very good book.

Thks 4d tip!
Will definitely Chk out hua cheng

Hi Tinkerbelle,
thanks for answering to my concerns! you are such a gem!
I will check out Hua Cheng soon!
