Hi funkymonkey,
Wat's LSM? DD nv mention there's LSM b4 leh. R we suppose to go for any briefing?

Hi ladies,
LSM is actually learning support for Math.
LSP is for English. We went for the briefing yesterday.Only gals who are weak will be identified and encouraged to attend them. our LSM will be during curriculum time,the gals will go to another classroom max 8 gals and will have more manipulatives and hands on approach to maths. My gal dyslexic mah so this will be soooooo much better for her and MS Sng said that the gals enjoy her math clas better as there are more \"games\" and it so fun yet beneficial for the gals.
No news of MT teacher yet,but we dun mind.....
Thanks for the moral support everyone :love: :love:

I see. How abt MT? Is it oso called LSP, like Eng? How did u noe abt DD being selected for LSM? Did they issue a letter to inform parents? Wen will we noe if DD has been selected for MT LSP prog?[/quote]Hi can'tbearit,
I approached Ms Sung about LSP the first day of school (talk about KS!!!)
She told me usually term 2 after formative asessments but i told her about my gal. I received the letter for LSM the week before CNY celebrations and there were less than 8 parents for briefing.
As for LSP(Eng) ad MT remedial no mention about them so far....we'll probably be informed if the teacher feels we really need help i guess..i'll let u know if we get any more summons :lol:

Haha....!!! Yes, still worried abt DD's MT. We are trying to create the environment for her but it seems a bit tough. All my cousins' & frenz' kids speak eng as well. She finds it so hard to ans us in Mandarin, sometimes she juz freeze and kept quiet. Sigh.


Both DH & I R working hard to brush up her MT at hm. Hopefully she can't speak the language well, at least she's able to recognise most of the chinese characters well. Hee....

Hi cantbearit2,
I understand your concerns. My DDs also very pro-English. I would say they hardly converse in Mandarin. Probably only in MT class..haha. DD2 also keeps quiet when spoken to in Mandarin. Aiyoo, think she doesn't know enough vocab to answer. We tried to converse to her in Mandarin and she asked us why are we speaking Chinese to her :x .

Hi worriedparent74


My DD told me today that this week's 听写 has been postponed to next week cos of CNY.

Hi Tinkerbelle

Thanks for the update
If my DD has not updated me wrongly, the teacher just 'cancelled' the tingxie and did not mention when is the next session so she is asking if she has to get prepared everyday till she is being tested??!! I also dont know how to answer her but tell her just be prepared for it

Hi, I too am gaining lots of info. about MCS from this thread! Thanks ladies! Keep up the good work! Hoping to register my second daughter for P1 new year! At the moment living in Ang Mo Kio. Looks like have to try for 2C. No affliation of any sort. Any chance of getting in?

Hi Gin,

:welcome: :welcome: :welcome:

Generally, based on past history of the last five years, if you are trying for Phase 2C, you stand a good chance of getting in. :lol:

However, should you decide to only try in Phase 2C (supp), you will need to ballot with other parents who have failed at the ballot boxes at St. Nic and CHIJ (Toa Payoh). Chances of getting in becomes slim.
Good luck.

Hi all,

Just want to share my happiness!!!
My gal did well for her spelling!
First one she got 8/10 and the 2nd and 3rd spelling she scored 10/10!!!
I'm really so happy for her coz she worked super hard...after the first spelling she practised till she had blisters on her thumb :!: :!:
i told her to stop but she said she maybe can get 9/10..
i told her if she can get 5/10 i'll be super happy coz i know she tries VERY hard...
No reversed letters at all! Amazing!!!
We never had spelling when we were in kindergarten......and her ex school mates got words like \"cow\" and \"moo\"!!!!
I'm going to e-mail her therapists next!!!!SOOOOO HAPPY
