marmum,


hope this is not too late… Below is roughly what the experiment is done…

The kids were divided into groups, each group tied a string with one end to the window bar, the other end held by one kid. Then the balloon was blown and attached to the string. Then, the balloon was let go and it travelled along the string while the air was let go. Then they see which group’s balloon is the fastest or farthest. Not sure if it is exactly what is done in your kid’s class… agar agar one …

Dear Minty2000, Thanks for the info. Sorry, what window bar is it about? My kid told me that they have to paste a tape of the surface of the balloon and one side of the string to it, put the ballon through. Is it correct? Oh, so its to see whose balloon travels fastest and farer unlike what my child told me which one burst first? Am really puzzled by it as if the air is let out, how could the ballon burst??? Really wonder if my child is concentrating in class. sigh… At least now I get a clearer picture.

Marmum, actually the string was tied to the window latch (i type window bar). Then the other end was held by one kid. They use drinking straw to go through the string, then use sticky tape to tape to the surface of the balloon. Then when the air is let go, the balloon will move with the straw along the string… The balloon burst is because they ‘over blown’ it, teacher will replace if burst. Then see which group’s balloon travels the farthest…

Hi popoink


My gal will be going to PC next year too! Hope to know more of parents whose child is going to PC next year.

From what I understand, higher Chinese is compulsory for P1-P4 children. They can choose to opt out for higher Chinese when they are P5.

Welcome!!!

Any parent support group memeber here? I understand from my child that some parent’s help out during class outings or activities and also on special days like Racial Harmony Day. Any idea if this is part of Parent Support Group or is it some kind of support group for individual classes? How do we get involved on an ad-hoc basic as am a FTWM but would like to get involved in my child’s school activites.

Yes, maltbibi is right... P1-P4 all higher Chinese, P5 can choose to
opt out... Actually there's not much diff between
Chinese n higher Chinese for lower primary I think. The textbooks r more or less the same...

What's your concern?
