Hi, my family plans to go Korea in Nov. Can anyone advise if it is easy to travel in Seoul as we r thinking to do F&E instead of package tour? We would love to have some sightseeing plus fun activities ie. LotteWorld for my kids. TIA

Hi i3mum


May i ask which online website in US you purchased the leotards please? I tried to online order from GK but they decline to send to singapore due to some distribution rights.. thanks

One thing about ordering online is the risk of the leotards not able to fit the child. My girls made their leotards at Sonata in Orchard Plaza. The shop also sells ready made leotards

has stnic sec COP went up compared to last time?

247 is for outsiders.

hi sachiko


do u mean whether the Group 1, 2, 3 and the level mean have any meaning or purpose?

I think grouping gives us an idea where our girls stand in each subject. As for level mean, it is an indication of avg mark. So we can roughly see whether our girls r above or below avg.

i heard 2nd class is 3grace, 3rd class is 3charity


the next round of streaming is it at the end of p3 or p4 exam?
based purely on that year's work or past years?

According to sch, streaming will be at end of P4. It's based on P4 final result.

what abt ranking for girls who went to top 3 classes in p3? any idea wats the cut-off point for the overall percentage to qualify?

The sch will not disclose ranking for the top 3 classes too. Based on parents' speculation, it seems the cut off point for 1st class is ABOUT 93% & above, 2nd class 90% & above, 3rd class 87% & above. This is not the exact cut off point but a rough gauge. Next year's 1st class is P3 Purity

For the girls who received the 'Good Academic Award', is there anyway to find out the specific ranking of the child within the level?


I think the class form teacher will know the ranking of the girls in her class, but not sure if the level ranking is made available to the form teacher.

Pls advise.

Class teacher will not disclose level ranking. However those gilrs who recieved \"best academic\" award are already within the top 10% of the level cohort. i.e. 1st to 21st/24th position in the whole level.

1. A box contained some blue pens and red pens in the ratio of 11:3. After 28 blue pens were removed from the box and 7 red pens were added in the box, the ratio of the number of blue pens to the number of red pens in the box was 7:4. How many pens were there in the box at first?

This 4-mark question was from http://www.orlesson.org/orp/09Ma/2009-Math-SA2-Nanyang.pdf set on 29 Oct 2009.

Hi Faun,


Thank you, I can find out more about the Sonata Rainbow Dancewear shop.

I have heard of the Bishan Sports hall gymnastics lesson too. But heard that the classes are only available for weekday, no weekend classes, which I can't send my kids for the lesson.
