One more qn: Does TAS cover oral? I know most centres do not but i feel oral is also impt.

No they dont. I dont think they can cover so many things in 2 hours. Perhaps for oral,you can practise with your kid at home or look for a centre tht provides speech and drama?

Thanks wywy2, always good to know another author I can look up. Will note down to hunt in NLB.

Yes, I find children books nicer than adult books. Equally touching and entertaining without the gore or the censored bits. We finished the Groosham Grange books by Anthony Horowitz (2 in the series) last weekend. Very entertaining but a bit macabre. I enjoy reading the same stuff as DS becos we can giggle and gasp over the same things.

I have not heard about the Groosham Grange series, will check it out. Now that the holidays are near, it will be worth it to get more books. Tks for all your recommendations.

Hi hquek,


Tk u for your help, we went to the library and borrowed a Charlie Small book, it is interesting. I like Michael Morpurgo but my kid does not seem to like his books too maybe the era is different.

He is now reading a book by Elizabeth Kay- the divide from TAS. It is another interesting series, maybe your son will like it too.

For the boy with the striped pajamas, there is a show on it, we went to get the dvd since my kid is so interested in knowing more after reading. Good movie also, makes u cry and think. I find myself reading his books now too, I did not know kids books were that interesting.

Hi hquek,


My kid got a book that is v interesting but can’t find more of such books my the author, it is the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne. Any idea which libraries have better selections? I tried AMK and Toa Payoh libraries but no other books by the author.

Thank you! Will let my brother know.

Hi,


Does anyone know which Popular branches carry the TAS creative writing book? My brother has been to the one at Heartland and Hougang Mall but could not find it.

Yes, normally, I would be out of luck by the time I reach Amy Laksa at about 1 plus.

Thanks Jav! That was quick. These 2 classes are for which branch?

Hi,


Anyone knows if they have started classes for K2/P1 (2011) for TAS? Helping a friend to ask.

Do you know who is teaching TAS Nsa classes? I have been wanting to send my child for it as i heard from a friend that it was good but not sure who the teacher is as my friend’s son only attended for a short while then he had CCA during that timeslot. Not sure if the teacher is still the same. Anyone knows who the teacher is and what book they are covering now during Nsa?
