Hi Rains, Thanks for replying. Why aren't you keen? Centre problem or not necessary for your child?

Hi mummies, As our dragon babies move on to P2 next year, do you have any recommendation on English Creative Writing course (other than Lorna Whiston)? Thanks.

Hi Twinkle, May I request for you to forward me a copy too? Thanks. My email [email protected]

Hi, Anyone tried or heard of Nafa Arts? Any commend? Thanks.

Hi Jess, Same here, my boy doesn't have exam too. I have not let him tried other schools' past year papers but got him to do the SA questions in assessment books. He complaint about revising and doing assessment books. Does your son do these willingly? My son needs me to nag him to do...

Hi Jess, Wen & Dorothy, So all three of you send your children to Berries. I've heard a lot of good comments abt the centre too. May I know what do they cover for P1? Hanyu pinying, character recognition, zao ju, zuo wen, comprehension? How long have your children been with them? Since...

I think different parents have different worries. Rains' concern about her girl liking arts too much. Whereas for me, my son doesn't seem to have special passion on anything. We let him learn piano and he is doing very well, ask him to play golf and he does it well too. Academic aspects also not...

Hi rains, sorry to hear that but I can understand how you feel and what you are going thru'. Frankly, I screamed at my children too when I got so stressed up and they got on my nerves! I know that it is bad but sometimes we just can't help it as we have our own emotions too. I regret my own...

Do your kids' schools give out any recommended reading lists for Chinese? My boy's sch had a book fair last week but I didn't buy anything from it cos' I don't quite find those books suitable and interesting. What they have for P1 & P2 are something like 'bao bao cheng zhang gu shi', 'you er shi...

Hi mummies, I think kids at this age are still quite forgetful. It is very normal that they will copy instructions wrongly or incompletely. We just have to give them some time to learn and meanwhile try to make smart guesses of what they are trying to copy.

Hi Jess, Rimilyn & hippo2002 May I know where do your children learn swimming and gymnastic? Intend to start my boy 7 and girl 3 on swimming lesson but no idea where to enrol, any good recommendation? My girl is very agile and active, my hubby thinks she is suitable for gymnastic, any...

Hi Jess, my son also complains that he has no time to play... some of my friends told me boys tend to be more careless and playful at this age...hopefully lor. BTW, you r a SAHM with 2 kids right? Me too, with a younger girl of 3 now in N1. What abt you? I find it not an easy job to...

My boy has english and chinese spelling on Wed & Thur. So far he has got full marks for all. Had his Maths common test 2 weeks ago (the Sch will give surprise common tests without informing before hand, he won't have exam in Jun, only in Dec). He scored 18 over 20, 2 careless mistakes...

Thanks ladies for all the valuable advice on assessments. My son also doesn't take veggies at all. He will pick out even tiny bits. I'm someone who cannot going without veggies and have demonstrated and explained to him but to no avail. Somemore worst when once when I reprimanded him, he...

Hi mummies, nice to share our joy and anxieties here. My son had his first spelling last Thur and will be having his 'ting xie' tmr. He is doing fine in school and enjoys PE lessons and recess time. However, just scolded him tonight for being careless in his work like forgetting to write the...
