Hello mummies,
Have not been here for awhile. Exams over for most mummies n kiddos. Jiayou for those still taking exams!
Mummies, what do you do with the textbooks and materials that were being used in the school year? Do u just throw them away? No need to keep them, right?
My dd Chinese standard needs improvement. Am still struggling with whether to send her to enrichment class or not. Any mummies with experience/comments on Tien Xia to share? Thanks.

Hi aly_nat
My girl has been attending Tian Hsia since P1. So far so good. I like because:
1. Very structured program following school syllabus closely, normally one chapter ahead of the school.
2. Materials, eg new vocabulary are added on top of the school textbook.
3. Weekly 听写与朗读 from the chapter learned so to enable recognition of words.
4. One compo writing a month
5. 2 to 3 comprehension practise per month
6. Frequent practise on paper 2
7. Oral practise and mock oral test before every SA exam
8. Revision for exam so to prepare for paper 2. I like this in particular because the student will be given the summary of words( 词 ) learned. This is very helpful for quick revision at home
9. One free revision lesson before SA2.
10. Teacher will give progress report every term.
Having said all the good points, I also would like to state that the weekly ting xie could be quite pressurized because your kid will have to prepare 2 ting xie, one for school and one for Tian Hsia.
The above are just my personal view for your reference....

Hi baby99lon,
My DS from Keming Primary school.
Finally, can have a good night sleep.

Horse,
Thank you so much. I enquired at Tien Xia today, and find their fees a lot more affordable than a couple of others. Your views are valuable to me. Now I've a better understanding of their course structure. I'm half hearted about sending my dd as I'm hoping that she will continue to manage her studies without external coaching. But if the need arise, I think I'll send her to Tien Xia. We don't speak mandarin at home, so her exposure to the language is limited.
Any mummies have negative experience with Tien Xia? If not convenient, can pm me.

Hi mummies
My P2 gal got back her papers yesterday..nope..she did not get band1 for all subjects (only Chinese). But I am still proud of her..She has shown improvement for all subjects esp English from 58 (SA1) to 69 (SA2). She puts in a lot of hardwork and her efforts finally pay off. I have to admit shamelessly that I did not manage to supervise her as much as I used to in the past. This year, I was drained out by my pregnancy and handling the new baby and shifting the house. I only nag and nag (scold and scold) her to do her weekly assessment revision.
Chinese
I have confidence that my P2 gal will be shortlisted to do higher chinese in P3. Of all subjects, we do the minimal for Chinese and we hardly speak Chinese at home. I only send them to Speech and Drama classes held in their School. Now I am thinking if I shd start preparing her for advance Chinese. Her weakness is sentence structure and I can see how this will affect her Compo in P3. I am also worried abt my P1 gal Chinese..she can hardly express herself properly in Chinese!
Is Tien Xia stressful? Our way of learning Chinese in the past was basically through memorising and I think that will kill the interests. But I do not want classes that only teach thru play..just like the S&D and HYPY classes that they used to attend. They expose them to the Language but did not help them to tackle exam questions.
I am so glad and grateful that mummies are sharing their views on Chinese enrichment classes here..thanks so much.

Yes I heard it is academic driven and it works well for some kids.
My girl came home feeling disappointed about her maths paper. I was prepared she will not get above 90 since she told me half easy half difficult vs very easy during test. She got a 86/100. I also not going to comment as I have not seen the paper. I just ask her to reflect, if she feels she has given it the fullest then ok.
For Chinese , dunno why she also not happy, 92/100. I already can forsee the marks were taken away from the comprehension part.
English being the first paper, dunno why till now still dunno the overall score yet.

mummytiffany,
I am expecting better result than this coz he had not add up his paper 1 yet.
dont think he is able to get band 1. Hopefully he can get band 1 for math and Chinese coz he told me that both papers were easy.
His is getting English paper 1 result today. Just prayed hard for him.
Btw, your ds is in which class. My dd is in 2AM.
His just attended those neighborhood tuition class.

My son told me he got his Chinese results today. 65/70. He said that he missed getting full marks for comprehension. He forgot to write one word - de in his answer. Have yet to receive his results for English and Maths.
Baby99lon, is the English enrichment effective? Mine has been attending Mind Stretcher English lessons since Primary 1. His vocabulary has expanded as the children are made to learn new phrases every week. They are also provided with Little Red Dot for reading on a weekly basis.
Will you be attending the PTM on 16 Nov?

Mummytiffany,
How do you find Mindstretcher? Considering this for my kids too. Their English results has deterioriated slightly this exam so thinking how to beef them up.

Bebe,
You've got pm.
Jolene,
Do u live in punggol/sk area? Just education in SKCC seems quite good. My friends placed their kids there. All happy with the school.
Yawn yawn,
dd1 started using Oral B kid's toothpaste (contain floride) from 3 to about 7. Now that she is older, she confessed that she used to eat the Oral B toothpaste cos it taste good! And I always thought she did spit out the paste. Faint!
I hv signed up dd for a 5 week enrichment class with Tien Xia. Test market, and also to see if dd will resist going for Chinese enrichment class. Even for this, I gotta cajole her into going.
Hv also signed her up for a one week church camp - Chinese ministry!!

Mummies,
My son's scores are within band 1. He was disappointed with his Maths cos he has made several careless mistakes. He was expecting to get 90+ cos he said the paper was easy. But he only scored 88.
I told him the easier the paper is, the more careless mistakes u will make. Told him to learn from this lesson.
Hi Yawn Yawn,
I am signing my son up for Lorna Whinston's The World of Roald Dahl 1 week class since he has most of his collection.The afternoon class has yet to be confirmed.

chicken little,
I was told by a few people that European brands may not last in Asia's weather. Heard that the piano will crack after a few years, not sure if it's true so we decided to stick to the usual Japanese brands. Maybe with exception of Steinway since it's so expensive!
Yawn yawn,
Maybe you want to try mouth wash on top of the usual brushing? Where are her decays? If it's in between the teeth, then flossing would be advised. The dentist said that some people are prone to tooth decay due to acidity in the saliva.

My DS just got his math results..44/50. I was rather disappointed..coz I was expecting at least 90%. He only told me those who failed math, scored less than him but did not tell me who had done better than him.
I also received partial of his paper 1 results (listening + spelling) for English..add up with paper 2 only 59.5 /70. I am not sure if he can make it to band 1..unlikely he can scored 25.5 for his oral and composition..at long as he got over 80 for English, i am happy already.

Congrats to mummies whoes kids does well in exam.
Mine got back his written paper, on the lower 90.
He still tell me about 90 what, so he is very happy already. 6 marks on maths due to careless in calculation, doing addition and subtraction. sigh..English is due to spelling of the word because... that alone cost his 1.5 marks in the comprehension *faint*. Others still unknown to me as he is not willing to share ..so will see it myself when he gets back his paper.
BP same lar, my son also like that only tell me how many failed for the various paper. But not those that did better than him.
I am also clueless what activities to plan for my son. He is currently going over to my parent's place during the sch holiday. How to prevent him from watching TV show on SCV whole day?!?

ya, same here. My dd always tell me so and so scored less than her. I told her must compare with the better ones and learn from their strengths. Maybe she is self-consoling.
Yesterday, I was with my gal friends. They said that nowadays the kids lack of resiliance. Mostly they were from broken families. There were cases of children committing suicides. Quite scary.
