Subject: Mind Stretching Events for Feb 2016<ADV>

Dear Parents,

We are now right in the middle of the first semester of the school term. With the common assessments around the corner, it is time to gear up and be ready to tackle them with confidence!

As your most trusted educational partner, we have a selection of upcoming seminars and workshops catered especially for you and your children in February.

For the Upper Primary students, they can sign up for the two different modules of Acing Your Comprehension workshops. The two workshops will touch differently on the effective use of quotations to tackle factual and opinion-based questions, the proper use of vocabulary and ways to tackle inferential questions.

For those who are keen to give your child an early headstart on the Gifted Education Programme, come seize the opportunity to ask our GEP curriculum specialists on what it takes to get into this programme, the concepts and types of questions that are typically tested.

Parents with children embarking on the bilingual road, 学汇乐 by Mind Stretcher, will be holding another Acing your Picture Composition Seminar, back by popular demand!

Not forgetting our secondary school students, we understand that Social Studies could be a daunting subject to manoeuvre. So as a special treat, we are conducting a Social Studies: Skills to Tackle Source-Based Questions seminar, both for parents and students. Clear your doubts and questions with our curriculum experts!

So, hop on down to your nearest Mind Stretcher Centre to register for our workshops and seminars today!
