Nope, no break fr classes for marking. In fact, I thought the morning traffic was more horrendous bec it rained.
The girls are getting their papers returned to them. The results are quite normal. 90% of the students fr the top class are still getting As. -
No marking days for my ds school. Only PTM which is a day before vesak day.
The first class didn’t seem to do well. Teacher doesn’t want to share the % info. May be will pose the question during PTM. -
Guys, my gal seems to have great difficulty in English and HMT compre. Any suggestion on how to improve ? For English, though she gets the points correct, the entire question is given zero marks cos of the way she answer. Anyone with such experience ? E.g. What caused him to fall ? Teacher expects the answer to be, the tripping over the stone caused him to fall. Child answer - He tripped over a stone and fell. The question is totally marked wrong.. :slapshead:

Hi,
Your DS in Sec Sch? You mean sec schs still have 44 per class, so big??lurline:
Hi Lego,
I was wondering abt the class size of independent schools. It's always good in smaller class. ds class has 44 students and only 16 girls in the whole class. The boys make so much noise that the teacher cannot teach!
Sorry for the late reply!
was referring to his p5 class size.
Thks! -

OMG! Both answers sound the same to me, just different grammatically. Did you ask the teacher why it is marked wrong? -
Yes. In P5, be it English or Chinese, they expect you to structure your answer to the way the questions want..
Like that seems that June Holidays is burnt.. Got to start reading all her work again. Goodness sake.. -
Whoopee! Exams over! Spent the weekend feeling relaxed & just bumming around, eating nice meals & basically letting the brain rot (though I should have made ds2 do his work, which I had neglected during SA1 period).
Anyway, no marking day for dd's school. They started receiving their papers after the last main paper. So far, some good, some disappointing. Gotta see her papers to see what went wrong with the unsatisfying results & work on it. :roll:
We didn't go to MGS open house on Sat as initially planned cos she only wanted to play Wii with ds2 then :razz:
Then yesterday, she told me she has 1 last exam - SS!
And just now, she texted me to tell me that she's organising a playdate this Fri! :imanangel: :skeptical:
Wow! She's really keeping herself very busy (there's still HCL supp class after school today...) -

Hi, I think this is a common problem with the languages nowadays. My dd also told me she failed her compre OE & she didn't understand the HCL compre as she was completely lost with the words just swimming in front of her eyes (dunno the marks yet).
We need to do the papers analysis when she brings them back after the teachers go through them. I suspect she made the same type of mistake as your dd, not answering to the point. I think English is not so straight forward anymore. They probably want you to show that you understand the nuances of the questions & marking is very strict. For CL, the kids need to 多听 多读 多写，which my dd has never felt inclined to do so... hope this is a wake-up call to her...
Good luck! -
dd ranks the level of difficulty for this SA as follows:
EL - most difficult
Maths
CL
Sci
HCL
i found it a bit strange as dd finds HCL not as difficult as CL..... :? -
ds tells me the same thing after every exams. He always find Chinese very difficult, the rest easy.
He does fairly well for eng, Maths & science but just pass in Chinese. This is the main reason why I am planning to ask him to try for DSA. His T-score will be greatly affected by Chinese
