Raffles Girls' Primary

[blurblock]

Just joined KSP and wanna introduce myself to the networking group. My daughter is in RGPS P3. Is it true that there is no streaming into P3 this yr? a few months b4 school closed, I remembered a circular mentioned they will be streamed according to multi-talents (depends on what subj they are stronger), later, Tr said they are put randomly into a class. The question is, if it is random, why bother to split the students into diff classes, must as well promote the whole class into P3 together? anyone could enlighten me?

My girl is totally enjoying school. So far have not seen any spelling list. She is in 1G. She says that her form teacher Miss Eng is both her English and Chinese teacher. Not sure if that is true. And said that they had math lessons yesterday. Asked her what they did. She said teacher only went through numbers 1-10 with them. DS heard that and went like huh, you in P1 or N1?

Ok take back the no spelling list thing. DD just came back with her spelling list for English.


The teacher attached a timetable in her handbook. And just as I suspected, Miss Eng is her chinese teacher only not for both English and chinese.

Just to confirm, they do not have any English Textbook right?

Dear all,


Wishing to seek your advice on CCA.

Anyone of you with girls participating in CCA during P1 and P2 ?

If any of your girls have joined swimming as a CCA, pls kindly share your experience, e.g. venue, is it conducted by an external trainer, the quality etc.

Since I have converted to part time working arrangement starting this year, thought of signing up my P1 girl for at least 1 CCA, 1st shortlist will be swimming, choir or dance.

Thank you

Funz, is this Ms Eng L N? If so, she's good! Fueled the love for Chinese in my gals' class last year - 98% of them taking HCL this year.

Ming, which one is your girl interested in?

Mine took ballet for the first two terms then we dropped coz she had too much ballet commitment due to her ballet exam and performances, plus she complained that it was too basic.

Cultural dance, I hear is good too. But you may want to check out her interest first - they tend to stick better to a CCA if they are motivated that way. HTH.

My girl joined the choir as CCA in P1 last year and she loved it. They performed during the P1 orientation in Nov last year... Would be continuing in P2 this year

Oh btw my daughter is selected to be a stage leader this year and she is kind of both excited yet scared of it lol... She is stage-shy yet she cant help telling all her uncles and aunties about it hee...


And yeah there was a spelling list given out on 1st day already, but mine is P2 this year...

And her P1 buddy is bigger sized than her, just as I expected
