Thank you Love Clouds. I heard so much about adaptation and this makes me worried. My DD is hardworking and have done well in Primary School (hopefully for PSLE too) but she’s not independent. I guess this is part of learning and growing up and I hope she will get through her 6 years successfully.

Hi everyone. It's me again :). I bought assessment books for my DD as a form of revision in Primary school. Is this necessary when she goes to Sec school ? I remember I used to do a lot of 10 years series and I must say they helped. If there is a need to get, what assessment books are suitable for IP ?


Thanks In advance for sharing

No need for assessment books lah....may not be appropriate either....
Esp for subj like Maths....they have their own DHP Maths workbks...
There are more than enuff practices given to the pupils....
Moreover, u wont have time to do additional assessment bks...

Hello! I'm a Y3 student in Dunman High and I happened to come across this page.

there actually isn't any sort of official ranking in the Y3 classes but general rule of thumb is that upper level classes= better, although there are exceptions.

However, there is subject enrichment in Y3 and the syllabus is only very slightly different and is not tested in EOY, more for general knowledge, and sometimes the teachers would 'sneak in' some of enrich syllabus for the non-enrich classes. (I'm a triple science+ geog student with no enrich).

I have also seen some discussion as to how students are selected for the various subject enrichment. There are a few methods from the school that are circulating but the most popular method is that it is based on what subject enrich the SBGE people in Y2 choose, and they will try to allocate according to what the SBGE people opt for, and then sort in the non-SBGE students. So for eg for my year there was no demand for science+hist enrich so there was no class at all for sci+history enrich.

Hope this clarifies!
