BlurBee, the teacher’s note was dated 28/1 and it’s from her chinese teacher; not sure if every class has different ways of testing the show and tell. dd is in P1/6. the note also stated min 5 sentences.


need to coach my dd to memorise the first topic; she’s a bit lazy and grumbled that her brain is going to "explode" ! still have to "force" her to memorise another topic during cny so that she can deliver her 2nd show + tell after cny. dunno if they are just practices or actual marks are awarded ??? hopefully she can remember her "speech" in front of the class; stress…

talked to a few of her classmates; some seemed quite smart and dd said their worksheets always got full marks; wow ! guess some kindergartens taught a lot of things and they’re well prepared. dd also complained that her artwork (done by herself) got B- and her friend’s artwork got A+ although he admited to the teacher that his mum helped him.

OK, OK. Thanks, ningy.

Need to go search all the little notes. :roll:

remembered reading from the note (listing the events for the year) given out in the 1st week that markes are calculated only from Term 3 onwards. my friend who is a teacher told me that it is moe rule that marks cld only be cal from term 3, and tests for the 1st 2 terms are for practice…

Received a few notes yesterday.

1) Show & tell session: need to talk all 3 topics, 1 topic per week.
2) 17 Feb will be CNY celebration. School starts from 10am-12noon. School will resume on 18 Feb.

1 qn on CNY celebrate: any more school after 12noon? :?

Blur bee, wow ur child’s teacher is even more shiong. as of today, my dd only need to do 2 topics. if it is just practice, i think there’s no need to stretch the child so much, imagine mermorising 3 topics (may be abt 10 sentences each) and during the cny period !! how to enjoy ?

To me, I think this is a good practise for her to build up her confident to speak in front of 30 peoples.

She only needs to talk abt 5 sentences per topic and my DH had already trained her to talk during the last 2 days.

I’m a parent, answer above from the teacher.


1/4 needs to do 2 topics for Show and Tell. They had the first on Monday. My dd ssaid one girl cried, and many didnt prepare. She did hers alright, not sure how many sentences she used, but we didnt let her memorise anything. Just let her do her own way, with a few practices at home. The second one will be in March.
Come on, don’t stress the poor kids, it’s only P1.
