For 2nd round onwards, the teacher did not read aloud anymore.


Both my boy and I lost steam learning the moxie. We did not learn the last sentence of the moxie #2 and he scored 70+. He had not brou back the #3 tingxie/moxie ans sheet but was confident he would get 90+.

For this Fri, he claimed he has learnt 5 tingxie (yet to test him).

Lost steam still get 70+, very good leh. Mine spent the whole of sun afternoon to study for Monday (3rd) tingxie/moxie. Break her own record. She hermited for like 4 hours to practise writing and memorising, then I step in to help her. So tough.

IJJ, very disciplined child you hv. as for mine, if he can sit by himself for an hour, i will be very happy.

Actually, I have no confident that she spent the entire 4 hours learning CL. With her favourite Roald Dahl Treasury on the same table. Hard to stay focus for entire time, I know. Well, just give her benefit of doubt lah. I am prepared to see 70ish or even 60ish marks for this and coming ones.

Still, 4 hours is a long time. I tried to keep weekends free of schoolwork for my dd. Succeeded last year, however, didn't seem to be working this year...I guess I will be expecting more homework in subsequent years....

My dd's Chinese teacher is very strict. She will scrutinise every character and nitpick. Sometimes, I don't even understand what was wrong. For eg.the character 都, she corrected my daughter by emphasing that the 丿(撇) must be longer, stretching above the 土. I was like...huh?! I checked the dictionary and she did her correction in the activity book, by writing the 丿longer by another 3mm. Haha...So when it comes to tingxie and moxie, we are extremely careful when writing each character. Nothing escapes her eagle eyes.

hi

This reminds me of my girl's P1 chinese teacher...also very strict (maybe its the same one). She corrected my girl's writing of her chinese name twice. Me scratched head, compared with dictionary and stuff..in the end asked her to follow the teacher's instruction.

Argh, I pray hard my boy does not get her as a CL teacher.

The CL teacher called this morning to seek my cooperation in ensuring my boy's handwriting improves :?:

Hi Mummies,

I'm having difficulties with the Eng compo. Need to send son for creative writing class. Any recommendations pls ? I'm staying at Toh Yi.
Thanks in advance

Starting from last year, the CL teacher is marking the comprehension in a very strict way...if the points are not written down, that answer will not score full marks. His CL teacher explained that this is the expectation at PSLE and the kids must start to give complete answers from P3.

Not sure whether we are referring to the same person but she is quite good. She expects them to expand the Chinese compo too.

E3,

This teacher you mentioned ? Does she teach lower or upper primary ?
My son’s handwriting is atrocious and if she teaches my son’s class, I would see an improvement in his handwriting. I have been telling him to write neatly and nicely to prevent marks being lost. Teachers are not going to be patient to figure out what he is writing.

My dd is P2. She mentioned this teacher taught P1 and P2 last year. I am not sure whether she had ever taught the upper primary before. Her current FT taking them Eng and Math taught P4 last year. I guess some teachers do move around. Perhaps only the P5 and P6 teachers are more fixed.
