donkey:

just wonder... i got feedback from my relative that the same question was tested on two kids in P6 . One from Pr school in woodlands , the other from PH. The question is: when two objects with the different mass fall from the the same height, which one will land first. The correct ans came from the Pr school in Woodlands. PH kid commented that teacher never teach.
So after hearing about the Science subjects issue in this forum, is it true that the Science teachers in PH are not so good as compare to other school? no offence here. Just want to get more information and opinion...cheers..

This question is a very common question. If the child is already in P6, he should have already been exposed to this type of questions (not necessary the same question) over his years of learning science. A science teacher cannot teach EVERY question. Science, itself is very wide, but the focus on application of concepts is the key. Teachers should teach the right concepts and expose them to process-skill questions that require them to apply those concepts. I think we shouldn't judge the teachers in this case unless we know about the P6 child's science standard. He can only say 'that teacher never teach' if the concepts of the topic was never covered before.

Can anyone help me with these questions?

We intend to buy an apartment within 1km to Pei Hwa in order to get a place for our boy. Don’t know how high is the chance for 1 km residents in PeiHwa.
Do all the students have to be or will mostly likely be converted to christian after joining the school? We are non-christians.

Hi Donkey


this P6 CA1 Science Paper also has a question that has mistake, so everyone awarded 2 marks. wonder what HOD Science and teachers are doing!!Did they checked the paper carefully? guess not, if not there wont be any mistake.

Can you be more specific on what kind of mistakes? My dd's Math paper was cosmetic error (number option printed wrongly), cost her 2 marks. :stupid: If the errors for science paper is contentwise, then I seriously doubt the ability of the science vetters. Either they (or he) are (is) not familiar with the syllabus and what needed to be taught in each level (in the case of Jennifer's son, P3), or they (he) is incompetent.

Change in PSLE format? Higher Chinese used to have 填写汉字 or is it removed? This section is still included in the P2 paper. The last question asking for personal opinion was tested. It was rather straightforward, that's y my dd thought it wasn't tested. Haha.

E3,

My son used to score in 填写汉字 but that section has been replaced by hanyu pinyin…and that is is weak point. In the recent CA1 paper, there were 2 questions tested on hanyu pinyin but those characters were not from 识写字.

Hi Janet


For CL, the first 2 questions will be on HYPY. Using the words are from the textbook. I dont check whether it is 识写字 or 识认字 cos if it is 识认字, usually it is found in the passage and the child has to learn how to read.

Hi E3

Not to sure about HCL cos my DS not taking.Sorry cant help much.

Taking back the CA1 papers seem not the same for the P6 cohort as some classes did not get back the papers for checking on the 8th March itself.
