Raffles Girls' Primary

[phtthp]

some 2015 P1s are interested to join Band Cca, asking :-

whether any pre-requisite required ?

Reply :
No pre-requisite needed.
you are most welcome to join the Band family.

There will be a band instructor, to teach girls start from scratch how to read basic musical notes, first.

With regards as to select which instrument to play :
band instructor will introduce the families of each instrument to the girls, first.
Or pupil may highlight to band instructor or to Tr in charge, which instrument they prefer to play.

However after a few sessions playing, if instructor feel that the child is more suitable to play another instrument, instructor will encourage the pupil to change to another instrument, then monitor progress from there.

Some pupils :
their interest is more inclined towards Music, instead of Sports.
So they join Band.

Band Cca : 3 hours practice (9 am to 12 noon)


P1 may ask : what interests them the most ?
Is it singing or dance or music or Sports or Art drawing ?

Hi mummies and daddies, during silent reading, if a girl doesn’t know the word, especially Chinese, can she ask the teachers in charge? Asking this as I have always encourage my girl to ask when she doesn’t know. Many thanks.

during silent reading inside Assembly school hall (12.30 pm to 1 pm) -
your daughter can use pencil to underline or use a highlighter, to highlight those words she doesn't know how to read, first

during Chinese lessons :
after pupils have completed daily school work, if there is time, she may approach her Chinese Tr, how to read those words.

Is it common for parents to switch cca p1 and p2 ?

Yes, some pupils changed Cca.

for certain Sports Cca -
some pupils in P1 Recreational team feel that the coach tend to focus more, pay more attention to school team.
So, some changed to another Cca, when come P2.

Then, there are also another group of pupils that drop Cca, when come P2.
Not change Cca, but drop Cca.

P1 is honeymoon year.
so parents do not mind let their daughter try out one Cca, in P1 initially.
After trying out for one year, at end of Term 4, some pupils' results not good, need to improve in certain subject.
Parents affected feel that perhaps their child ought to spend more time focus on weak subject.
Cca is hectic, so pupils may drop Cca.
They're not inclined to continue with Cca, come P2.

They'll come back in P4 for Cca :
since P4 Cca is compulsory.

many thanks for your reply.

you're welcome, sparkie

In fact, you're training your daughter early from P1, towards independent self-directive, self-motivated learning style. Good !

means whenever she come across any new English or Chinese vocabulary, not sure or don't know how to read, pronounce or don't understand its meaning : she able to collate all the unsure words together, at one shot clarify with her Tr on a daily basis, it is a very good Training ground : train her to be an independent learner, from P1. Clarify her doubts with Tr on the very same day that she come across new vocab.

Self-directed learning, independent learning goes a long way, ESP. If next time, she intend to study IP (integrated program) in Secondary school instead of O level, where there is little hand-holding from subject Tr.
if one unsure of certain concepts taught during lessons, take own initiative, to clarify doubts with subject Tr.
IP program tend to have more projects (individual + group) and Performance Tasks.

For IP -
Students need to be independent, to search for information on their own. Teaching method is like university style, where they train students to be confident, articulate in presenting their findings, stand in front of their classmates and Tr, make presentation in small groups. And be prepared to be challenged by pupils from other groups, who may not agree to your views presented. Be open to other students' view points. Then you have to learn to speak up. Is good to Learn from other pupils' views, because sometimes they think from another, different angle, which we had not thought of, consider before.

O level -
more structured, more hand-holding from Tr.

Students who gone through the IP path, are usually more confident in high level thought process thinking, and in speech, compared to O level pupils.
