Hi 2818,


Yesterday my DS came back saying that chinese teacher told them that they would be given a few poems to choose 1 to prepare for the oral. Did yours mention about this?

Also, I just realised that there is a term 1 individual progress card in DS's bag. The teacher signed and dated it on 12 Mar. Not sure if it was given out before the 1 week school holiday

Hi lostbunny.


the progress card is back this week, my child had C's throughout, just wonder is this a norm?

as to the poem, no mentioned at all. Do they have to memorise them?

thanks

Is the poem for the story-telling or rather lang du instead of oral?

Hi chasingjelly,


I’m not sure. My DS said it was for oral. But then again, he rather bo chap one. Everytime I ask him something, he will say "don’t know".

Hi netserver,
Mine also mostly Cs. But I think this is ok as C refers to satisfactory. My DH says P1 only, no need to expect too much.

I think it depends on trs also. Some trs maybe more generous in grading? Just a guess. I am surprised that my dd was graded C for 'enjoys singing'. :lol:

MMM,


Thank you. I have taken your advice and gotten some oral books from Popular Bookshop.

Can you share with me more about ‘project voice’ in the progress card? My son is a bit weak on this area only.

2818,


Does your ds speak softly? My understanding for ‘able to project voice’ is that the child is able to speak clearly during class time.

Please share how you prepare P1s for SA? What form does the SA take and what consequences if they don’t do so well?

FYI. My kids are currently attending Mdm Koh’s Chinese S&D class at Fu Lu Shou. The school distributed the brochure when my kids were in P1 and P2.


I know Mdm Koh currently conducts S&D lessons for P2 and P3 in the school but it’s for selected students only. She used to be ex-MBS CL teacher and is retired. She came highly recommended by my girl’s CL teacher when I asked for recommendation on how to improve her CL.

The aim for sending them to such a course is to improve their chinese oral skills which as they go up the level actually carries the same marks as composition.

Her classes are on sunday and for P1-P2, it is at 9.15 - 10.30. I am not sure if she is accepting new students since the current class size is around 8. My son told me that there are P1 MBS student in his class too.

For P1 SA, I think the major event is the CL streaming?
