How old is your ds? If he is 5 this year, may still have time to write in to request to be parent volunteer (PV) but no harm checking with school. If he is 4 this year, you can write in after June. There will be a selection process. Being PV, you can register your ds at phase 2B. For my dd's year, phase 2B applicants residing within 2 km need not ballot, all were accepted. However, it still depends on the no. of applicants for phase 2B for your ds's year.
[quote]I am living within 2km to the school.[/quote]Within 1 km, chances are higher without having to volunteer. Within 1-2km, may need to volunteer. Still, it depends on the applicants for your ds's year.
[quote]Oso to check do P1 & P2 students in Pei Hwa got any test or exam??[/quote]P1 - Mid-year Exam in May (SA1) and Final-year Exam in Nov (SA2)
P2 - CA1 in March, Mid-Year Exam in May (SA1) and Final-year Exam in Nov (SA2)
[quote]Is any of ur child from Pei Hwa feels Stress??[/quote]It depends on individual child's ability to cope. In PHPPS, they will be banded at the end of P1 according to their results to a new P2 class.

E3,

I didn't know DEAR week is so interesting.

GyGy,
It's good exposure for your son to do past year exam papers from other schools...this will help him get some idea what exam is, and know different exam formats. For Chinese, you can select 2-3 schools using Higher Chinese.

I am sure your girl will love it next year, if they still continue with this programme. I guess most of the kids dressed-up will be the girls cos it's their day to be princesses or fairies. :lol:

This week's DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) week. Today must be exciting for some P1s and P2s as they get to dress up in book character costumes. My dd went as Snow White last year. This year, I felt she's a little \"old\" for such thing but still she was just as excited. She said this would only be fun for the lower primary, you don't expect the P sixes to dress up, right? :roll:


This year, she is a \"Cinderella-who-didn't-lose-her-glass-slippers-but-forgot-to-bring-her-purse\". After all the hooha, she left home without $$ for recess. :roll: What a price to pay for being fanciful.

Sounds so fun, too bad mine missed both P1&2 DEAR week.

Can I check how many of you/your child(ren) follow closely to the suggested list of story books (according to their respective level) to read? My child told me one of her classmates has a GE scored of 7.8 for her Star reading test. Amazing.

She didn't follow. Too much hassle, I felt. I let her read the books that we'll both enjoy. She reads a variety of genres though. Her favourite is novels. I bought many recommended books during my NIE days and she'll devour them. I read all her books to screen thru content and also to discuss the interesting parts with her, mainly to cue on her understanding. My dd's class highest is a boy who scored 8.2.

Impressive!! Ch2, right?

Mine also read a variety, but the list certainly stirs her interest in reading the entire Chronicles of Narnia besides the 2 parts that were made into Movies. [/b]

Did your dd's teacher attach a list for her? My dd's teacher did not. Her P1 teacher did that last year and I noticed some of the books were the common titles that are either award-winning or classics books. Chronicles of Narnia is a very interesting book (The compiled version). Your girl might enjoy The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall and What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge. My dd's personal favourite.

Just checked with my dd. That boy scored 8.5, not 8.2.

Yes, her FT attached a list for P3&4. Perhaps the list your dd rec last year was for P1&2, that could be the reason she did not get it again this year. Thanks for your recommendations, we will check these titles up. I have no idea what's the highest score in her class/cohort, but her best friend's score of 7.8 already impressed me.
