Boys being boys.... I wonder if he forgot to tell me earlier.

We are just done.... so many words to remember (close to 100). Some quite difficult.

Thinking of asking my fil to revise with him tomorrow morning those that he is still unsure.

haa...u still have time to count the number of words ...anyway for my dd class, the chinese teacher makes them clip the schedule list on the first page of their chinese text book...so maybe u can check whether your son got clip it there or not.. :lol: ...it also shows the next hcl test date.

i am really curious what's the expected standard of pri 1 at MBS...When i look at the pri 1 assessment books sold at popular bookstore, i was SHOCKED :!: :!: There's close passage, comprehension, composition (??) ...i remember during my era only start doing all these in ard Pri 3??? i am really panicky now....

It seems a norm for most primary schools. Think MBS will be even more stressful, at least this is what I feel when my child was offered a vacancy there. Anyway, I did not take it up for personal reason but where she is now, I am no better. Sigh.. pity for most parents now, having to juggle between work and work ( school work, i mean)

I have a copy of the booklist and my child is in p1 now. What do u need to know?


If it is of any comfort, I am shocked to know how slow MBS is, in terms of EL. The pace is really horrifying compared to neighbourhood school. Til date, no mini class test to gauge how much they have learnt. I would say it is super relax and in a way, I am glad bcos it allows my child some time to settle down.

You really don’t have to worry abt cloze passages, comprehension or even creative writing for now. All these will happen later. If you take a look at the MBS test papers online, the comprehension is also v v straightforward.

I would say the only challenging about EL is oral. Doing picture description of a storybook can be easy but prediction may not come easy for kids who are not being read to frequently.

Length is not tested (in SA1) for MA and I feel fair enough bcos addition within 20 requires lots of drilling.

As for CL, I am all for sending to enrichment ctrs like Berries in preschool yrs. Berries has prepared my child well. Do give your child as many opportunities to recite something in CL if possible. This will come in handy too.
