Sigh… SA1 exam format and topics to be tested are given to DS yesterday…

Oh My Gosh:
Will schools give talks to parents to let us know the pros and cons for IP and IB programmes? Looks like a lot of us are still a bit confused on the exact details, except it is a 6 years through train.
I think it will be a good idea to attend the IP n IB schools' Open House (once u have narrowed down your choices). Also do take note of the different school fees that are being charged. -

My dd received the SA1 examinable topics and format letter when she was having her CA exams. I could not believe my eyes and just filed them away. I guess I must take out them now and read them. -

Do you have a rough gauge on the fees structure? I only heard around $300 a month for IP schools.Oh My Gosh:

Can anyone advise whether can use correction tape during psle written exam?
-
Went to google 'correction tape' in SEAB website. Results showed a forum letter http://www.seab.gov.sg/.../PSLE_CorrectionTape_Forum_Reply_05072006.pdf that says it's discouraged (no mention of disallowed) but the reply went on to include
\"Based on our past experience, we found that the use of correction
fluid/tape can affect the performance of pupils and the legibility of their scripts.
Examples of these include:
· Pupils forgetting to write in their answers after applying correction fluid, because they went on to answer other questions while waiting for the correction fluid to dry.
· Pupils spending time waiting for the correction fluid to dry or reapplying correction tape to mask their original answers, before proceeding to answer other questions. This results in some loss of
time.
· Pupils writing answers when the correction fluid is still moist, thus rendering their answers illegible.
· Correction fluid adhering to the opposite face of the answer script, causing answers on the opposite face to be smudged.
· Correction tape causing opposite faces of the answer script to be stuck to each other. Separating these pages during marking could cause damage to the scripts and hence affect the legibility of answers.\"
Letter says discourage not disallow - so I don't think kids will be penalised if they use. In view of what they had experienced, I think it's pretty sensible - I faintly recall forgetting ever to write something down because I proceeded on waiting for the correction fluid to dry, not sure if it was during exam time.
Exam time is short (relatively), applying and waiting for fluid to dry or tape to be on target will waste precious seconds/minutes. May as well strike out nicely and continue. Believe the markers should be kinder than primary one teachers (I still shudder when I recall DS P1 days where freehand straight lines are immediately marked wrong). -

School sent out SA1 topics while CA is going on??? This is scary. What are the additional topics which will be tested?
