My daughter has not reached her 12th birthday yet...will there be considerations for a lenient score?

Back to school work....homework now seems to be doing past year exam papers. For science, it's usually 30 MCQs.

MrsKiasu:

may I know when do kids start doing the Napfa test? at upper primary and on yearly basis?

P4 and P6 - I remember our time was yearly?

I think it was changed to once every 2 years not too long ago. Dd had it every year from P4 to P6 when she was in primary school. Sth about freeing up PE time so that the children can enjoy more sports/games during their PE lessons instead of training for the napfa test.

The scoring chart is different for different age groups but i don't think the difference is really significant. Like the \"passing\" grade for sit up for a 11yo girl is minimum 12 and that of a 12yo girl is minimum 13.

Another snooze night for her while yours truly here is panicking. Don’t know when her 1.6km run is…that one will be done during curriculum hours. hope she doesn’t come home with lots of homework. Need to time her for math paper 1…50 minutes. But if so tired, how to do it?

The 1.6km run is usually about a week apart from the fitness test, unless postponed to a later date due to the pupils' participation in competition or rain. The 2 components are usually stated in the same notification/consent letter to parents.

Don't worry Janet. I think all parents can relate to how you are feeling. We are WITH you. The kids are all oblivious to the approaching SA1 and how little time they have left till they sit for it. Sigh!
