Hi to all Pri 1 parents, cant help notice that the pace is picking up, the weekly chinese and english spelling... numerous maths topical tests... gearing up for the SA1 in May... hope everyone is staying sane with the amount of homework piling up. Good luck to all of us parents too!

My K2 DD also has weekly Chinese & Eng spelling. I guess the kindergarten teachers are already preparing them for P1 :shock:

My DD is in P2 there, didn't notice that they have topical tests beside the CAs and SAs last year. Did they change the P1 syllabus this year? Anyway, the kids are resilent and they will adjust to the workload, have fun, and make it fun for them as well.

Hi, anyone attended the Maths intro class to Pri 1 parents on Friday? Thought the HOD Ms Lee was really passionate about her work and teaching of maths to kids.


She was very practical to the approach of teaching maths, ie must make your kids to want to learn maths and love it, if not it will be tough forcing them to do the challenging homework!

yes, i agree but i feel the maths workshop started too late. If introduced earlier, i might have more time to use their method to teach my gal, especially close to exams time....

I had visited Alphabet Playhouse recently; a lot of students are from RVPS. I found that the daily programs are quite comprehensive. Maybe can check it out.
