2019 PSLE Discussions and Strategies (Children born in 2007)

I think form teachers will still tell the students but not to us parents cos some parents put too much value to numbers and ranking.

Our piggies have left lower primary journey, have completed P3.
in 1.5 months’ time left, after Christmas 2016 over, soon they’ll embark on their Upper primary journey (P4 to PSLE)
during this remaining school holiday (Nov / Dec) -
if have time, do make good use of time during holiday : try to revise writing of all Chinese vocabulary, taught in (P1 to P3) so far, in case your child had forgotten how to write some basic Chinese characters.
going forward into P4 : Chinese learning will get … steeper. -
I started P4 Math and Chinese with my princess liao…super kiasu lor. My strategy is to teach her all the Math topic during the school hols. She will have ample time to ‘digest’ the new topics. The rest of the year will be like revision for her.
It is easy to teach topics. It’s the questions that are hard to solve as you need to think out of the box! -
Which do you all think are the subjects with the biggest jump in level of difficulty from P3 to P4?

don't mind me stepping in....but the biggest jump in difficulty would be from p4 to p5 and also gets a little tougher from p5 to p6 because there are new topics to be taught as well as revising for psle. -

Chinese. The rest are pretty much ok. Maybe some math heuristics. -
For us, it is Chinese as well.

Inside your P4 SA1 school report card next year (collect around 2017 end of May) :
the one that have the widest standard deviation swing, & often come with a Low average cohort mean -
is the subject that your P4 cohort tend to have problem understanding , in your school.
Perhaps that subject had not been taught adequately, in your school. As we know, some Teachers or even some HOD are lazy. Every school fall into a certain neighbourhood. But, the standard of each neighbourhood primary school, differs.
Each primary school's cohort results are different, u may refer your report card to check, next year.
What about jump in difficulty,
from P4 to P5 ?
The jump in difficulty, is much greater.
usually Is Maths or Chinese, or can be both.
That's when they start to offer Foundation Maths, or Foundation Chinese / Malay, to selected P5 students.
a number of primary schools offer P5 Foundation Chinese.
eg
some CHIJ schools, Angsana, Chongfu, Dazhong, Raffles Girls (Rgps), SCGS, Elias Park, Keming, etc
some schools offer P5 Foundation Maths.
eg
Clementi primary, Rgps, SCGS, Mayflower, Chongfu, Marymount Convent, CHIJ Kellock, CHIJ Katong, CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel (OLGC), Angsana, Fuhua, Dazhong, Kuo Chuan Presbyterian, Elias Park, Keming primary, etc
a few schools offer P5 Foundation Science.
eg
Rgps, MGS, SCGS, CHIJ OLGC, CHIJ Kellock, CHIJ Katong, Fuhua, Chongfu, Dazhong, Mayflower, Kuo Chuan Presbyterian, Elias Park, Keming, etc
some schools offer P5 Foundation English.
eg
Zhenghua primary, Fuhua, Mayflower, Marymount, CHIJ Kellock, Keming, etc -
Thanks everyone for your sharing!

Agree with janet88. The jump from p3 to p4 is nothing compared to the jump from p4 to p5. Of course, every subject will increase in level of difficulty and depending on the child's core strength in the subject will determine how much effort the child needs to put in to bridge the gap from p3 to p4.Serendipity:
