phtthp:

for P4 Science (SA1 and SA2) open-ended Section B :

If spell wrongly in Scientific terminology, in answer script -
will Tr penalise students, like minus away half a mark or 1 mark, for wrong spelling ?

Yes

[sembgal]

P4 year is the best time to close up any gaps that the child faces and weaknesses have to be addressed and help to be sought either by parents’ private intervention to coach the child or to engage a tutor. Spending too much time on leisure activities, extra enrichment activities like ballet, gym, piano, art, during weekends when the child has difficulty coping with the academic workload in school, will open the floodgate of doing catch up work when the child moves on to P5.


Review your child’s work once in a while. At P4 level, the child should be an independent self-directed learner, does his/her own filing and be capable of doing his/her own self-learning at home.

There are children who do not do well in school because they are not focusing when the teachers are teaching. The attention span is somewhere else, either the child daydreams or the child is doing something else secretly under the desk. Parents are kept in the dark. The shock will come to the family when the child does badly in exams. The teacher is the best person to approach to find out about how your child learns in school. Being defensive about your own child will not allow the teacher to spill the beans totally.

So little time, but so much need to accomplish in such a short time for SA1, in 3 weeks’ time

SA1 round the corner… my DD is far from self directed and independent…if left to her even homeworks wont be done …

[phtthp]

P4 Form Tr will start separating out the students’ desks soon, one by one, inside classroom, get the students to sit according to their class Registration number, get ready for SA1 …


by now, exam Time-table dates schedule, should be out.
ask your daughter to start preparing for Chinese & English Oral, zuowen and compositiion papers, first, because Oral and compo usually start first.

Maths & Science : tested later.

today is week 3 (Term 2)
SA1 starting, in 2 weeks’ time, week 5 … mid-year exam in progress …


next Friday (14 april) : good Friday, no school

[Estéema]

DC's SA1 oral for both Eng & Chinese just over this week.


S'times our kids get study fatigue. Better to give them small \"happy moments\" or rewards - his/her favorite Jap, Korea, pizza or MosBurger meals (just one w/o over indulging); swimming with favorite person, ice-cream, etc. Then, at meal table outside of home grounds, congratulate child for completing Orals & agree with child to be ready for completing the SA1 journey. Ensure they've sufficient rest, take a deep breathe & \"chiong\" again.

All the best to all kids taking SA1. :xedfingers:
