fr p4 to p5 .. results dropped

[potter]

Thank you laughingcat, phtthp, janet88 n others these 2 nights when i was trying to sleep, i could not stop blaming myself for not putting in enough effort to help my boy that's why the consequences now. I already knew all the changes in his sch since beginning of the year, yet I am not doing much to help. From now on, I need to be involved in his studies... fully agree that cannot depend on sch or teachers anymore. I also understood the real meaning of \"collaborating with the sch\"...


Janet88, is this the book that u recommend?

to me, collaborating with the school means parents do their part of coaching and not depend on teachers.
the cover has changed...but contents wise, i remember it is thematic...ie diversity, systems, interactions.
the other good title is Top Science...which i ding dong between p3, p4, p5 and p6 at different times for revision.

Tnks for the reply mummyxoxo. Given that his school is now less supportive and really doing the minimum in terms of additional academic support, I already somehow mentally prepared for this kind of drop. However, did not expect to be so drastic. His HCL compo is only 5/40 and was told many students from top classes failed very badly too, single digit kind of marks. At the same time, I also do not wish to over-react by changing tuition centers or adding more tuitions etc.I really hope he will progress over the next few months.

Potter, you need to take a look to see whether your DS wrote out of point (离题）for his HCL zuo wen.

HCL itself is not easy and quite a number of my dd1's classmates dropped HCL by end of P5. Cannot purely rely on teachers, you need to follow closely too.

hi lee_yl, all students who got below 10 indeed wrote out of topic. for regular class work, my son usually gets around 27-28 so I was shocked when SA1 dropped to 5. even though out of topic, content marks is affected but there should still be marks awarded for language... to get below 10 is too heavy a penalty. I will seek clarification with CL teacher as to how grading is done.

I will leave it to son if he wants to continue HCL... to think about it, I am ok if he wants to stop HCL from next Semester onwards. greatest fear now is whether a \"F\" in HCL will impact his DSA chance next year...

Hi potter,


Not sure if your P5 son’s primary school allow zuowen scripts to be returned & brought home, for parents to review.

If yes, take a look at his HCL zuowen, see what mistakes were made.

If no, book a session with his HCL Teacher, go down school to meet Tr, ask Tr show you his P5 SA1 zuowen script : find out what kind of
mistakes he made, & also ask Tr for step-by-step guidance how to overcome problem, in the coming-up next October SA2, 4 months’ time down the road.

are there many primary schools taking CA1, in 2018 P5 ?


which are some schools, taking P5 CA1 ?

For Chinese, the 'drop' is understandable. I won't use the word expected since some kids have really strong foundation and/or are adaptable.


There are new sections like 完成对话 and the types of mcq questions is expanded to 句子选择 choosing the appropriate sentence for the given phrase, 词语解释 where students have to choose the meaning that best fits the given phrase, 虚词选择 identify the appropriate functional words to use in the missing parts of given sentence.

Some schools do not introduce the 阅读理解（二）A组 section which is like graphic stimulus were there's a notice/advertisement followed by mcq questions and email/note/invitation card writing.

For parents who did not know the above, were you 'overwhelmed' when you read that? And I haven't even mentioned the other components

Understand what they are going through, find out what problems and challenges they are facing, give them time, show them support :rahrah: , shower them with love :hugs: . It's not just a straightforward case of work hard and pay attention = good results.

Yes need to 审题 for HCL Compo. There are specific MOE exam scope that students have to abide that a certified MOE teacher/ PSLE marker/examiner like myself would know. I research into this aspect and conduct June Holiday Course on that annually to train that skill. You’re welcome to know more.

sigh... my DD results did not improve after the drop from P5 SA1.

in SA1, her marks is as below :
Eng : 69 (p4 = 82)
MT : 68 (P4 = 70)
Sci : 72 (P4 = 69)
Math : 42 (P4 = 72)

SA2 results :
Eng : 50
MT : 55
Sci : 72.5
Math : 67.5
she says in her class, only less than 6 students pass Eng & MT overall.
and for Eng Paper 2, all in her class failed. (her class is in the 4th class of P5)
in the top 2 classes, about 70% also fail Eng Paper 2. not sure if they set a tough paper.
dont know how to survive P6 next year....
