Jiayou to yr child and all p6s sitting for Sa1 soon! :xedfingers:

All the best, to all P6 students, in the midst of SA1.

For some primary schools :
Oral already started & is over.
But, next week starting (zuowen, composition). Then in the following week (after next week), start the main written papers.

stress is there, for students intending to use their SA1 results, applying DSA, need to do well, since going to use your p6 sa1 results to show principal of targeted secondary schools.

But if no (zero) intention to DSA at all, won't feel stressed.


tomorrow, Wednesday (Labour day rest, 1 May) : no school (public holiday)

Sharing yet another topic that has been tested in this year's SA1 oral exam: 户外学习体验 Outdoor learning

So far the topics were anticipated, as previously shared in this post: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=81235&hilit=chenlaoshi&start=2400#p1901348

Do practice with your child and get them to articulate their views.

Hi chenlaoshi,

Do you have the list of anticipated topics on your website? Do you sell online resources?

Hi sweetbaby,

A brief list of topics can found in the link in my previous post. I haven't done so but will try to release them during/after the week of my June holiday workshops.

In summary, 4 of the topics that has came out in 2019 SA1 are:
- 懂得为别人着想（图书馆）
- 帮忙做家务
- 户外学习
- 注意安全（组屋区）[/quote]Interestingly, one of the schools' SA1 oral this year tested the students using 2018's PSLE video - 友谊（互相帮忙、学）. This + another school testing on 懂得为别人着想（图书馆）+ past year oral videos not available in the 3 years series: won't be surprised if the videos get recycled in the future for Pri 5/6 school exams.

I read from somewhere - to avoid writing topic on kidnap, terrorism, murder etc ... it is too much for a kid to handle .., story development, ending etc ?

Hi follow parents,


MOE has released the Sec 1 posting results tentative dates. This year's dates - 20, 23, 24 Dec 19 seem to be different from past year's trends. I've just booked the air tickets for the holidays & it seems I may have to make changes. Though MOE mentioned the dates are tentative, does anyone know in the past years if there's any changes made to the tentative posting results dates or did it just fall on any of the mentioned dates?

Yup, extreme cases like death and murder should be avoided.

For that particular picture compo, it was only in the 5th picture that showed the boy's thought (that there might be a bomb inside the bag) via thought bubble and in the helping words there's \"alert\". Since there's only 1 \"picture\" left, the ideal ending will be the boy reporting the case, ended up being a false alarm but got praised for his alertness.

Hi mumof2lads,

For last year (2018) batch, born 2006 -
psle results were released on Thursday (22 November 2018), at 11 am. P6 students came back in their school uniform (wore their primary school uniform, for the last time). Many were nervous, seated inside school hall anxiously, according to their p6 classes, awaiting for principal to come on stage, announced overall cohort school performance. Eg. Principal may said, \"This year, you all did very ... \"

In some schools, principal may call out the names of honor roll, one by one : p6 pupils who scored above 260, above 270, etc. to go up the stage, took group photograph.


22 November 2018 was a Thursday, because 24 November was a Saturday, and there were a few secondary schools that held (conducted) open house, immediately following the release of PSLE results.

May refer 2018 (last year) psle released news announcement report

https://thenewageparents.com/psle-results-release-date-secondary-1-posting-date/


Hence, if this year (2019) batch, born 2007 (piggies), were to follow the same as last year's pattern, then very likely, 2019 psle results could be released -

Either on Thursday (21 November 2019), or on Friday (22 November 2019), reason being :
some secondary schools will be conducting open house, on Saturday (23 November 2019).


If you & your child happen to be overseas, on (21 or 22 ) November 2019 : may write a letter of authorisation to request your family member to collect Psle results, on behalf of your child. You can email your child's form teacher beforehand, notify class form teacher first that u are away on overseas holiday trip, hence write a letter of authorisation, get your family member to collect results. Results will be released, via class form teachers, around 11 am (morning)

Psle marking scheme

How about psle (maths / languages) ?

Do they still give (award) half mark, for psle

- maths paper 2 problem sums (structured questions), or to

- paper 1 languages (zuowen / English composition) ?
