PSLE Chinese - General Discussion

[tianzhu]

lizawa:

There is a 2002 character list, which I don't think is relevant today because there was a change in the chinese text books the past few years. So this year's P6 should be using the new text books and so should not be following the old character list.

Hi lizawa

I think the Chinese syllabus for PSLE 2009 is the same as that of 2008.My son is using the same textbooks passed down from my nieces who took their PSLE exams in 2008.
If I am not wrong, those who are in P5 this year are using the new textbooks.

Hi tianzhu.

Yes, sorry, I think you are right. My daughter is P5 and she is the using the new Chinese textbooks.

I probably mixed up with the Science textbooks. Is your son using the new Upper and Lower Block Science textbooks ?

Hi lizawa

My son is still using the old Science textbook.So, I think PSLE 2009 Science syllabus is same as PSLE 2008.
Only those in P5 this year are using the new Science syllabus.Simple machines and Solar Systems are not included.

Went for briefing on PSLE last night and whew it is will grilling time for my son by school.


Gotten back his CA results, perform below his std cos he dilly dally, knowing the concepts but lazy to apply.

I am now abit confused on how to ‘grill’ him on top of his work, but not to let him lose steam due to too much work.

And to pyscho him that P6 is a milestone not a trip.

still trying to figure out… now abt 7 mths to PSLE…

any advice?

Mine is RGPS. Should be as you said exam format, plus Sec Sch posting. I heard my girl said one student asked dance teacher to teach dance steps for DSA. I also received letter from Eng teacher on conducting interview (ie helpful for those applying through DSA) and ask to provide CD for recording the interview process.

Is your son in GEP? RGPS GEP is using I-Science. But this yr, mainstream switch to Perfect Match. Seems teacher never use text but ask students to learn from internet. So I did a lot of printing from internet in office.
