I also do not know what is tangrams![/color]

Haha, qms, you're so cute...


i think it's like puzzles (my dd told me) the children are asked to place some shapes and fix them exactly into a bigger shape.

But i am more worried about the time section (i think they have mass, length, shapes, time and one more that my dd said they need to draw lines to match and colour...?? :? ) The question posed in this session goes like this:

Quote from my dd : John starts his homework at 1.00pm, he takes 1 hour to complete his english homework. He then takes a rest for 30 mins. He goes on to do his maths homework and he takes another 30 mins. WHAT IS THE TIME WHEN HE COMPLETES HIS WORK?

Parents, if what quoted by my dd is true, is this standard too high for P1?

I was like :!: when she told me!

According to the textbook, they have covered how to tell time by hour and half hour (o'clock and half past) are they setting these Qs to cream out the smarter kids?

blue-march, did your daughter actually tell you this question? I wonder whether all classes have the same questions. :scratchhead:

My son's question was quite similar to your daughter's. The difference was he was given the end time, and asked to calculate the start time.

You send your daughter for enrichment classes, right? So, if you think it is difficult for P1 standard, then, it should be very difficult for my son, who receives zero enrichment. :shock:

Anybody going for the Speech & Drama performance next Tuesday?

Aiya, I am not sure if she has quoted the right question or phase it correctly, but i just think the assessment test them on something that they
haven't learn.

The other time she came back with her english paper and pointed to me 1 question that her FT told them , it was her fault because she didn't teach them so the entire class got it wrong. She actually apologised to the whole class.

My dd has stopped her kumon class since Jan and kumon do not cover these area. I think need to scout for last year exam papers liao... :moneyflies:

With questions so tough, I guess they are trying to suss out who are the REALLY GOOD ones from the whole cohort. I guess there will be questions of this sort for the final exams.

You mean the FT told the class that she forgot to teach them...my GOD :shock: How could she???!!!!
