Hi Seniors,


Please share what was life for your child when they were in P1 here? What were the expectations?

Your input is much appreciated to help me figure out how to prep my gal for next year.

TIA

Sports wise - zero expectations. No worries.

Academic wise, Buy P1 papers and let your kid try.
If they can do it it and get >80 marks, you need not worry much.

Character wise, be independent.

:thankyou: for the pointers ttyh.

Please elaborate. when you mentioned P1 papers are you referring to the exam papers from other schools? >80 before they enter P1.. oh dear.. I better speed up on the topics that I'm exposing her too..

Someone with a child in P2 there told me very stressful... :shock: Is it really more stressful in P1 and P2? In what sense, very high expectation? Lots of homework?

Thanks again..

Thanks.

Plenty of homework during the long weekend.

I think parents may feel stressed in p2 due to the sorting of classes in p3 based on results.

Geez.. I hope my gal will be able to cope well.. getting her to do homework now can sometimes be such a struggle..

ohh.. P3 sorting classes.. what is the criteria for sorting? based it on results like all the #1 go 1st class etc? :faint:

Yes, those papers where you can purchase outside or download.
By now you K2 kiddo should know + and -. Simple multiplication up to 5.
Able to count coins and know what is hrs and minutes hand.

He/She should know chinese characters (at least able to read and understand first, writing will come later)

P2? The major differences are the need to write compositions for English and Chinese. Tough...
