Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary

Just a quick follow-up on the P2 SA2 CL paper 1. HOD called. He mentioned that the 20 mins reduction in time was to train the kids to write in a shorter time frame.


He mentioned that the expectation is not as high as what my dd’s Cl teacher expected of them. Her models were always 200+ char compositions for all the 8 practices, and I assume that the kids in her class had been trained to write like that too. However, she told them that they could take more than an hour to write those compos.

Mr Lim mentioned that it would be best if they can write like that but it’s not easy with 造句 thrown in. He might get the teachers to let the kids have a practice in class and see whether they can complete within the hr time frame and not end abruptly.

He also mentioned that it will be 5 造句, not 10.

I guess it is good to train them to write like P3/4 provided that they can be ready to write like that for the exam too.

Each 造句 is 2marks...and if I didn't remember wrongly, the sentence must make sense and grammatically right.

Hi, anyone know what will the P3 students be tested for Chinese oral? My kid did not bring back anything about what are the components. Only took back for english oral.

For SA1/2, there will be oral.
For Chinese oral, it should be reading the passage and 看图说话.

The FT replied my email :Parents are not allowed on this trip.

According to my boy, not entire P3 cohort going on this trip. Must apply first, then see who is selected.

Yup, FT replied no PV too. Jennifer, will your son be applying?

My son has been selected to go for this trip. He said only 18 pupils in class chosen and there were some not selected. I wonder what criteria they used. :scratchhead:

On the eve of PSLE exam, I got another kind of 'excitement' to share. Just received a letter from PH. DS is placed in 1 Loyalty. I remembered donkey yrs ago on my first day of P1, my dad was grinning from ear to ear as he was carrying my school bag to the car. So proud he was that his son was going pri sch. Now it's my turn. Sob! sob! Getting too emo liao.


A few simple queries.

a) Do they allocate students from the same registration phase (eg 2A, 2B etc) into the same class?

b) DS's house is Luke. What is this house thingy about? Is it similar in concept to Harry Porter stories such as gryffindor or ravenclaw?

c) How many sets of uniform & PE attire is enough? Is 5 sets too much? Letter said recommendation is 3 uniform & 2 PE attire. My part-time helper will only come on Sun to iron the clothes. I'm too lazy to do any ironing during mid-week. I very much prefer to see ds in crisp and clean attire, the way my mum used to make sure for me during my time.

d) What are the name tags for?

Wonder if ds's kindy classmates are in the same class too? So exciting

I'm also thinking how allocation is done, even though daughter isn't in Pei Hwa. Is allocation done based on Phase 1 (30), the overflow goes into 2nd class etc etc.

b) DS's house is Luke. What is this house thingy about?
Honestly, this 'house' thing is no big deal.

c) How many sets of uniform & PE attire is enough? Is 5 sets too much?

My son has 3 days of PE in lower primary, wearing only the shirt/pants twice a week. If you don't have time to iron, then maybe get 4 white shirts.

d) What are the name tags for? Identification purposes.
