Hi,


My son is in 1 observant this year. What about your child ?

Homework seems to vary from class to class. Generally,my son doesnt come back with loads of homework, but some parents from other classes seem to have lots of it. I think it really depends on the teacher’s style.

I didnt find it stressful, but i’m a very relaxed mom…would you believe if i said i didnt have any assessments books for my son during the first semester? I thought textbook and workbook is enough. But then i realized for maths, that’s not the case. Even for 2nd semester, i didnt buy the other school’s exam papers for him. I dont want to stress them out too early, but even then, i think i gave some stress during his 2nd semester exam.

For P2, though, i will try and be more "kiasu" cos they do streaming then…

My girl will be in 1 Loyal next year. She is still in K2 this year. I am more kiasu....hahahaha.....


We bought quite a bit of assessment books for our girl. Slowly we will be giving her to do daily to prepare her.

Did your boy went through screening test last year for class allocation?
Is it true that it is possible for a child to be transferred out of the class a few times within the same year? My friend told me that her girl class has a few transfer in & out within the same year. That sounds scary leh.....

hi babycutie71,


yes, my son did go through the test, and was okay for everything except handwriting…they mentioned that is not for streaming purposes…

i’m not so sure of the transfers…although i do know that some other school will pick weaker students out to put in smaller classes for more effective coaching…

[Imp75]

I will be surprised if it’s not to assess the abilities of the kids and arrange them according to their abilities. Otherwise I cannot understand why does the school bother to administer the test. The next question would be whether it is right to judge the kids who come from different playing field which currently is not regulated yet

seems like its quite common, sembawang primary also does it and the parents were also told they its not for streaming… Initially, we also found it hard to believe, but there is really no way to find out unless u have insider info…

May I know is there any existing parents who let their kids attend the Science Enrichment Classes by Kingsfield Education Centre ? This is organised by ChongFu Alumni.

Appreciate if parents can provide some feedback on the classes…Is it good ?

Do we need to cut our gal's hair on the 1st day of school?

Imp75:

do we sign up for CCA only when school reopens?

I hate to cut my girls' hair just to conform to the silly rule of short hair for non-dancing girls!

[snggy]

If your girl is not attending any dancing classes, then it will have to be cut before first day of school. As in, go to sch with short hair.
