Mine came home with a grouchy face. :lol:
She said for the tiny organism question...they stand uncorrected. FT explained to her...some micro-organisms are tiny, some are very tiny.
For the flower question...the basis is flower will become fruit...so they also stand uncorrected that \"The plant would not bear fruit.\" The fruit hanging on the branch is to be ignored.
For the penguin's beak question....eating includes chewing and swallowing, penguin does not chew, so eating is wrong.
For the right angle question....totally not mentioned.
:roll: :roll:
If I am in my 20s...my blood would have started boiling and rush down in a cab to ask them why why why? :roll:

dyh:
not sure. but that is not the point. the point is it is very difficult to gauge anything less than 1 degree error without a protractor. i believe the aim of the question is to test whether the pupil understands the less than 90 degrees concept, not whether their eye can tell between 89 and 90 degrees, so they should make the angle more obvious if they are testing concept...[/quote]agree with you. the 1 degree differnence is insignificant.Jennifer:
[quote=\"dyh\"]My boy used ruler to measure, but still thought it is a right angle. so it is a bad question.
No offence, but I think you shld ask your boy to show you how he used the ruler to check the angle. I need to teach my boy how to place the ruler properly so as to get a proper measurement. -

agree with you. the 1 degree differnence is insignificant.[/quote]just spoke to the FT when she called me about another issue. i asked her about this angle thingy and she said the angle is 89 point something and they cannot mark it correct because otherwise they are sending a message to the children that it is a right angle. :roll:

She still insisted it is possible to measure it with a ruler and showed the class how to do it. I complained that they should not make questions so vague as they are testing the concept and not how accurate is the eyesight. she agreed that sometimes pupil may have parallax error. she said she will feedback to the dept about it so that it won't recur.
So i guess it is case closed. -

Congrats, Comfy!

Anyone know how many PHPPS kids made it?
I know at least got one
Grats Comfy :celebrate:
I heard (not verified), only CH3 have kids gg, a total of 14.[/quote]Congrats to PH kids who got in to GEP. Frankly speaking PH always has quite a number of kids qualify for GEP every year, not only from CH but also some from Faith and other classes. When is the briefing for the GEP? -
comfy:
Congrats comfy...what to paisay... u should feel proud of yr dd....First of all, I would like to thanks Trapwithin, Jennifer,Perwinklejoy, Markfch, Ijj and E3 for your heartfelt :congrats: . I appreciate that. Actually excited and also quite paisay to announcement it here. That why only mentioned it in the GEP thread.
I can't participate in the science and math qns as my dd has taken them to school else I will definitely have alot to say. Like Jennifer has said, must not treat PH papers too serious else can really :x . I, too, am going to put my faith on the PSLE papers as the qns must clear and with a purpose else lot of parents would complain.(tons of them will appear in the forum).
I have not decided yet, anyone any suggestion which gep sch to send my dd to? Pl, yes my dd is in CH (I thinik someone ask) and 14 in CH got in.
would you like to share with us how u and yr dd did in preparation of GEP exam? you and yr dd are our role models now...haha....
we have 14 from CH, maybe another fews from FA, GR, HO & others..
so PHPPS will lose about 20+, almost 1 GEP class...i think most GEP schools have 2 GEP classes per level and about 25 students per class.
the principal would definitely feel sad... losing so many gifted kids to other schools and who know, maybe one of them will be the future top PSLE scholar.... -
IJJ:
comfy, i don't think it is a very difficult decision where to send your dd to..comfy:

If you ask me, stay in PH!!! You will sure miss us!
4 schools within this area, NYPS, NHPS, RGPS and HPPS. probably yr dd will have to consider the school culture, CCA programmes and others.. and whether yr dd will be continuing her HCL... i believe distance is not a problem for you at all....this is much easier as compare to P1 registration... -

This time, noone from Fa3. Mine and her gang are happy, that they can still continue to see one another every schooling day. Girls stuffs, not sure if the men here can understand.we have 14 from CH, maybe another fews from FA, GR, HO & others..

IJJ:
well, no difference for boys and girls la... they knew each other for 2 to 3 years and you want them to change to a new environment...i wouldn't say most of them...i would say all of them will not like it....

So NYPS got chance liao :lol:markfch:
Btw, I read that NYPS GEP classes are super hot so not all who applies can get in. Another round of balloting in store? Keke.
My friend (a teacher) told me, priority is given to those who stay nearer and from a SAP school.
Seriously, if you are more \"conservative\" in values, then NYPS might should better becasue it is a Chinese School. However, if you are more Westernise .. then RGPS might be more suitable.
The other factor to consider is whether you would prefer a all girl school after your dd has been in a Co-ed scho for 3 yrs. Having boys around can be more fun sometimes. Just some thoughts. -
