I bought the books from Popular yesterday...but have not written his name/class on them. Shouldn't be a problem with the books right bcos I didn't buy them from school vendor. Thought of wrapping them but worried.

Janet, if you had matched the titles of the books word for word, edition for edition, publisher for publisher, then shouldn't be a problem.

I passed the booklist to one of the guys in charge of textbooks at Popular...checked the titles he took...no problems. Oh yes, P5 Maths textbook next year will be using 'My Pals Are Here'...no longer 'Shaping Maths'.

Just like to highlight another question to show what they mean by ‘PSLE marking’ system.

P3 Q42 Why did his heart rate increase while he was jogging?
DD ans : His heart needed to pump more blood to all parts of his body. Marking : wong, no mark.
Teacher ans : His heart pumps faster to supply more oxygen to all parts of his body.
What I want to say that you need to be supply more details to your ans, mentioning blood is not good enough. So better to get assessment books with more detailed explanation. For me : I think a more complete ans should be : His heart pumps faster to supply more blood which is rich in oxygen to all parts of the body. (link blood to oxygen, easier for kid to understand).

Personally i think \"more blood\" is incorrect leh.. i mean, the amount of blood is always the same in our body.

Agree. To get the full marks, the child needs to provide more details in relation to the question. The teacher's answer doesn't seem to be very accurate either...I like your answer as it is more detailed...the body will need more oxygen-rich blood when the person is jogging.

my son gave the same answer as you DD, also no marks. he lost all three marks here.
I doubt that their science teacher has explained this concept clearly.

Why I mention this, is that some assessemtn books will just mentioned 'The heart pumps blood that flows in the tubes call blood vessel'. Hence kid will just put blood to that Q42. I think ought to give mark (maybe half mark) to my kid's ans, IMHO. (to let the kid's know that it is not wrong but not enough).

Same here.

Actually I feel that teachers should explain some of questions which commonly appear in exam papers.


In P4 SA2 Section B, there is this question. What are the 2 advantages of using electromagnets over permanent magnets in the magnetic levitation train ?

Answer from teacher (according to PSLE standard
i) We can control the strength of the electromagnets.
ii) We can switch on and off the electricity when we want the train to stop or move.

Had a Discussion with PH Teacher this Morning on the Subject of Class Renaming ....


Confirmed P6 is Gonna B Named Resilience ....
And Other Levels R Gonna to B Named according to the 5 Values ....
And the Students R Gonna B Educated In Each of the Named Year's Values, They Say that this is More Meaningful than Charity, Faith, etc but the Students R Not Really Being Taught Relevant In-Depth Values of the Class NameSake ....
Charity Students R Not Really Charitable, etc ....

And Yes, the Top Classes R Gonna B \"HIDDEN\" somewhere in the 10 or 11 Classes, Probably they will change the Class Numbering for Top Classes Every Year ....

My Feeling is This is Gonna B Effective for those in P1, Or Probably P2, where Level Position Has Not Been Publicised in The Report Books Before ....

For Other Levels, Just Look at where the Year End Top 10 Students are placed in which Class - AND the PUZZLE is SOLVED, \"WE KNOW WHICH IS the TOP CLASS!\"

You are right about effectiveness for this year's P1 to P2 as they will be going en-bloc. The top 10 award recipients with still be together with their current classmates. The P2s to P3s will be banded and like what u had said of other levels, the kids will ultimately know the top class by identifying the top 10 scorers.
