For P1, i know it;s opening on 4 Jan. I suppose it;s same for all? Can any parent help to provide how much homework should I expect for P1? Because I am a working mother so can only assist my gal at night. Also she has some enrichment classes on weekdays so wondering if I should shift them to weekends so she has more time for homework. Can I have an indication like how many ques per subject for homework? Thanks much.

hi Starrenee, thanks then it's 04 Jan. For homework, I think it's really manageable for P1. At times, there's no home work at all but on occasions there will be a few pages per subject. Your child should be able to finish within an hour. English and Chinese spelling will begin after a few weeks of school and the spelling is getting progressively more difficult. Other then that, I think P1 is really a honeymoon year so let the kids enjoy and adapt to the new environment. My DD enjoyed her 1st year tremendously and I am sure yours will as well !

Actually you dont have to worry too much. The P1 and P2 textbooks between the CL chinese and HCL is just a few extra words to learn. If you are really uncomfortable, maybe you could send her to CL chinese enrichment centres that teaches ahead of the syllabus, so it's kind of a double revision for the child.

Best regards

In that case, potentially, the biggest challenge would be to prepare your child for the oral presentation and oral examination.
