Kranji Primary

[newcomer]

Hi RMB,

She’s in 2B2 in Yr 2011

Hi YeeTeemum,
The purpose of doing worksheet during P1 orientation is to test their English language standard, base on the results from the worksheet, the school will group them into different english classes, those who are good will learn more and will have more difficult spelling list, while the weaker will learn at their own pace and have simple spelling list. Also when the P1 kid in term 3, the school will also assess their term1 &2 mother tongue standard and group them into different MT classes. My son took higher Chinese in term 3 & 4 but dropped back to standard MT in P2.

Thanks newcomer.


KPS is like always "streaming" the students. My boy’s MT not so good, & by 3rd Term, he gotta change his MT class. Good in a sense they learn according to their pace. Most school don’t stream from P1-2 or 3. but here in KPS, even P2 they stream them. Wonder is this the new style of the new principal?

Newcomer, what about during your son’s time? They stream them?

newcomer,

huh? does that mean for a start, for maths and chinese they study in same class, then english period they change class?

then from T3, maths same clas, chinese n english change class?
oh, n i didn’t know KPS offers higher chinese…

wah… then the kids must rem which class to go to, and also, won’t they be wasting time changing classrooms??

Hi hi


My girl will be in Kranji next year. As no student care centers is willing to fetch the afternoon session, I'm planning to find a care-taker for her. Anyone interested please PM me. My girl is attending childcare, and as she is a only child, so I will prefer someone who has children too, ideally someone who child going Kranji Pri next year too.

Hi lattes, my girl had juz enrolled to the student care at Yew tee cc at level4. why not u sign her up?
We missed the orientation but I'm glad to hear all the good comments here abt KPS cos we were the op-out ones from DLS too...

Hi Everyone!

My son also will be joining KPS next yr . Didin't get into De LA Selle in phase 2C altho living a few blks away. Anyway, didin't have a good feeliing abt this sch.

I also heard the new principal is good! Think she was present at the registration day if i didn't recognise wrongly, introducing her sch to parents.

I asked the staff on the registration day abt when the sch will be in full day session. She said not so soon. P1 & 2 for next 2 yr will still remain as afternoon session. They no need renov & is waiting MOE to decode when they're converting. Also good for us, no need so rush in the morning.

Btw, they don't have SA. Their swimming class is compulsary becos it is within their class module unlike DLS is optional during off class hr.

Have you all receive the more details from the sch other than the orientationd day date (20 NOV)?

Tks.

Hi ww1228,

I missed the orientation. There is a compulsary swimming lessons for P1?

Hi Hamster


May I know why do you withdraw her from the yewtee CC studentcare center? So far how do you find Kranji Pri? Do you know whether there will be any orientation for parents…

Hi Lattes,

I noticed its not what I want. Admin is blur etc..and I think the children there are hard to control. I had found another new student care which is \"BETTER\" !

So far I think Kranji pri is ok.Not to stressful as I heard other schools are having spelling and dictation already!. I heard from a parent who have an older kid said last year school PSLE scored not too bad.

I think there will be a parent to teacher session on end of this month (TBC).

[lattes]

I hope there is a parents teacher meeting since Kranji didn’t organize any "proper" orientation for parents. And till now, still did not receive any food price list of the canteen which the principal said to give on the first day during Nov’10.
