There are few lessons conducted in the morn b4 the CCA. Only 90 min ?[/quote]Hi E3, the memo didn't state the CCAs, but I remember reading in the handbook that Pri 3s will learn Table Tennis and Basketball, Pri 4s etc etc... cannot remember cos I only remembered for Pri 3.. haha... but will check DD's handbook when she comes back from school later...
I received a memo on Modular CCA to be conducted early this week. Tuesdays 8 - 9:30am will be for classes Rby 7,8,9. Is that the one you are referring too? However, nothing was stated what CCA could be conducted during those 90mins.E3:

Eh, I thought I read somewhere (can't remember if it's the handbook) that for Pri 3 this year it would be Table Tennis for first semester and 2nd semester basketball? :?

Term 3, that is the term without any CA or SA.
Same here, no mentioning of the swimming classes yet. Can you remember which term was it usually conducted? Will it be conducted in the same term across all levels?E3:
[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]HI E3,
There is a compulsory modular CCA every year. P3 was swimming, P4 was table tennis during school curriculum. This year, I've yet to sign any forms.
Either Clementi or Bukit Batok swimming pool...all the P3 classes.
P3 kids will be split into 2 groups, first half to Bukit Batok, the other group to Clementi. 4 lessons straight during school hours.[/quote]Last year, its term 3 for swimming too. Last week. 3 days of the week. 2 hours (3 hours if you include transport and changing). Entire cohort went to Bt Batok Swimming complex. Frankly, I did not think crash course like this achieve anything. When mine was with BTPS, they did it in P2, 1 hr /week for 10 weeks. That was a better arrangement, IMO.
Oh ya, I brought mine home for 2 of the 3 days, straight from the swimming complex.
She also did table tennis as a modular cca in P3 either 1st or 2nd term too. If I did not remember wrongly, after SA2, we filled up a form to make choices (2/3 or 4) for some sports too. Cannot remember if its modular cca or sport week. She opted for soccer and netball (or something.. :? ). -

Maybe there is a change then.

What I like is the CCA is conducted during school hours...although lessons are affected, the kids do not have to stay back...but do give them more time to rest as it can be very tiring.[/quote]I think Swimming lessons are MOE-initiative, the Modular CCA Programme is PH-initiative. -

Haha...since we have the handbook, we should read it more. Looks like it's quite informative. I usually turn to the page for exam percentage weightages, that's about all. Hehe...

It's one of the learning outcomes for PE syllabus. All students, by P6, should be able to:-
Yes, most probably. I will SMS with my P friend now to check if swimming lessons are initiated by MOE....
1) Swim one recognised stroke.
2) Demonstrate confidence in water without buoyancy aids.
3) Understand pool and water safety
I remember reading in the news recently that a new curriculum will be introduced, the focus will be more on water survival and life-saving skills. -
E3:
Haha... Yes we should! I only started reading it this year! Have never touched it when DD was Pri 1 and 2. Guess it must be the influence of KSP forum

Wow that's good! I hope DD will be able to swim by then.

By the way, my P friend has just replied me. She says all schools are encouraged to as it is a survival skill all students need to acquire. Hmm, so E3, you are spot-on! -

Sorry if this has been asked before. If my dd already knows how to swim (that is she has certificates), does she still need to attend the swimming lesson?
