today get to meet my dd English (form teacher), Maths cum Science and Chinese teachers...all 'looks' good! My girl should be able to learn alot of things from them

Went for the morning session with teachers today… The relief teacher from my dd’s class was not able to provide much info and seem to have wasted my time meeting the relief teacher. She’s not very people oriented and not tactical in handling parents’ queries… What a great disappointment! Can’t wait for the actual form teacher to be back to teach the class soon! Luckily the chinese session still can gave me some insights of the chinese programme and the various activities that will be conducted for the year thought not very in depth!!! Got to manage my expectations!!!

Hi any 5D n 1E parents out there? I’m unable to attend the meeting today. Any info to share?


Thanks!!

Disappointed with today’s meet the parents session as we did not even get to meet the form teacher. As the FT couldn’t come, they got another teacher to do the briefing. We couldn’t get much useful inform also as this teacher was not a FT of any class. pity the teacher who was bombarded with Ana from those who came late cos they didn’t know the teacher was just standing in for the FT who couldn’t come.

seems like the Teacher conference doesn’t seems to help ! so why hold a TC when they are unable to give info ?

felt weird when they change P3 EL my Pals to HM. Is MBS going down slope?

Actually the same for other schools, they will eventually roll out to Stellar for the P3s and 4s. Just that MBS is using HM textbook instead of the Stellar books.

Hi, care to share why HM is not as good as my pals?

By looking at my ss’s worksheets, it is very simple and useless. My cousin who is also a tr told me not many schools are using HM (Haunt Me). She mentioned that it is very activity based and the children is supposed to be learning through play. Come on lah, our kids are sitting for PSLE right which they will be tested on grammar, comprehension etc and not play!

Playing is good if it can get the kids engaged in reading. As long as the kid is engaged, he/she will learn well.


A friend of mine has a little girl who can read long chapter books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Phantom Tollbooth by the time she was in Primary 1. I think understanding grammar and comprehension is just a matter of explaining what they are to a child who is already a proficient reader for her age.

The girl came from a very play-based environment and her mummy plays with her a lot and hardly ever used assessment books. They write silly stories together and play a lot of verbal games.
