Hi comfy! So great to hear fr u! Hope r everything is goin well n yr dd is enjoyg new school n friends! Happy Chinese new year!

Thks periwinklejoy, well my DD seem to be enjoying the GEP prog. and have make one best friend. I can't say for the behaviour of some of the boys that occupy her class when she has to go for her group lesson. Still has some issues to iron it out. Never have such problems in PHPPS. Do you know what, for one of her projects, they ask who she would like to invite to NYPS? Surprise, surprise her 3rd choice is PHPPS's P. Don't know what to say. Maybe to teach certain boys in NYPS to behave. So far, I have received alot of information and a two terms of activities schedule. So I can say, NYPS really keep the parents well informed. Today, drive my DD into the school (normally I don't) , well the P is still present to welcome the stds. She make my DD feel welcome with her action and presence. Hope to see DD settle down and be happy with her school life. Sorry seem to share more about NYPS here although this is PHPPS. should said :offtopic: Cheerio!

Great to hear that she is settling well.

A little episode from my dd:

First thing my dd told me when she came back was that there was no teacher in class during Social Studies lesson. I asked whether her class went havoc during that period. Her exact words, \"Havoc 是没有，可是 class monitors 站到脚酸就有, and I finished reading my Amos Lee.\"

One of her classmates forgot to bring her SS book and borrowed money from my dd, intending to buy a new book. SS teacher only gave them one chance. In the end, she managed to find another friend from another class to lend her the book.

My dd's conclusion, poor monitors suffered cos no relief teacher was there during SS teacher's absence and her classmate would have wasted money buying a new book since the teacher was absent. The one most at fault is the teacher who did not have a relief.

She didn't know the procedure of who is in-charge of allocating relief but I am appalled that no teacher was in class for a full 30 mins. Anything can happen without proper adult supervision.

:!: :!: PHPPS are you reading this .....

DS told me he is sitting next to a tall gal at the back. He said that she's very hardworking cos today during free time she was reading the 好朋友 mag instead of chit chatting like the rest of them. But nevetheless, he is not going to mix too much with her cos he prefers boys.

Then there's this chatterbox gal who was told to sit alone by herself cos she can't stop talking in class. I wonder what other story is he going to share with me tomorrow?

Iirc, comfy didn't prepare her dd at all. She only knew about these tools after her dd got selected.

Welcome back comfy!

Does ICAS topics include all subjects (EMS)?

Thanks. Hope your traffic situation ease over time.

Cheers!

Thanks to all the warm welcome. Yes, E3, the ICAS topics do include all subjects. Infact, there are papers for P2 even. So parents of P2, you can have a headstart if you want to. Ha..... really KS, right? But then, if you look at some top schools, I realise some P2 has already exposed to such papers. So PHPPS is consider 'late'. I only find out ICAS when PHPPS ask stds whether they want to register for such papers. If is a real pity, as I find the papers really interesting esp the English papers. They are really different from sch. papers. Really open your eyes. The sci for P3 covered certina topics that are not cover by in our school syll. Good for general knowledge.

Well, IMHO, I don't know what to expect for GEP screening/selection test. So how to train? It is only after DD sit for it then I realise that those resources that I metioned/shared are good exposure/ training sort of. Start asking my DD how is the papers/ what is it like? KP abit here and there. That why I am pleasantly shock that she was selected for GEP. Most of all, I know that most of the GEP stds from PHPPS simply love to read and read alot.

So Your Son Still Got Hope ....

Erm, but ds's handwriting is quite ugly leh. I can just imagine next time ds is the cailgrapher and I'm the ink mixer (like in olden days the 书童 will prepare the brush for the 少爷).

Certainly not an attractive preposition ..... so I think I'll pass :nunchuk:

If I remember correctly hor. When I do presentations, I'll use this phrase when I'm unsure of what I'm saying, sort of like a face-saving caveat.
