Hi autumn,

Just curious, what MT tests are the P1 having on 16-18/2? Then another MT test on 2/3?? So many tests for P1 MT this year :!: ?

16-18 they have this 1) Ans questions based on what teacher asked (textbk) & 2) Read 2 HYPY sentences.

Then the 2/3 is the paper test I guess.

Sorry I don't have my scanner installed else would upload for u all

Thanks Tinkerbell, I was just wondering when I can visit the school. Wrote them an email but never got a reply. Guess everyone's busy with the CNY holidays :). At least now I know about when the open house will be, thanks for info :). I suppose I hv to find out from the school website for the actual day, correct?

Hi gin,

:welcome: back to KSP & the MCS thread. Wish your DD all the best in her P1 registration exercise this year. MCS will usually have an open house in May. Maybe you can consider bringing your DD there for a feel of the sch. :lol:

Hi autumn,
Thanks for sharing. I'm just curious. Looking at your note, I can see MCS has changed the format of MT assessment slightly this year. Last year, DD2 didn't have these components: (1) Answering questions based on what teacher asked (textbk) & (2) Read 2 HYPY sentences. Only had the test paper. Can see that MOE is placing more emphasis on oral & reading skills now. :lol:

Good luck to all the P1 gals with their MT test on 16-18/2. :ugogirl:

Hi Gin,
In the past few years, MCS Open House was held in May (the last week of the sch term). If there are no changes this year, guess the open house will be sometime between 23/5 - 27/5. Ya, definitely a good idea to check the sch's website in May to confirm the actual day. :lol:

Hi funkymonkey,


The reason why I wanted to know is because I am a bit worry on my DD2. When she try to read, she tends to start from the right to left. When she trace words, she also start from the right. This morning she wrote a number 4 for me, and guess what, she wrote a mirror image of 4! Is that a sign of Dyslexic?

Hi jesyeo,
Our therapists told us she's dyslexic when she was 4 and we confirmed by atge 5...as that was when she really started learning how to write.we also attended classes at DAS for about a year.:)

[jesyeo]

Thanks. I have checked with her and got to know that she had changed seat again as the teacher wants her to help one of her classmate. She said the previous classmate not helping, that's why.

Tinkerbelle:

Hi jesyeo,
Your DD is indeed caring & helpful to help others out with their sch work. Keep up the good work. :celebrate:

Hi jesyeo,
How old's your DD2?
Some kids especially the lefties do some reversal letter/mirror image.
My gal sometimes write \"ouy\" instead of \"you\" and will even miss reading words..reading from right to left (we worked on this for SO LONG) and and misread words like \"far\"as \"for\".They have poor phonetic awareness and rhyming is really difficult for them....i still remembered when DD2 was 3,she rhymed fat,bat, cat ,sat,yellow fellow and DD1 said\" yellow flower\"(!) :!: they complain words are \"moving\" on the board/book and gets headache when reading too long....
If your DD2 gets to K2 and still reads right to left cannot differentiate 6 and 9 poor rhyming and pnonics..maybe should get her tested just in case.It really helps when i knew what was \"wrong\" with my gal.its \"easier\"to help her once we knew what kind of help she needed :love:
Hope this helps
