My child told me that he is sharing the locker with a classmate. Not sure that is true. Also, the word bank should be used for inputting both words learnt in school and at home? Thus, its for their own learning and record purpose and not so much for use in school, am I right? And with regards to the Chinese Book Review, my child brought back a set of papers with the 1st page having columns that require them to write the story they learnt at school and tell us parents about it then we sign to acknowledge that the child has told us the story. The rest of the pages seems to be the titles of books they read and write on review on one particular book that they like most (i guess) which consists of many similar pages. Sorry, not very good in mandarin thus not sure if I read correctly. Thus can some parents enlighten me on it. Thanks in advance.

Whether a child has to share locker will depend on whether the classroom is shared by two classes. E.g. if the classroom is used by Pri 1X in the PM session and Pri 3X in the morning session, then the children in both classes will have to share lockers. If the classroom is only used by one class, then the children will likely have one locker to one child.

Gave kiddo lock for locker aft all. Seems that the teachers are controlling usage eg. can go to lockers only at certain times. Asked him to dump grammar book, art & civics stuff inside.


Such a bummer, exams. But nothing new right? MA is like CA1. Nothing has changed. More worried abt kid’s rampant carelessness. Topics not so hard eg. numbers 1-10 only. Anyway booked holiday in March. So will have to start revising asap i guess.

Kid also asked me for NLB card to borrow books fr school library until student pass issued.

Does anyone know if problem sums will be covered in the first MA? Examples were given in the exams notice posted on PC website…

My boy kept mentioning about a pilot/instructor came to school and gave a talk about flying on Friday during assembly. Did any of your kids mention that? He even copied a URL into his diary, http://www.theaeroplane but apparently, it is not the correct URL. Anyone knows the correct link?

Thanks in advance.

Hi to all P1 parents.


As we all know, MA1 is approaching. Although we have the scope of the test, any ideas/ suggestions on how we can better prepare our kids?

For example English - they will be tested on the first 4 books, but what will we use to revise? Similarly for math, the scope is numbers 1-10 but what do we revise?

My girl in class 1B, she hardly brings back her math & eng activity workbook etc, as such I do not know where she has progressed to???

any suggestions? my fren told me to start buying other school’s exam paper to start practicing but I am reserving that option for now. What are your views? Thanks

Ah... I thought P1 no more exams... other schools still have exam papers ?
