[quote=\"tisha\"]For my DS's school, CA1 result not included in the report book. In fact the school refers to it as class test.

moonflower:

Yes, it's included in the report book.

Hi tisha & moonflower,
Thanks. DD came back & told me CA1 results will not be included in the report book so I was a bit surprised. :? Her FT said the reason is because it's not a true indication of the student's overall performance as there will not be oral, compo for CA1. FT told the class to treat CA1 as a wake-up call. :snooze:

CA1 Results is Always indicated in Report Book and Carries about 10% towards Whole Year's Weightage - Has Been this Way Since P1 ....[/quote]That's how the assessment has been like for DD too since P1....10% weightage for CA1 towards whole year's weightage. That's why I'm puzzled about the change in marks distribution for P6. :scratchhead:

No CA - only tests, i think. Prelims 1 is in April. Prelims 2 is in Aug. Surely all will be in report book.

Hi phankao,
Your child's sch has 2 prelim exams?? Is prelim 1 the equivalent of SA1 and prelim 2 the equivalent of CA2?

Hi Tinkerbelle


Is not easy to find CL story books that dd likes when compare with the EL story books. As such I think the best way is still to watch more CL show lah.

Hi Brenda,

Ha ha....watching CL show...defintely no problems. DD's favourite past time. Hope she's listening to the Chinese and not reading the subtitles...

We went to watch A Great Great World over the weekend. DD didn't understand all the dialects so she read the subtitles for most of the show. She had a great laugh....a nice break from her hectic sch work. Only thing is, after watching the previews at the cinema, now she wants to watch 172 Hours and I'm Number 4. Guess that will have to wait till after CA1.

Hi Tinkerbelle

Same here. :hi5: I guess your dd must be also watching the new 9pm CL show :
A tale of 2 Cities.

If we buy the CL DVD show, I would try to choose those come with only Chinese subtitle aim to sharpen the listening skills and take it as like reading E book..

Yes. I also tell her after CA1 we will go for show again. Mean time she still has 7pm and 9pm CL show and also her favour Thursday 8pm show - Point of Entry etc.

Hi Leanne

You’re welcome.


I would say these are two different type of story, unlike xiao mao, 小豆豆的日记 is make up of 61 short stories about her childhood life and wonderful learning in a special school etc

Cheers

Hi Brenda,
Thanks for the great suggestion. ...I will buy CL shows with Chinese subtitles in the future. That way, DD will have to listen and not rely on reading Eng subtitles. If she reads the CL subtitles, that'll be a bonus.

Yes, DD watches the 7pm, 9pm Chinese shows and some programmes on octo channel to unwind after a long day of sch & HW.
