Pei Chun Public

I remember at the P1 briefing, the school mentioned that for English there is an additional grammar book but has not been printed yet thus they would photocopy the 1st few units for the kids to start learning. The book would be given to the kids when the printing is completed. But according to my child, they have not used it in class yet thou he has been bringing it to school daily. Any comments on it?

Hi marmum,

are you referring to the blue grammer book ? My DS's class has been using it quite often leh. Different teacher might have different practice though.

[jce]

Yup, the teachers use this book differently. My daughter, currently in P2, has just started using this more frequently. In P1, she hardly use the book.

[peichunpublic]

yes. indeed. Different teacher carry out the teaching different way. My elder son is in P3 now, he didn't do any exercises in P1, did a little in P2 and now in P3, the book is no longer relevent!! :x

My younger son is in p 1 and again, his teacher doesn't do anything at at. So, my best bet is, ask the teacher and if she's not doing, we can do it ourselves .
It's our job now.

I'm struggling with my elder son's chinese. Anyone has a good tutor to recommend? Tried tien xia but long waiting list lei.... :x

So is there any homework in P1 ?

[jce]

Homework in P1 should be minimal, or at least that was the case with my daughter last year. This year (P2) she has homework almost every day.

Anyone knows if there is any swimming lesson in Pei Chun ?

[marmum]

I remember the school mentioned that there is a maths workshop for parents of P1 during the P1 briefing. The workshop is this sat, any idea what is the timing like and where is it being held?

I believe there should be swimming as cca for most primary school. I think it starts from P3 for such programmes.

[mamemo]

No news from the school on the maths briefing :?

For swimming, there is compulsory swimming enrichment in P3...

Pei Chun has a new vice principal ! Just curious, is it common for schools to have 2 VPs ?
