Do your dd's Chinese teacher always indicate which pages to learn for spelling? Is it this week 听写五? It seems that it's getting more and more difficult and confusing. Thanks.

This week is on 听写四, don't know why skipped 听写三.
I actually taught my gal the 汉 (characters) but yesterday's memo written in the planner said will test 听写四 instead. So had only 1 day to learn both hanyu pinyin as well as characters.
I thought P1 听写 is just on hanyu pinyin.

Hi Janet,
My dd's class never skipped any spelling for both English and Chinese. She had 听写三 (bpmf dtnl) during Chinese new year week (brought forward) tested on 1.2.11 Tuesday and 听写四 (gkh jqx) last week. This week should be 听写五 for my dd. Maybe to let them recognise the words first then learn how to write later on. Do your dd always get full marks for her Chinese spelling?[/quote]Daughter's CL teacher finally returned my call...new teacher, don't know why there is a change.
I've yet to see daughter's 听写 (一/二）so far. Today tested on 听写四 (gkh jqx). Next week 23/2 wil be 听写五.

Hi Mummies,

My hubby came back last night after the P1 briefing tired but happy with the efficient administration. Mrs Tan is really a warm, tactful and caring principal.
Although CHIJ TP isn’t a SAP school, there is equal emphasis on both English and Chinese. After he has told me, I’m getting a little panicky…the school is rather ‘ON’.

Hi Mummies,

I am wondering if any mummy here has curriculum of P1 English for whole year.
I would like to know what will be taught for Term 2 English…only mentioned what will be taught in Term 1 in the IJ website. This whole Stellar thing is not helpful for parents as there is no textbook to fall back on. Hope to get some advice.
Thanks.

Hi Janet,
Could you email or call the teacher?

This is only a rough guide and its 2 yrs old. So, am not sure if 2011 is different. Handouts for the first 3 were given out.
(1) Singular/Plural
(2) Present Tense/Past Tense
(3) Animals, young, sound & their movement & home
(4) This, that, these, those
(5) few, little, any, much, many

Vocab - this is wide ranging and helps if your dd reads widely.

The only thing which needed to prepare (i.e. memorise) was the first 3. #4 can confuse some children initially but most children will understand in class.

Hi Mummies,

After the first term, I’m convinced that I didn’t make a mistake registering my gal in this school…the principal and teachers are ON but yet still give some breathing space.

No worries. Glad to share what I know.

Just realised that the school has been very active in organising Workshops for Parents for almost all levels. Initially, I thought it is only for P5 (in preparation for P6) as we’ve attended the Science Workshop & this Fri Math Workshop. But when I went to the web to check, I found that there are Math Workshops coming up for the other levels as well. I am impressed that the school takes the trouble to reach out to the parents so that we can better understand what is expected of our kids & how to better support them/work along with them.
