Oh, pls take care. My gal was having runny nose for the past 2 days and i gave one shot of Yummy House Honey. So far so good


Yes, talk about the EL test, though my gal is in P3, she was telling me some of her friends scored 6 or 7 out of 20. I was quite shock with such result, esp when this is just a small tropical test. I would usually expect quite near to full marks, esp for small test like this. Am I harping on the \"impossible\" ? Can parents throw some light on what kind of marks do you expect your child to score for this type of \"tropical\" tests ? Thanks

tks... ya, there are kids who get such marks for topical tests.. i also expect my son to get as close to high marks as possible

Thanks for the prompt reply as I am still quite \"raw\" to the school standard. At least now I know I am not the one going for the \" Mission Impossible\". My child is quite careless when doing the major SAs, especially so when there are many pages. So, hopefully these marks count for these tropical tests..

There are some circulars to the parents on the weightage of tropical tests towards the total tabulation of the overall results.
One thing good is now the emphasis is not only on CA and SA.

A good tip from one of my frenz is, for 2 models, there must also be a comparison in the question first. Not sure if this is useful to you ? Anyway, I noted my child works well without models . By enforcing modelling on her, sometimes it can confuse her too, even though she is P3 now. Nevertheless, guess we have to still try as I was informed that as they reached upper Pri, modelling does help them a lot in understanding.. Btw, anyone going for the talk this Friday ?

We just follow MOE (give up), mainly to clear Pri level progression and PSLE in their way. A friend of ours happen to be level-head in a pri school. He explain that modelling adds to challenge conceptual skills, unlike our days everything is by route-learning.


Eg of route-learning include memorising mulitplication time-table at Pri 2 in our days, now seems taught in a different way rather than direct memorising. Any parents in upper Pri care to comment?
