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 ?

So are the swimming lessons consider CCA and is conducted outside school time or is it part of PE lessons and is conducted during school time ?

As far as I know some schools do have 2 VP.

It's considered enrichment, conducted after school hrs...hmm, might not be compulsory, can P3 parents shed some light on this ?

You can check from the sharepoint website under P3 briefing for parents.

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.

My girl in 1F uses the grammar book but not very often...

I am very puzzled about this whole teaching curriculum. While it might be true that teachers have different styles, pace and ways of teaching, it can't be so diiferent within the same level right? How come some students use the books regularly while some didn't touch the book at all?? If I am not wrong, the steller materials did refer to the grammar book for some exercises to be done... then those students did't do at all??

But seriously, some fundamentals of English grammar need to be taught and drill into the kids. Personally I feel that more supplements need to be given on top of the steller materials...

I guess Pei Chun has a pretty big population... and with so many ongoing programmes etc, a 2nd VP is needed to help out...
