Heard the same rumours yesterday. No SA1 ... can breath a bit this mid- year[/quote]but are they going ahead with the p2 too....
wow....really? no exam till p2 sa2.....?php:
[quote=\"Mrsbongz\"]Markfch, sporty?! We used to think that he was skinny, just tall, until he told us he is the short boy in both class n student care!! But anyway, he prefers to say he is handsome :lol:
We wentat 130pm, no q at all. Generally doin ok, talks a bit during FT's class, doesn't talk at all in CL class, guess its dependant on who he is sitting with.
CL insists he sits in front row, as he's too short, so cant join his gd fren at e back row 
One tip CL teacher shared was to read textbk regularly. She mention parents always give extra assessment but neglect txtbk. To her that's most impt bcos its wat will b tested. Oh, n she mentioned no SA for p1, till SA2 in p2, apparently its a new directive despite wat we were told at orientation :? -
Trapwithin:
i would rather they have sa1 and sa2 but remove ca1....i don't wish to have a heart attack after p2 sa2....by then too late liao....difficult to catch up...Btw Henry Park also did not have SA in P1 but they have many \"tests\".
To me, having SA is not necessary bad. Better to get the stress now and start acting on them rather than wait until P3, might end up having more backlog to do. Besides, exam help to build stamina in kids who has never sat a 1.5hrs paper before.
Having said that, since Grace Fu has given her stamp of approval ... This PERI thing is not going to stop. It will continue on. So parents of lower Pri .. Rejoices.
brother markfch sure has different view one... -

That's what I heard .. No SA1 ... But P will be issuing a letter soon. The teachers are keeping mum on this.
but are they going ahead with the p2 too.... -

hi JRlam, tks for sharing d tips!
A tip from my P5 ds' EL T - to score in Compo, must write an INTRODUCTION in the 1st paragraph, then follow by the BEGINNING of the story in the 2nd paragraph. Note that INTRODUCTION is different from BEGINNING. Eg if the comp is about a girl involved in an accident, INTRO may describe the girl in the hospital, looking at her bandage leg and wished that she could be more careful. The BEGINNING will then be to go into details of what happened on the fateful day. This is called the \"Flashback\" technique. Another technique could be to start with a dialogue, before diving into the plot. Oh, not to forget to end the compo with a CLOSING that 'returns' you back to the introduction setting as a good wrap up.
:lol: -

My dw and I have the same thoughts as you. Remove CA but keep SA for P2. But I think the power of PERI coming from the top is huge .. Even the P cannot stop it

agree with u. My friend's kids' school, no exams fr p1 to p2, she said was a nightmare in p3. So for her no2, she gives her test papers to practice consistently so as to ensure d child wld b able to handle exams better in p3.

IJJ:
Both language teachers were very encouraging and suggested great ways for my girl. I am glad to know that my girl has scored above her class average for at least 2 subjects (MS) and most probably CL too, more so because she was on her own to prepare and revise her CA1. :love:
That's great to hear. I wonder if I ever dare to do the same for ds? Must wait for him to mature further and take cue from there. Btw, do you think your dd's independence is due partly to her living overseas at a young age? I noticed that international schools tend to focus more on character building rather than pure academic work.Trapwithin:
