My girl did very well for her english, still don’t know the results for Maths… Tomorrow is the Chinese and we have been practising over the weekend so I hope she can handle the hanyu pinyin…


After this, stil have to prepare her for some english compre in april right?? OMG!! Stressed leh!!

Oh so the kids are going for learning support aka remedial classes based on their performance this MA? I didn’t know that leh… MMmmmm… hope my girl doesn’t need to go… hehehe…

Btw, i was asking about creative writing in P1… are they starting? Or only start in P2?

I thought the Principal mentioned something about story book review beginning of the year, so what is happening now ah? My girl is reading, not a lot but ok… and do we need to note that now somewhere?

Think the maths paper is easy, slightly more than half of my DS's class got full marks ! Let me see the paper when he brings back today.


Ya, i think MA 1 is easy, no problem sums, no sentence writing etc. Think MA 2 would be tougher. But I guess no difference to my DS, he doesn't really care.

Not sure about creative writing...

For the books reading, I got my son to record the chinese and english books that he read in the pupils diary. So that also encourages him to read. During the parents briefing, the teachers mentioned about some record card, but so far I've not seen it yet.

Ya saw the Math paper, quite easy but my girl is very happy with her results and I hope this is a morale booster for her to study hard and do her best in all future tests and exams…


Think need to check with her FT about the reading thingy. So far we do not record any of the books read except for her enrichment centre’s book reviews…

Hi Callie,

I heard the average mark for maths in some classes is like 23++ and English is 21++.


Think MA1 is really either give away or kids are really v v brilliant now.

My kid also surprised me by doing well in both papers, phew!


For the 26 to 29 Apr oral paper, I’m checking with the teacher whether it is book discussion or picture discussion (coz my son told me it is more of the former). And whether we need to prepare the book beforehand. Will inform when teacher reverts. Any of you know what they mean by "Picture Discussion – book cover"?

In my opinion, it is like what the teacher did during orientation. She showed the kids the cover and encourage them to guess the contend of the book.

Yes, do let us know what is it about.

Hi, thanks! My girl is doing her Math with Concept Math at Goldhill, next to United Sq. It is started and run by an ex Ai Tong teacher...

Wow, the kids have done well!!

MA1 is very foundamental and most of the stuff tested are actually repeated topics from K2. Hence, the kids will generally be able to handle and do well, I think. That's why I told my girl to do her very best and score for MA1... subsequent MAs might not be so easy liao....
