Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary

E3:

Lizhi, no matter what, a P3er cannot effectively grade a compo yet. She asked them to check the grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes. However, sometimes, grammar is not so straightforward when it is used in different sentence structures. My dd told me she was marking a messy piece of her classmate's. I think it defeats the purpose if the child is struggling marking their peers' work. FT is cutting the corners.


If she returned those marked copies with her individual comments and grading, then I have nothing to say. I hope she does. That piece was done quite some time ago. If the kids marked their own compos, we don't need teachers anymore.

Even upper primary may not be suitable to do it, let alone P3 kids. Compo writing is subjective base on individual's expereinces, reading variety and personal ideas. Can't comprehend what is the intent of this CL T ?

It's EL T.

I doubt their CL T will attempt to do that cos I believe many of them are half-buckets for their CL compo, that includes my dd. I think her CL teacher is too kind.

Hi Parents,

I called up school to enquire the dates for SA1...now that May 9 is a public holiday.
Someone in general office told me the school premise may be used for some election/polling venue on May 6 (Friday)...and that school may possibly end at 12pm. Anyway, I'm waiting for the circular to be issued as confirmation.

It would be wonderful if the school can be used for Polling Day, then I wouldn't have to go to Greenwich to vote.

Has anyone recd the official letter to do voting? Bn donkey years since I last voted.

Haven't checked letter box yet.
However, son came back with letter from school...P3, 4, 5 & 6 (not taking HCL) will be dismissed at 10am on May 6.

CONFIRMED - Pei Hwa is a Polling Station.
So P1 and P2 .. no school :celebrate:
One more day to prepare for exam.

So that means no need to go to Greenwich Sec for Holland-Bukit Timah ?

I presume the polling station is dependent on our address?

Thought of sharing this incident related to Oral test.


Ytd was my boy's CL oral test. He claimed his passage reading is good. How he knows? The class had practices and a particular boy recd good reviews from the class teacher. So my boy copied this classmate's reading style- tone, pitch and speed.

So, remind you child to pay attention during oral practices. Can learn from other classmates' strengths and weaknesses.

My son also mentioned before that a boy in his class is good at all subjects, especially Chinese. Maybe is the same classmate.
Your son is good, knowing to copy this classmate's reading style. My boy replied me \"how to copy?\"

This year my P4 boy has a very good CL teacher who leaves qns/comments all over the compo. The most recent one was returned and the pupils were to re-write the compo. After taking into account all her qns/comments, my boy attained a 10/15.

After talking to this CL teacher during PTM, also feeled that she is responsible. this year's CL 笔记is very well summarized for the student.

Hi, did anyone receive the pamphlet distributed by this uncle outside the sch, promoting some June Holiday camps by Science Buddies focusing on Science (and some Maths)?


Has anyone sent their kids there before? Any feedback?

Thanks

My ds is in Science Buddies since beginning of the year. He's in P1 and he does (simple) experiments all the time. He enjoys it; and that's why we're continuing. He learns new stuff thru practical experimentation such as the principles of gravity, airlift, photosynthesis etc. It's all fun stuff and totally non-academic.

I just wanted to ignite ds's interest in science, partly so that come P3, I won't have a hard time nagging him to pick up the science textbook. And partly so that he can be a more well-rounded person. Not sure whether that's what you're looking for though.
