Hi, can anyone advise whether homework load is hectic in P1?

Different year maybe different. For my girl last year primary 1 homework, I find it quite hectic.

My boy in P1 this yr. It depends on the teachers. Some classes I heard has no or little homework. If the teacher is diligent in getting them to finish the work in class, then less homework. My boy's class is one of the worst one as the EL teacher absent frequently, so more homework when she tries to play catchup on syllabus.

For my child last year, it was very manageable. In fact, he seldom have any homework. According to him, he finished most of his work in class. But for his classmates who couldn't finish in class, they will have to take the work home to complete.

do they have spellings every other day in P1?

EL Spelling is once a week, 10 words. From Term 2, besides 10 words, comes with 1 dictation sentence. CL Spelling is about once 2 or 3 weeks. So not that bad.

Thanks Timtim

Yes. The green form should already state the orientation date/time.

Am I right to say tat? If this is the case, then it is not so good to the student as they need to absorb so much things in such a short period.

There relief teacher sometimes may just ask them to do their own things, so not necessary covering the work of the absent teacher. So the students will be loaded with homework once the teacher is back....sigh.

My gal in P1 this year. Some days she has tons of homework but some days none. Noticed that usually when she gets lots of homework is when teachers get them to practice / revise for the coming mastery tests. But on those days, she can get homework for 2 or 3 core subjects - maths, english and chinese. I really pity her for those days as she really does homework till she is so sleepy at night. We are worried that the grandma has no time to get her to do homework in the morning. When she was on 3 to 4 days mc for fever, the homework catch-up to keep up with the days she missed school was really quite tough on her.

Yap. I agreed.My girl have asthma. I really have to take good care of her as Nowadays children cannot even afford to fall sicks like us working adults too many MC being \"Black Listed\". For our dear children cannot catch up with their homework if fall sick. :sad:
