Oh, It wasnt 80 plus marks,my mistake..... she obtained 90plus marks in P4 SA2, was this year p5 before SA1 that she was asked to attend remedial.... think the teacher has beeen observing her progress and found tht shes not quite consistent with her marks as she normally achieve mid 80s... the P4 SA2 paper was rather easy so her marks are not justifiable. Many obtained 100 for maths in P4.


From experience, those that score 70 and below do get to do remedial but again it depends on the teacher and her expectations.
In P1, my girl usually make 2 mistakes for her c/l spelling...surprised when dd had to attend remedial, her c/l teacher looks at her overall performance and not just the marks.
Just as well, she went frm remedial to high chinese and is still at it today. My thanks to this strict teacher today, she was very dedicated.

Faint!


P4 & P5 Maths are tough! Because there’s a huge quantum jump in Maths curriculum depth from P4 onwards, compared to lower primary standard.

you said - many girls score 100 for Maths. wow! rgps girls are so academically inclined ! Those scoring 100 - who are they mostly ? is it across the board for most girls, or mostly from GEPPers ?

anyway, those scoring < 70 consistently & are selected for Maths remedial, take how long to complete remedial ? half a year ? each week 1 or 2 hrs duration ?

Theres normally a drop in SA1 in P5 as the demand in P5 is very much higher than in P4 so got to put in greater effort. The same goes for science.
For remedial, my girl went for an hour after school, didnt last that long, think close to 2 months but her chinese remedial lasted for one term.
I guess the teacher will review the childs progress as they go along. Attending remedial classes does not necessarily mean the child is really that bad, sometimes the teacher may feel that there are certain areas n weakness tat they need to work on besides some parents treat it as a form of tution for their kids.

the detailed curriculum briefing to parents is normally done at beginning of each year, in January (first few weeks after orientation).


for P4, it was conducted on Saturday morning 9am - 12 noon, January 15 2011. During the 3 hrs long session, it would also have touched based on base banding for P4.

refer school calendar:-
http://www.rgps.moe.edu.sg/cos/o.x?ptid=49155&c=/wbn/calendar&uid=1762&focus=2011-1&tag=

so if you're interested & keen to hear P4 - come again next yr, January 2012. Refer calendar update again next yr, January.
