Rulang Primary

[silverhorse]

[I was given the topics and areas to be tested for CA and SA, percentage, components for all subjects in the beginning of the year. We even have the whole year's schedule printed in the handbk and they rarely make changes. On the whole, I feel Rulang is very systematic and organised.


Lock,

I agree with you... i treat the coloured papers like treasure and its my guide when I'm helping my son prepare for revision.

RRMummy:

Hmm... we only got to know about the Oral Exam on the Monday after the holidays :slapshead:

Rulang has printed all the exam dates and other activities from Term 1-4 on the handbook (pg 44-47). So, actually from the handbook you should have known when are the exams dates way in advance The school will only hand out memo when nearer the actual dates with greater details. So far, I observed that there is very minimum changes to the schedule given in the handbook.

RRMummy:

Alamak.. maybe my fault for not teaching my gal in advance.. me got a few surprises.. :slapshead:

Don't be too hard on yourself. I never teach my ds in advance too. But I do ask him to do assessment bks (on topics taught in sch, never on those the sch havnt cover yet) on top of his regular sch work and that's where he gets further exposure to the language used and phrasing of questions.

Frankly, I am surprised that you are feeling so stressed over the exams. My personal experience is that I just make sure my ds pays attention in class and complete all his homework and practice some exam papers nearer the exam dates and he's ready. Like I mentioned before, he's rarely tested on things not covered in class or from worksheets.

I have more stress for my dd (in another sch). Her sch teachers only go through the basic textbk stuff with them. I have to teach her all the other challenging stuff which will also be tested but not taught :faint:. Plus, I have to get her to write compos at home cos she doesnt get enough practice from sch.

At least, over at Rulang, they do teach the kids the challenging stuff and they also give compos (EL & CL) on a regular basis. I don't have to worry so much for my ds. Currently, most of my time and energy is spent on my dd (P4) :frustrated:

I don't have DDs handbook and past exam schedule with me now, but I do recall some surprises due to the new way of testing P1s.. gotta double check and confirm..

RRMummy,

Did you attend the talk at the beginning of the year at the school hall? Your child will bring it back home as the teacher gives it out in class for parents. Its multi-coloured papers ( one color for each subject) and it spells clearly what is to be tested in CA1, SA1 and SA2 and the marks proportion....

But I guess, since the Pri 1s are doing holistic assessment, maybe its different? I'm not sure. Just keep a look out next year.

That multi-coloured stack of papers may not be given on day 1 of school. I think it is usually during term 1. However, the tentative dates of CA1, SA1, etc various important activities are printed in the student’s handbook.


My dd is looking forward to celebrating Children’s Day tomorrow.

phtthp:

a) P1 2010 Maths here, but inside don't have Rulang

There IS a 2010 Maths Paper from Rulang from Mrs Wong Tuition. But only SA1, not SA2.

Btw, I think there is a clause on Mrs Wong's blog that no direct links to her resources should be given? If I remember correctly she specifically requested that parents/students who are interested to download her exam papers are directed directly to her blog to sign up for them. She's also a member here and I do think after all the effort she put in to put up the papers, we can at least respect her wishes.

[phtthp]

Thanks buds, for gentle reminder (din read her clause properly).


can you pls help to edit your message - remove the link into her website direct?

Thank you very much for kind help rendered.
