hey kiasuadult,
i will PM u abt my son.
haha, can imagine how happy u all must be, cos after all the hard work, it is time to have fun finally!
hope you didn't make any careless mistakes and get everything possible correct so you can score really high and get into RVH or whichever dream school you want!
for now, enjoy whatever's left of your remaining days in Pr school and capture as many happy memories as possible!
oh yes, ytd assembly was very fun was it? my son came home humming some tunes and kept making different sounds with his vocal chords and then when i asked him where he learnt all these, he said during assembly, cos some invited guest performed beat boxing?
and oh yes, for other parents with P1 kids, this term's PAL for the P2s is Gym. The external vendor teaches them gymnastics I think. Ds1 talked about forward rolls and stuff. Said it was very fun.
can't believe this is Term 4 already. and soon their P2 year will be over! next year, it's time for him to work much harder as the CAs and SAs will begin. hope he's fortunate to get good teachers like this year! -
yes the assembly during monday was one of the most fun assembly i had in my most six years. a hip hop group called built from skratch came to let us know more about hip hop culture. check out the videos of the performance at these links http://www.youtube.com/vjskratch#p/a/u/1/0e1o7Mq2L9E and http://www.youtube.com/vjskratch#p/a/u/2/U0rJbM5D7w0. they were quite entertaining and the one doing the beat boxing was actually a 4 time national champion for beat boxing! and he did mention that he honed his skills from young so maybe ur son is aspiring to be like him?

oh and for the pal programme it seems so fun! i'm jealous
because during our time we did not even get to have fun like this! and the p2 even have swimming lessons which we did not have as well. so sad 
-
yes LKVM! time flies right? so cliched but it’s so true! P3 sounds so big to me. for you, your son will be in P2, also sound so much bigger than P1 hor?
thanks Kiasuadult for the hip hop videos! I didn’t know abt the hip hop too. cos Ds1 only did all the funny vocal things. i can ask him abt it now. good to have you in this forum to share!
indeed, the kids nowadays have a lot more fun stuff in school. me, champs and LKVM time did not have all these, and did not have all your things too! so each generation and cohort will envy the later ones!
like, I didn’t have IP schools to go to. had to take O then A levels. so many exams! didn’t have overseas trips in school. at sec or JC level, only for the very select few. but now, whole cohorts get to go overseas on learning journeys! the camps now look so fun too!
and err, for assembly. i always hear ds1 mentioning a lot of fun stuff and performances. funny, LKVM and champs, do you remember all these for Pr sch assembly? i certainly don’t!! -
Hello!~~
Being quite awhile that I din drop-by to say Hi!
Term 4 is rather a short and busy one and now is already week 5! :shock: :shock: Have been busy around DD1 for her upcoming SA2 exams - in fact she just had her Listening compre on Monday and Tuesday, tomorrow will be EL Compo and Friday is CL Compo
Then in about 2.5 weeks' time will be the paper 2 which constitute 50% to the overall weightage :nailbite: :nailbite: This is the final spring in the long marathon run since beginning of P3 this year and I must say, :thankyou: it gonna ends soon!
I must say the journey thru from Jan till now is a challenging and a hectic one that I always wanting to :siam:
..But on the other hand have to tell myself to press on because it is thru this learning process, i get to be in the study-partnership with my DD1 :please: :please:
I am looking forward to the Parent-Teacher-Meet (PTM) :rahrah: ...but don't think the school has issued any letter informing parents of the actual dates right? Hope to have more time to chat with the teachers :evil: :evil:
:imsorry: to bore all of you with my long-winded story :oops: :oops: ..Hope to share with you all more soon!
Cheers! -
I haven’t received anything on PTM yet. I think Champs is assuming there’ll be one since there was one last yr and the yr before last. I am thinking there should be, although it is not on the school calendar, am I right?
Or is it that usually there are 3 PTMs in the year and since there was one in Mar this yr, does it mean no more in Nov?
Cos last yr there wasn’t any PTM in Mar.
I guess we’ll wait for more news… -
LKVM, haha, yes, I also vaguely remember some community song singing and school song singing during assemblies. That's when we learnt those songs like \"roll over the ocean, roll over the sea\". Do they still learn it now? Champs? KiasuAdult?
Cos this is one song I rem all Pr sch kids used to learn but I don't hear both my ds singing it now.
I also remember different teachers or classes do take turns to perform something on stage, sometimes story telling or songs. Sometimes the P will give a speech the entire session, reminding us to be responsible etc, all those value-imparting. (I was from Catholic Pr school that's also SAP, so they emphasise a lot on being respectful etc too)
That's abt it. Don't think there was hip hop dancing trend in Sg yet at that time. haha
Champs, I think it is great you are a partner in studying with your dd. I hope to do that nxt yr with ds1 too. I will definitely browse through the assessment thread in KSP for advice before heading to Popular this yr end! -
nope i did not record the video lah cannot on hp during curriculum hours :evil:later phone kanna confiscated
it was the guy from built from skratch who recorded all this and he gave us websites to contact them such as their facebook pages, twitter and youtube account. i found this videos at their youtube account. oh and for those songs like \"roll over the ocean, roll over the sea\" we dun learn them nowadays. i think the children will probably find it lame 
but we used to have MPW though which they cancelled this year. although it was only for a year, it was quite fun as we got to do exercises along to music! they brought it back again this year during children's day though i can't catch up now :oops: too long never do the dance alr. and all the best to those taking SA2! -
Oh, thanks for sharing. What is MPW?
Ya, everything the older generation does or say is "lame" now hor. lol. But do you actually know this song? -
MPW stands for Mass Physical Workout which used to be conducted every Wednesday morning last year. I can't remember whether the lower primary were involved though but i think only the upper primary were involved in this. again you can check out the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4dHp8zAR4Y. we did not do all the exercises shown in the video. we did only witch doctor, kungfu fighting, i like to move it, slave to the music and stop drop and roll. slave to the music and stop drop and roll were not very frequently done but the rest was done quite frequently. sorry but i do not know the \"lame\" song.
