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!

[Kabby]

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?

[KiasuAdult]

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.

[Kabby]

Wow, i didn’t know all these videos existed on youtube. haha. thanks for sharing it with us aunties. I shall ask ds1 tmr if he did this last yr. i have no recollection of him telling me this though.


coincidentally, while i was viewing this video, i saw that Evergreen Primary also did this as a mass exercise. they have a short clip on youtube too. so CPS does it this way too? and did the guys in the Jump Jam clip actually go to CPS to teach you or did your PE trs teach you the steps?

[KiasuAdult]

LKVM, it’s never to late to learn! 活到老学到老！and yes MPW is something like the scene shown in the video. the jump jam guys did not come to teach us. teachers like miss sim soo wei and mr jason khoo(both have alr left the school) taught us the steps then they will play the video and we will do according to the video. it was very fun actually!
