Hi Francoise,


Thanks for the information. May check it out after the holiday:-). Now DS is enjoying his four days holiday as P1 does not really has exam after the holiday. So we enjoy when we can :-).

Hi Rejoice,


P1 has SA2 commencing 28 Oct to 2or 3Nov, so it will be good to use this 4 days to revise. Plus all the different task performance…so it’s not really a holiday for P1s…hehe. FT had given all the files to bring home for revision too. Good luck to your DS SA2.

Cheers,
astee

Hi Rejoice,


Good luck!

Hi Astee,

So for P1, they’ll only have SA2. No more mid year exam right? How about tests?

Hi Francoise,


For P1, the school uses a holistic assessment plan that review the child performance every term. Term 1 assessment is not taken into consideration to the final results as this is the kiddos transition period.

Fyi the breakdown is:
CA1 (Term1) : NA
SA1 (Term2): 20%
CA2 (Term3): 30%
SA2 (Term4): 50%

So Term 4 is the most critical \"period\"...hehe.

Having said this, this plan is for 2011 P1 children. Comes 2012, i am not sure if there might be new changes to the system as we now have a new MOE Minister. So you will have to wait for your DS upcoming orientation day to know more about 2012 assessment.

Happy Deepavali Holiday on 26 Oct and then final countdown for SA2...yippy! :imcool:

Hi Astee,


We started "drilling" my DS after we came back from holiday. Guess he still not used to the exam culture and does not understand the need for revising and studying. This is hard especially he has a younger brother who does not need to study for tests and exams yet :-). Guess in P2, we will need to get him use to the routine of revising his studies after school daily.

Hi Rejoice,


I shared your sentiment too, my DS is also thinking of all play and no study for the PSLE marking days. I had to really \"drilled\" the SA2 concept into his mind and body and soul..haha.

Yes, P1 are still in their K2 play mode and it does take times, especially boys, to understand the importance of the SAs.

Yup, we parents, are the ones that are more worried and excited about the whole SA thingy than the kiddos.

Cheers,
Astee

Hahah Astee, very true. We are more worried than them. After sa2 over, we will need to think of holiday plan. Never ends. Haha
