Hi Everyone!

My daughter will be joining CCPS next year for P1. I am pretty excited about it. What is primary school's life like these days? I just hope she'll not be too stressed and remains a happy child as she is now

Bumblebeez,

1st half of the year is quite ok. The school wants the kids to love learning so not much homework. There will be alot of reading practises to bring home so ur kid will read to you and u will rate your kid accordingly.

For Chinese students, after mid year the school will start to separate the students into Higher Chinese class and those taking the normal chinese. After June holiday the gers that perform better in CL will go for the higher CL lesson.

After June holiday, there is a sudden increase of work for P1 gers. There are lot of English writing like mini composition for ther gers. My ger is to write 80 - 100 words for each English Writing paper.

There will be EL and CL/ML/TL Oral in Aug and tropical tests for Math.

Althought the school can take a more technology approach by giving out notices to parents or post important date and event on their school website but I guess they still wants the gers to be a responsible person.

The gers still write down impt dates and task they required to take note and do in their blue notebook. So parents rbr to check the gers notebook everyday.

Anyone has the list of textbooks for P1?

Any mum any idea roughly how much do we need to bring along that day (Orientation) for the books, uniforms etc? I don’t think nets/cards are accepted, do they?


Thanks!

[J2mum]

Lydia.tjm,


I suggest you bring along $400 for the books, uniform.Yes, no net. Dun be late for the orientation. There may be a Giro form to fill up. U can take note down which bank acct u want the school fee to be deducted from.

Psmissyou,
sorry I dun think I kept my booklist.

My ger will be the MC on the orientation day.
