Hi, my ds is in P2. Does anyone have any idea will there be a PTC before school closes? Is it true for P3 classes, the boys will be streamed according to their academic results? :scared:

Hi hugeclaw,


Every year the school holds PTC after the SAs but there's no news this year :? There's no streaming in P3, all of mixed ability. Streaming only from P5 onwards.

i m glad streaming is p5, ie based on p4. usu schs stream after p2 but i guess the sch knows boys mature slower. if my boy goes to a mixed sch, he prob will lose to the girls given his immaturity now. even my nursery girl is more matured in thinkg hee.

:yikes: I totally forgot about the name-tags, since it's different colour for P2 liao. Any of you prepare for P2 already? How about the books? Will the school give us a list?

I don't think you need to change the color of the name tag in P2. It should remain the same throughout the 6 years. So next year P2 should remain as green. P3 in 2013 would be green as well. The color corresponds to the year your DS enter the school.

I am also wondering when would the boys get the booklist.

Getting the books doesn't mean we are going to start teaching him. If I start teaching him now, my DS will definitely :siam: and :stupid: But it's good to start during the holidays so that he can be well prepared when the school start next year.

Thanks! I have also just checked with ds's form teacher. They will change class for the purpose of interaction and to have more friends. No mention of PTC at all, strange. Anyone's ds in P2? I've some doubts about the given answers of the Maths paper and currently waiting for clarifications with the teacher.
