Thought we should just let them bring the necessary workbooks to leave with the teachers on the first day?

Does the school still do that for P3s? I thought the teachers keep the books only for the lower primary?

The teacher still kept the books or the books are kept in the cupboard/shelf. -
[quote]Since Pri 2, I have stopped going to the bookstore to buy the books, only go there to get exercise books and uniforms.
I heard that they run out of small size shorts and din noe when the uniform is in.
I recalled 2 yrs ago, I queued for my kid when sch reopened to buy a book that was not avail in Popular nor the sch bookstore (during the textbook buying period in Dec)...queued for quite a while and was told no stock. I nearly killed the auntie :mad: In my heart, I was tinking why they cant list those unavail items upfront so that we dun need to queue. A classmate of my kid queue in front of me and wasted her time meant for reccess.
I still need one more Literature book...not on sale in Popular and the school bookstore said stock will only be in in Jan 12. I hope the school will help to take order from the kids and order for them so that the kids need not go to the bookstore regularly to check.
As for meet the parents sessions, I support the previous way...i liked the twice a year sessions. Hope, the principal is bringing this back next year.[/quote]Maybe should do away all the textbook & every student can use an ipad2 for their materials. Just bring a very small bag where around max 2kg . :rahrah:
The school is a leader in IT, so maybe the whoile school can all link up with wireless internet. :boogie: -

Hi QMS
No textbook for my kid this year.
But the school required the Pri 3 to get a Grammar Assessment book (tink it is by Learners..cant recall the publisher) & Zoom in Vocab (by CASCO).
His class managed to finish everything on these 2 books. On top of that, they had worksheets prepared by the teachers. The teacher also test them on some of the words/ sentences found in the Zoom in Vocab for their weekly spelling. Nearer to year end, I saw stack of worksheets on just practising on cloze passage (without helping words) and comprehensions and oso past year papers.
Weekly spelling is tougher compared to Pri 1 and 2. No longer just words, they were tested on phrases. And his class has to remember a few phrases a week, similar to dictation. Surprise spelling ie words not in the spelling booklet was given weekly too. The surprise spelling words can be from anywhere..eg science or maths etc...Felt this way is pretty good cos sub consciously, he learnt some of the science words..and by remembering the phrases, he can use that in his compo writing.
Conclusion: I like his teacher's style, hopefully, he has one that is as good next year.
Seem like in P3 the kids have to be very independent & honeymod period for them is all over. :yikes: -
Happy New Year to all! My DS is in P6 next year and so I am excited and apprehensive all at once. Hopefully it will be a fruitful year for him and all other Radin Mas-ians

I still can’t comprehend the STELLAR method of teaching for English. CASCO Zoom n Vocab was also used for P5 last year and spelling was tested based on it. Other than that, I do not see much being tested in the SA papers. Most of the time, kids are made to do worksheets and past years’ papers. I feel there is insufficient practice on Compo writing. Also couldn’t comprehend why the school does not return Paper 1 to the kids so they can reflect on their mistakes. I was told it is a ruling by school and teachers are also not allowed to tell you how the child had scored in Paper 1 during exam.
Some teachers do not collect workbooks from P3. Imagine carrying the CASCO Vocab, Conqueror Maths to school daily. -

For a start, why don't you sponsor an iPad2 each for all parents of RMPS in KSP.com here? :evil:Maybe should do away all the textbook & every student can use an ipad2 for their materials. Just bring a very small bag where around max 2kg . :rahrah:

Why not order from http://www.pacificbookstores.com/ , then collect in bookshop?
Since Pri 2, I have stopped going to the bookstore to buy the books, only go there to get exercise books and uniforms.titank:
How is the situation of the bookshop compare with last year
? Heard there are some books or materials no stock in Popular & many parents went to quene.
Did the vendor place any notice to inform what books or items there is no stock? Wait quene until then discover this & that don't have where sure :mad: :mad:
