No assessment for class allocation for P1 and P2. But for MT there will be class allocation base on ability in term 3.

Thanks, SAHM@KIDS, so you mean there will be allocation base on MT in P1 term 3?

Hi lakesidemum,


I think my previous post a little confusing. There will be assessment tests for each term but no change in class allocation for P1 and P2.

For MT, the first 2 terms they combine by class eg. Class A join with class D and class I. Starting for term 3, MT classes go by ability - Enrichment module for higher ability, Core module for normal ability and Bridging module for lower abilty.

Hi SAHM2KIDS,

Oh I see, thank you so much for the clarifications.

You are welcome

Hi parents of P1 kids, how are your DS/DD faring in school?


I was pretty impressed by how my DS form teacher handled the class. She was firm with the kids, and when I asked my boy if she is fierce with the class, he told me not at all. She is caring and nice to the kids. Hence, I am relieved that my DS is in good hands.

Hi lakesidemum,


Glad to hear your DS had a good start.

Hi SAHM2KIDS,


May I ask if P1 kids can join any CCA? My boy is keen in Robotics, must he wait till P3?

Thanks.

Last year P1 kids can join Malay dance, Chinese dance or band only. Not sure this year will be the same or not. You may check with the form teacher.

I see. Will the school be sending us any letter to inform us on this? What CCAs and when are the start dates?

Also, if my DS joins the band, is he required to stay thru till P6? He wants to join the Robotics Club in P3.

Btw, which level is your child in? Really appreciate on all your advice.

Thinking of the joining the PSG, any comments?

[SAHM2KIDS]

Teacher will give out a form together with the time table for those who interested. My DD joined the Chinese dance last year but she quit after a few lesson so I think is not \"a must\" to stay thru till P6. My DD is P2 this year.


As for PSG, I will join if I got time. My DS is K1 now, maybe wait until he is P1.

I really hope more parents of JWPS would join this forum so that we can share and learn more about the school and most importantly we can help our kids.
