Hahaha !!! I asked my DS: \"So you all just keep jumping? \" Then he rolled his eyes! :rotflmao:My DS told me they are having \"Jump Jam\" on Thursdays.. somekind of Jumping Exercise??!... :scratchhead:
Anyway, jokes aside, I kinda agree that this years comms need to be improved... :frustrated: -
Oh, no wonder i hear my kid telling me got jump jam, didn’t know it was extra exercising.
Here I am abit confuse with the maths subtraction method taught, the textbook shows the normal method which we used to learn last time, but now they are taught different way to do. I mean for the subtraction sums when we need to do ‘borrowing’, we usually cancel the number on the left and add a small ‘1’ on the right number. But now they cannot add a small ‘1’, they need to cancel the number and rewrite as 15 or 16. My kids got to redo all the sums in the activity book and with ‘see me’ from the teacher. No choice but to re-practise all over with my kid…
Just confuse on why textbook method cannot be use ? -

I refrain from teaching my P1 kid too many Maths theory now... In case the school teach differently now.
I think must be \"on the ball\" to reinforce what was taught in sch.

Yes P2, can forget about advance teaching the kids since even the textbook method is not being used... -

I think it is good to open to different methods. Eg. Some children cannot visualize the \"make ten\" and \"split ten and ones\". My daughter can only do the normal addition/substraction (they called it inchworm) . I try to teach the so called grasshopper method :), but she cannot get it and often cannot fill in the blanks after the \"split of numbers\". -

My girl who was P1 last year had MAs too... so i think it's for everybody....Yes I remember last year they gave a topics to be tested. Hopefully they will give this year too... Chinese AA is next week...any1 knows whether there is English AA this term or next term?
I also find it funny that only p2 and p6 have term 1 ma and ca. seems like the rest of the standards do not have. -

Actually I have never been impressed with PCPS's way of communication with parents... I think it is very very lag compared to many other schools... This year, it is worst!I think generally the communication process has deteriorated quite a lot at PCPS.
For e.g. last year, the MA dates and topics to be tested were provided way in advance when my girl in P1...spelling and tingxie dates were also spelt out clearly to facilitate revision.
The upcoming MA is beginning 27 Feb but we have yet to be informed of the scope/ topics! for my girl's tingxie, there is no date provided now so we are not sure when to revise, ask her also dunno/unsure...suddenly now every thursday is \"exercise day\"...must wear PE attire (in addition to PE lessons on tue and fri), for this also no PN...all these sounds trivial maybe but I can't help comparing against last year...New principal = new processes??? They need to improve la.
However, this year the communication between my girl's FT and parents is very very very good!! She writes 2 times a week to update us on what has been going on in class and some other relevant school info. Never heard anything from the Chinese Teacher/ Music/Art/PE teachers though.... -
