Dear parents 1C,


How does your kid know what to bring during art class? Will you get your kid to bring all art stationeries such as pencil color, oil pastel, art pallete, poster color etc?

Thanks,

Then, I should do the same thing. It'll be very heavy then.

As usual, my DS never mention anything. Let me check w/ him.

Yes, I was about to ask to cos I went through the Ting Xie list and notice this week no Ting Xie. Next one is on 22 Feb.

[botakgundul]

Just check w/ my DS. He told me no tingxie tom.


I can’t read the tingxie list. I don’t know how to read & speak in Chinese. I outsource this part.

But for mother tongue,i remember receiving a circular stating that there r different modules for children who r stronger in MT to go for enrichment modules.for weaker students,they may b singled out to attend foundation modules. So tatz a form of streaming kids on a subject already...

However the class is still kept intact as a whole. They only separate during mother tongue lessons.
The streaming that was mentioned earlier was in the context of streaming all the kids into different classes based on their overall results. because i believe mummy_ning was hoping that her twins can be separated next year based on the assumption that there is some form of banding being done at the end of P1.
In the past for lower pri, (and also presently for the upper pri) the kids are streamed based on their English, Maths & Science (fr Pri 3 onwards) results. So there are students who are very weak in their Chinese but are still found in the top class because they excel in Eng / Math / Sci.

Hi
May I know how you know that students who are very weak in their Chinese still managed to get in the top class? Was it heard from parents whose kids are already in the two top classes? I heard from another parent that her son excel in the other 3 subjects but didn't do well in Chinese hence did not manage to get into the two top classes and he was quite disappointed. Am abit confuse now. Thanks

[/quote]some of them are my kids' classmates.
sori, maybe i should clarify, \"very weak\" are in the band 2 range.
bottomline is the banding is based on EMS. As far as i know, the marks of the kids in the A class are all very close. The difference between the 10th position and the 20th position are just several marks difference. So you have many kids scoring almost the same marks.
