All About GEP

Bay:
What is oral history project?stress out by the projects - the oral history and photo journal in P4. To do a relatively good piece of work, these projects require some level of reseach - which is taking too much of his time. I wonder if we are on the right track or are we doing too much for a P4 level?
So far only aware of 2 projects. One on family tree, the other is photo journal.
Photo journal only spend 30 minutes. Done!
Gosh, maybe my dd didn't spend sufficient time researching :nailbite: -
My DS is currently in P6. His schedule is really hectic due to SYF and not GE program. So, for kids not involve in SYF or other activities, should be more relax. Mar school holiday all taken up by SYF & study camp. On top of SYF, my DS will be taking 2 music exams this year too. He has not much free time to play now. After SYF & MOS competition, he should have more free time.[/quote]
May I know what is SYF? -
To date, P6 workload is manageable for my dd.
She has submitted the bio thingy, ss write up, oral presentation and maths aa.
Currently she is doing her erp.
I think there is another 1 or 2 project for eng and another write up for ss to be complete before they can zoom into preparation for psle. -

SYF is Singapore Youth Festival, my dd is also very busy with SYF training.
May I know what is SYF?
She is having her common test soon but training and rehearsal is still on going. -
Somehow I find P6 so stressful for my dd. A lot of write-ups to do and the teacher has been very 'on' abt English compo too. Have written at least 4 since the start of the year. She still has Maths aa to complete and ss reflection to write.
The drafts for the Biography, ss artefact and write-up, oral presentation and ERP are done. Waiting for the teachers' feedback. And these two weeks are CA1! Somehow, I feel that they are just rushing through the different projects and get them completed before mid-year.
And she's preparing for violin practical exam in Aug and swimming competition next month and in July! :stompfeet: Haven't really sat down to think about PSLE yet. I agree with Flowermonaster that without all these CCAs, the workload should be manageable. -
Wow, yr dd has written 4 compo, i think my dd has not written any compo yet!

Herbie:
Yes same here. My DS has no time to do any revision due to this SYF Thingy. Luckily the teachers had given them past years test paper to practice. A few of his classmates drop their CCA so that they dont have to participate in SYF so they got more time to revise for exam.

Hey, don't really have much time to read-through/quote posts, school work's kinda busy. But I just wanna say that in P4 I spent 2 whole weekends plus a few late nights doing the Family Tree. That was the first project, and I had NEVER done a project/write-up before. But slowly I got used to it. It gets better. Shorter time spent, better grades. Right now in Sec 1 RGS, I'm spending something like 2hours and I'm done with the final submission, for some projects. We really get a lot of project practice in GEP, and practice makes perfect. In no way does that statement imply that practice is easy or enjoyable. But it does say that things will get better, and you'll reap the benefits/rewards(: I would actually be very surprised if any P4 kid manages to cruise through and do the projects efficiently and well, not needing the practice and adjustment period I did. Some do adjust faster, some slower, and I'm one of the slower ones, but things even out in the end. And it's always tough. But hang in there, things will get better
