GEP - General Syllabus Discussion

[Mcspicymomma]

I am a ftwm and newly single. Youngest is in p4 GEP. Very thankful that he is very happy in the new environment and is coping well. Have withdrawn from SC when he started GEP as there are 4 out of 5 days that he finishes lessons at 3, so he takes the school bus home and lets himself into the house, and the one day that he goes home for lunch, I will prepare a thermos box lunch for him. He does not have much homework and spends most of his time on the computer. He doesn't have any tuition or enrichment programme. So far we have not helped him with his projects, just to prepare the materials he require to make the posters. I can see that he is flourishing with the mental challenges from school and he has also found his interest in mathematics. Do not intend to send him for tuition so that he has no choice but to work the problems out. Think I have blessed so far... :xedfingers:

Hi, my DS is in P4 GEP. Am glad to find this thread. :thankyou: I'm definitely guilty of helping him with his projects but I'm glad I had the chance to do so He still needs a lot of help in terms of content and presentation and I find it less stressful if I help him instead of letting him do it all by himself. Gradually, I'm hoping that he will learn the ropes and slowly wean off my help. :xedfingers: I realized that the mock papers given are not of recent years, some as far back as 2000! Is this common?

Do your kids enjoy GEP ? Well, so far, my DD enjoys. However, she doesn’t enjoy doing project for a simple reason - DATELINE. She feels that she is pressed for time to do a submission. Time management again.


The other day, DD mentioned abt her 5 mths in her new school - Her classmates - blur but bright ones hor, trs who are dedicated ( esp Math tr who even goes to the extent to offer supplementary classes for this exam revision ). Of course, the lacking ones are those trs who sweepingly brush thru the subjects and not willing to extend helping hands when asked for explanations to why and how.

For mock pps, DD’s sch did not specific the yr of exam. Normally, sch will give out 2 pp for each subject. More concerned w Sci for this Thurs cos it is challenging to answer to the specific Sci term. Got a check with some parents and found out that RGPS and NY gives one Sci mock pp for revision whereas ACS has two mock pps.

The year of the three Math mock papers (2000, 2004 and 2011) given to my DS was indicated on the cover page but not the other subjects. For English, i think there were two sets and for science & SS, only one set.

Any known results for Science yet? FT admitted it is a tough pp, but has not revealed any result yet. Other schools hv the same feelings? Keeping fingers crossed …
