Not familiar with p1 but my child just got her report book and I want to find out what percentage is considered okay or normal? Must it be between 90% to 95%

? I wish to find out so that I can work on her improvement during school holidays

85 & above is band 1, which is consider good. There are some kids in my girl's class failed 2 subjects.

This is the bands in case you are not aware:

Band 1: 85 to 100

Band 2: 70 - 84

Band 3: 50 to 69

Band 4: 0 to 49 (means failed)

There is a regression in my girl's 2nd term result as compared to 1st term. The paper seems to be quite difficult for a P1 student as per my view. Lots of careless mistakes made. According to my girl, no time to chk thru the paper especially

Math. Their textbk n file were kept in school and hence difficult to do revision prior to the tests. I don't think currently P1 n 2 are having any honeymoon period.

My girl is also in P1. The standard is higher comparing with other schools in Sengkang. Chinese standard is alright, but my girl is very weak in hanyu pinyin so she did not do well. English paper standard is quite high, cloze passage without helping words & term 2 already expected to write compo. Maths paper's standard is also quite high, some kids do not understand the problem sum questions.

Overall, the school's standard goes up. When my P6 was in P1, the standard was not so high. The files were given back by teachers for revision before the mastery tests. The kids are not suppose to leave their textbooks in school. You can check with your girl's teachers. Btw, she is from which class?

Definitely had a shock in terms of workload n Chinese compo n its oral requirements at p3.

In fact, I had feedback to Chinese tr on the huge gap of making really simple sentences in 2nd semester of p2 to writing flowery compo based on 4 pictures ( sometimes last 1 is blank!) or a required sentence, weekly zhouji from 1st term of p3. Ds was so ill equiped that he could spend the entire Sat on it. Ended up needed lots of our help n ate into family time.
Guess bcos his was the 1st batch of rubic assessment? Perhaps sch is fine-tuning. P1 & 2 now?
Rr SA preparation, his science tr distributed answer keys on the day b4 exam 4 parents to mark n suoervise the corrections

The school introduces quite a number of new things this year. My boy is taking his PSLE this year & it is very crucial year. There are new stuffs like zhouji, changeling, creative writing etc. He is not required to write a lot for zhouji. Just a page or slightly shorter is alright. The teacher will not pick on his mistake & no correction is needed. P2 to P3 is a big jump, the standard is higher & there will be Science. However, P3 Science result will not be included in SA1 & SA2. Do expect another big jump from P4 to P5 too.

DS was having fever on/off for the past few weeks. After 1-2 days he went back to school after fever subsided, he will complained to teacher that he was having fever again. Each time, he was tested at the General Office for having fever.


I suspected it is the aircon room which spread the virus around..but again, it was my suspicious. I feed him more vitamins now to increase his own immunity. Was surprised to read similar cases as him.

A lot of kids were sick this month. There were a number of hand foot mouth diseaes cases from P4 & P6 classes. In fact, the school had sent more than 10 kids from a P6 class home due to fever. The kids have to take their own temperature on the last 2 weeks of term 2. My boy alo had fever on/off for the past few weeks too. He was having fever when he sat for his Maths & Science SA1 papers.

Hi Vevey,


She complained feeling sick after eating the maggi noodle and prata. There is one particular time she vomitted in school. She was holding a plastic bag when i reached school. From this incident, she kept calling from school claiming discomfort after recess and whenever i asked her to buy food from school. Now, I'm trying to pack food for her everyday and hence no excuse from her of complaining sick after eating the food.

I hv sent an email to her FT after I found out that there is a regression in her 2nd term result and also numerous careless mistakes made in her worksheet. She fared well in her 1st term result. Her FT claimed that she is no longer feeling enthusiastic about her study and less participation.

Not sure whether it's due to the teacher as she denied the teacher scolding her. She has lots of friends, some even from her preschool. No particular reason from her. Will continue to monitor her and that she is okay after holiday. :xedfingers:

Sinc he has a lots of friends. Any of them in the same class as her? Maybe you could find out from her friends or ask her when she is in a happy mood. Btw, she is in which class?

Although my girl's 2nd term was not as gd as her 1st term but I'm still glad for her achievement even though the total percentage is slightly below 90%. I didn't prepare her for 2nd term mastery n performance tests. However, I told my girl that we shall work hard together in her next term - mastery n performance tests.


Recently they hv a written compo - my pet for weekend homework. My girl insisted that she wanted to do it by herself. She was very delighted that she scored almost full mark for this time round. My girl told me that her FT who is also her Eng Teacher asked the whole class to raise their hand if the compo writting was done in the help of their parents. For those who was done with the help of their parents was given an average mark - slightly above 5. For the show n tell in the 3rd term, may i ask will the teacher be giving the average score for those who is done by the parents in the term of the script n material? If yes, then it might be quite difficult for a lower Pri to do it by themselves.

Wow.. Getting 85 & above is a band 1, which is consider good. Not forgetting that she did it without your help. Very independent & intelligent girl. :rahrah:

85 & above is band 1, which is consider good. There are kids in my girl's class failed 2 of the subjects.

my girl got band 2 for her chinese and i nearly fainted. For english just manage to hit band 1 but definitely need to work on these 2. June is a good time to revise and work on her weak areas. Have emailed her FT to ask her where is her weak areas for English as in whether in show and tell or daily work but no reply from teacher leh. I told my girl that she needs to do an hour of revision each for both english and Chinese to brush up her work. As she got full marks for her maths, i told her just need to do an hour every 3 days for her maths revision. I feel no matter how good they are good, still need to practice cos in in chinese saying 不进则退

Wow your girl is good a nd she doesnot need your help for the show and tell. My girl will write herself which can last for 1 minute and i have to help her to lengthen and let her memorise. Chinese show and tell, she totally cant do herself cos the way she write, all out of logic and i have to do correction in getting sequence and rewrite everything for her. Guess i will have to train her getting to write herself. Still thinking whether to send fo chinese enrichments for Chinese creative writing cos i think will help her both her chinese compo and show and tell script

My girl is also in P1. The standard is higher comparing with other schools in Sengkang. Chinese standard is alright, but my girl is very weak in hanyu pinyin so she did not do well. English paper standard is quite high, cloze passage without helping words & term 2 already expected to write compo. Maths paper i also quite high, some kids do not understand the problem sum questions.

Overall, the school's standard goes up. When my P6 was in P1, the standard was not so high. The files were given back by teachers for revision before the mastery tests.

Agreed. I hv sent m girl to Chinese enrichment when she was 4 yo as I am not gd in Chinese n HYPY. She has no problem of Chinese but need to brush up a bit on her reading.

For English n Math, agreed that it is a bit difficult for P1 especially they are not taught in their preschool (not sure abt the rest but mine totally not). My girl's preschool still taught them to write ABC in the 1st half of K2 and for math, simple counting :slapshead: :stompfeet: :faint: . That why I enrolled her in CMA when she was in end of K1 n also class that prepare her for P1 when she was in midst of K2 but insufficient for her to learn in such a short period. I tot the standard for P1 especially Eng n math or even Chinese are not that difficult when I referred to my niece n nephew Textbk n test papers when they were P1. Y r right to say that Nan Chiau standard is higher than those \"neighborhood\" schools which I think it might be gd in term of preparing the kids better when they r in P6 which their standard I heard r even higher than PSLE. This could be their reason of obtaining 100% passing rate.
