Hi fragaria


I’m staying in blk 6XX too, within 1-2km. MY P1 boy goes to Dedicated sch care 601 & goes to sch with the van transport. You may also check with the sch for the public transport provided as well.
So far I think the homework are ok & manageable for P1.
Rgds.

Hi Fragaria


I stay in blk 50x so I hv no issue with traveling time or transport. My ds’s classmate stays in admiralty. He boards the bus around 10+. Not sure how long is his journey to school though but 10+ is considered early to me. So chk first.

Hi ckhoo5


What do u think of the maths ca1 & sa1? To me the ave mark for the whole cohort is quite low for p1 std. For 1 of the classes, the ave mark is only 50+. What is the ave of yr child’s class?

Hi Steadyberry

My son loves math, so he has no problem coping with P1 math yet.
Where do u see the ave mark is 50+ & which class? I saw my son result slip, the p1 level for math mean was 63.4, std dev is 24.4. Not sure what it really means though.

Hi ckhoo5


My friend showed me the results of her son. His class ave is 50+ and cohort is 60+. think her son is either in 1b or 1d. Whereas another class has 70+ for ave mark if I remember correctly. It is good that yr ds loves maths. Usually those who are strong in maths will get into the top 2 classes.

Hi Steadyberry


Btw which class are the top 2 classes? The streaming is in P3 right?
My ds is in 1H, but for chinese lesson he will go to another class…

Hi ckhoo5


Previously, streaming is in p2 (u will know which class u go to based on yr results at end of p1. Last yr’s p1 (my ds) is the first batch to be streamed in p3 which means I will know whether my ds gets into top 3 classes or not end of this yr. All along in woodgrove pri, e is the best class followed by f & g. Not sure whether this will chg (maybe new principal might chg it).

Last yr p1, there were 2 so called higher cl class (sen kwang). Think this yr there is only 1 class. 1H is the best cl class. If yr ds is in form class 1H but he goes to another class for cl, this means he is not in the cl best class. But not to worry, if he works hard, there is a chance of getting into higher cl nx yr. Streaming to go into E, F or G is based on yr overall scores for all subjects and they will also take maths into consideration. Hope I hv ans yr question.

Hi Steadyberry & ckhoo5,


Thank you for your reply.

May i know whether CCA start in P3? Any idea if the child stay far away from the school, do they need to stay in the school to wait for CCA to start? How do they take their lunch? in school canteen?

Hi Fragaria


This yr’s P2 students were given opportunities (not compulsory) to join selected CCAs. So far this yr, there were auditions/testings for Playhouse, badminton, hip hop, table tennis. If you are selected, yr child will need to go to school early ie. 10am-11.30am. The school will inform you the details if yr child is selected. Yr child will have sufficient time to buy lunch after CCA in the sch canteen or you can let yr child bring own lunch.

Think all students will need to choose a CCA when they are in P3. In this case they
will have to stay back after school.

Hi Steadyberry


Thanks for the info, appreciate it! I just went to the PTM today. Meeting class teacher was fast as there is an allocated slot and timing but waited quite long to see the CL teacher, Ms Tan.
