Primary ONE English Assignment

Then, maybe, the article could be a simple write-up where the kid just need to demonstrate the presentation skills instead of having to produce the article themselves?

like I said, if the kid produced a blank page, how to even conduct the S&T?

In my DD's school, they are not required to produce any written work for show and tell. So if the child made a mistake in his/her speech, the teacher also wouldn't know...

Yup same here too. During the graded S&T, DD1 told me her classmate needed to do again. Her classmate was asked by the tr to practise again at home and do it again. I thought nice of teacher to want to be able to pass all the students in her class

You're welcome, SAHM_TAN.. yes, some BASCs offer pick-a-sport... some are within sports recreation centres... some are in-house (within school premises)... some are privately run but within walking distance to sports centres/halls.

This initiative is aimed at allowing students of BASC to be coached professionally in a sport they like or which they are good at. The sport is carried out after homework and tutoring/studying periods are done. The sport chosen can be similar to CCAs undertaken by the children so as to further hone the skills which can indirectly be good if children are aiming at trying out for DSA. There are centres that also offer music lessons like piano or violin as well. This, of course cannot be uniform across all BASCs as the fees charged are different and they of course are required to have the necessary manpower to run these in-ctr programmes.

In-house (school BASCs) by and large provide lunch... either catered from outside vendor or catered by the canteen vendors themselves. If not offered, children will simply eat at the school canteen before proceeding to the BASC.

The teachers supervise homework in accorded teacher:student ratio.. in separate groups of Eng/Math/Sci/MT and the students rotate classes or at times with smaller group, every subject can be done together as well.

Some childcare centres offer BASC for our primary students if space permits and manpower requirements met, so that siblings (1 in childcare + 1 in pri sch) can be placed together.

To date, feedback from cousin and a couple of friends... the in-house (in school) BASCs are offered at a lower fee as compared to the ones privately run outside.

Thank you, buds. This is impressive.

Now, during our time, how come we didn't have such options. Not fair! :stompfeet:

Hi Imami,


Just curious hor, you sent your kid to enrichment prog since 2 yrs ago, so I think it when your child was 2?

I'm curious if you starting the prog at 2 why do you seem displeased that the academics demand from the childcare is advanced? Or is it becos the enrichment progs are not academic in nature?

My ds coming to 5 this yr, he refuses to be 5 till he's officially 5, had also started addition and subtraction with 2 digits up to 50 without borrowing for subtraction but for addition he was learning about addition with changing. These were done since term 1 of K1.

Erm... my child in K1 this year only learning number bonds within 10...

I remember seeing two-digit addition like in 2H of K2 for my older DD.

Thank you busy mom.

The current fashion in KSP is if one do not empathize with the \"pain\" of others, then one one is an elitist , who deserves to be bashed , right?

I see, so same meaning as \"field trip\", I suppose?

On your second point, I think so too.

No. But it would be better if members focus on the merit/demerit of the argument and respond accordingly, rather then dismissing other's comment/contribution and sharing as \"rubbish\" or something to that effect, w/o justification.

Agree . The basic courtesy is MIA now a days. I hope I have not been a part of that .If I have then I sincerely apologize. There is no excuse.

This is in general, not specific to your post but to ksp posts that I have read in the recent times.

As a parent I certainly empathize with the the pain other parents feel. I firmly believe that there are no right or wrong feelings. One feels. Period.

Feelings are very strong, and the problem is when one is hurt it, becomes difficult to be objective. A solution to our problem becomes essential, but the wisdom to think long term , taken in different perspectives diminishes and solutions often begin to be too one sided. Even an experienced expert doctor is not advised to do surgery on his own child.

It is ok to put down your problems and ponder to solutions, trends. We are hear to share our experiences, view and understand what others prespectives. But to make sweeping statements with very little datapoints, again and again. is gets a little irritating.

And it is equally irritating to hear rude words, as you state below. I do not support that either.

limlim:

It was bcoz maybe some elites bashed the under privileged for spreading rumors or something like that, that draw comments like \"you cannot under the pain etc..\".

If we keep to subject matter and discuss

Such thing may not have happened.

Perhaps we can try now.[/quote] :goodpost:

He did the single digit addition in K1 too, then progress from there.

sometimes, it does get a little confusing with all these new age sounding names - when actually it means the same thing. think our time, it was called excursion?

actually, even the word \"tapestry\" is such a big word for an adult, much less to a 7yo kid. think if such a word was presented to my mom years back, she'll probably say, \"simi pastry?\" :rotflmao:

But I must say that the template is good to have. It's serves as a visual organiser to guide students what to do and how to go about it - whether for written or oral work.
