Hi ngbrdad

Since your son has been in P4 GEP in NHPS, could you please share with me the workload in this school?..Do I still need to buy him assessment books or past year question paper for him to practice..If yes, pls advice the type of assessment books and the publishers.

For HCL just get the usual HCL assessment books.
For the rest unfortunately there are no ready assessment books or past year papers.
At least for science you can follow the syallabus, as for math just let your child practice on P5 and P6 questions.

Hi ngbrdad,

Are the worksheets uniquely prepared by the school teachers and only exam papers are commonly run by MOE?

Are you saying the P4 GEP maths takes P5 & P6 mainstream topics? Do we need to buy P5/6 mainstream text books? Are the CA SA format same as P5/6 mainstream?

What about English ? Is the standard equivalent to P5 or P6 and the CA and SA format same as that of mainstream?

Tks.

Hi Zann


Your kid will experience a sudden change of pace in the school curriculum in P4 GEP, so perhaps u shd let him have a phase-in period to get accustomed to the new school, new friends & new format before piling him with more assessment paper.

Thanks Full.Cream. Actually I am thinking more of what I need to buy from popular while they still have 20% discount. People told me P4 materials need not buy anymore, so I just want to be sure before I buy.

I have dropped by to RGPS… they said that they will send out a "GEP package" to the GEP parents soon.


So info may not be posted online but will be sent to us by post.

Cheers!

Don't think CHS will send out anymore package as most of the GEP info already posted on the websites.

Mine didn't work on any academic stuff during p4/5 yearend hols. Checkout his experience here, if you haven't. Have added 2 paras on assessment books/mainstream syllabus.
