CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh)

[vynx]

Extracted from MOE. The initial plan was as follow:


CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh) Toa Payoh
Upgrading Period: Jan 2011 to Dec 2012
School will temporarily relocate to former Victoria School site at Geylang Bahru Lane.


Think the plan was postponed. Hmm, now temporarily relocate to First Toa Payoh?

Yes, that was the initial plan but many of the parents feedback that the ex Victoria sch site was not ideal and the principal managed to change the location to First TPY Pri. As st nick was occupying e premises, hence the move was postponed to this yr (Oct, 27) after the exam.

Former Victoria is far…it is going to be temporary holding school for SJI junior instead. Right after SA2, the girls will march over to orientate themselves at the temp school in Oct. That was what the clerk told me.

how many top classes are there in CHIJ (TPY) ?

do they fix these class names, or every year change ?

Hi P2 Parents,


Anyone receive the P1 2011 Dance Fest CD yet? Care to share photos or videos for yesterday P2 Dance Fest performance. Thanks.

Any P4 parent here - DD is currently in an after sch care centre, but am wondering if it’s still worth going there next yr when she’s in P4 when CCAs and enrichmt classes all start. Any opinions/sharing is v much appreciated!

My P4 gal is taking PSLE in 2 years' time and when I read that Science and Maths are killer for this year PSLE, I can;t help feeling kan cheong

As it is, my P4 gal is rather weak in Science (Borderline) and slow in Maths (She can do the Maths paper if given longer time)..and when I look at the school's prior year record for both subjects..I have no confidence of her doing well in PSLE..


For Maths, from 2008 till 2011, only 54% (average) of the cohort got quality passes (A & A*)

For Science, from 2008 till 2011, only 60% (average) of the cohort got quality passes (A & A*)

I think the school shd really look into this and reassess their teaching techniques.. I am not sure if the teachers are teaching the right answering technique. My P3 gal does not have Science tuition and I do not coach her. For the past few days, when I was going through with her on Science Assessment books, she told me she knew the answer but did not know how to express correctly to get the marks. :faint:
Is she the only one in class facing the same situation?

Hi bebe,
My son just completed PSLE yesterday.
Younger one is only in P2, so I have no idea how teachers teach Science...all I know is that she will be affected by the new English syllabus.

Son did not have any Science tuition from P3-P5. He didn't fail but didn't excel either...always stuck in the 60 mark range. Every year during PTMs, teachers who teaching Science always say the same thing, 'keyword'. :slapshead: I am apologetic for ranting, but I feel that something should be done. Science is not just about keyword. It's MORE than that.
Section A is MCQ 60%. Section B open-ended 40%.

A question on evaporation and how water droplets are formed carries 2 marks. Try writing 'keyword' to get that 2 marks...the student will be given a ZERO.
