Club 2002 Kids

[Laura02]

Dd has English and Chinese oral this Thurs. Written papers in Oct.


Her school will stream the kids this year. I think there will also be subject streaming. I don’t know how it will play out … wheather the kids will have to switch classes for every subject. I’ve heard that some schools implement full subject banding, so the kids move around between periods.

In theory, I agree with Streaming. The kids in the slowest class really need the extra time to understand basic concepts, while the kids in the better classes pick up concepts really fast and can cover the syllabus much faster. For maths, they also do Onsponge during curriculum time.

Hi all


My dd will start her SA 2 on 27/9 to 2/10 same as those taking PSLE… There will be streaming and subject banding too… Cannot wait for the paper to be over. Teacher has been throwing a lot of mock paper for them to do so far so good hope she can maintain her standard for her SA 2

How come my boy still honey moon?

Still little homework.
No mock papers.
Good for me since I can reinforce self revision at home.
Started him on science guide note taking - one week one guide.
I close my eyes looking at the type of notes he churn out. But he spends more time scrutinizing each chapter and I guess making his own notes makes info stick onto his head better, even if those notes need a lot of improvement.

P4 mummies,

What chinese assessment books are you currently using? Will you be buyingthe same for next year?
I am using Victoria last and this year.
Thinking of switching to raffles publication, those with notes in front type.

Hi parents,


new to this thread. have girl in P 5 next year… am surprised to read that some schools don’t hv streaming? tot it applied to all school? mine dd has streaming… and don’t know if she should take higher Chinese IF she do well enough and has an option…

am also looking for tuition for her in English and science. currently she is attending Mindstretcher at Toa payoh. wondering if I should change…ESP. the English as I know they like their science tuition teacher but she hasn’t done that well… grades barely improved too despite doing papers, tuition etc.

Any recommendations for good science or English tuition teachers or schools? ideally Toa payoh. but if really good can consider nearby like bishan, novena Thomson…

what about good assessment books? read in another thread that teachers circle ones are good -but all they good for all subjects? are the marking system focus good or relevant for all subjects?

sorry for the long questions as I just chanced upon this thread after being ‘out of action’ as caring for new baby… thanks!

This series has notes like english explanation and 造句 for the text book words. But there is only one exercise every two topics instead of topical. Thinking if I should switch to this next year, not only for the notes, but also so my boy need not do it weekly and can alternate it with compo practice.

What you using?
