Raffles Girls' Primary

[mwchua]

My girl is in P3 this year.


It does seems to be random allocation from P2 to P3. All the classes are mixed ability to a certain extent, although there are some P3 classes with a higher concentration of higher ability students though.

Hi everyone here,


Just had my gal PDF done yesterday. She is assigned to class 1A nxt yr. Any gals gg to that same class? Btw ..don't mind to share..what happen in 1st wk when yr gals go to Sch? Can parents tag along to their DD during that wk, ie see what they do in class?

Parents can only stand outside the canteen to observe the girls during recess during 1st three days of school, cannot go to the class. Not to worry, each P1 girl will have a P2 girl as buddy during recess to help them along. In class, there are parents volunteer to help the teachers with the admin stuff.

great mama:

Can anyone share with me their experience when their child first enter Pri One?

bluemint:

How is the curriculum for P1? Tough , got lots of homwork? need tuition? what do they emphasis for term 1, 2 and thereafter?

this year 2012 P1 practised Creative Writing from P1 Term 4 onwards.
this is the best time to prepare your K2 child to read more composition, once she enter 2013 P1.

during the initial first 3 days, 2013 P1 parents are Not allowed to go near their kids inside the P1 classes. No, parents are Not allowed to hang around outside the classroom, or peep into the P1 class see what their child is doing. On these 3 busy days, there'll be many teachers and assistants around assigned to help out. They had all these well planned out, do not worry too much; your daughter will be well taken care of.

however if you're interested, you may sign up / volunteer to be a Teacher helper, for these few days. As a teacher helper, you can help out in areas like:-

i)
take turn with other teacher helpers to bring the P1 kids to toilet (if needed).

ii)
ensure and check that every exercise book for subjects (English, Maths, Chinese) has the P1 child's name written on it. Check for the whole class.

iii)
basically collect the books from the children, according to list given to the children on what to bring for the first day- activity books, exercise books, yellow file, report card, health booklet, photo...

Not all the children will bring all the books so we have to keep track of which child did not bring what and follow up over the next 2 days.

iv)
also helped the Chinese teachers to paste the 'tingxie' content page (for parents signature)' into the exercise book.

may sound simple -
but these are already enough to keep us occupied busily.

Go for it if you can afford the time.
You can get to take turn to visit your daughter during recess but still outside the barricade.
=====================================================================

for the first week Jan 2013 when school re-open, everybody is new to the school. There is a possiblity that the school bus might fetch yr child back late home, esp. if it rain. Thus pls pack some thing light inside yr child's school bag, for the first week journey back home. If child is hungry, she can munch inside the school bus on her way home.

I think the best advise I can give Parents who wnt to prepare their kids for P1 is to READ, read to her or get her to read herself. (english and chinese if possible) Theres nothing better that can help except read read read.. thats a lot of knowlege and learning without stress.


Btw, my girl does not read much and I notice a great difference compared to one that reads alot . Now that shes done with primary school, she has started reading again, just hope to see her getting addicted to books.

currently, our school is in the midst of planning out new programme & new activities hope to benefit the school, come single session.

if you have ideas currently not implemented in the school but which you think may benefit school, do consider writing in, offer your suggestion(s) or proposal(s).

I also wish my DD reads a lot but it do not really happen. She likes to watch television and computer games. I am also working hard to cultivate the habit of continuous reading. Hope it works in the near future. If she is reading a book means, I told her to do so. Sigh...

DD reads a fair bit. DD & DS was hooked on mindcraft for a while and DD basically stopped reading. I took away their ipods and since they do not have free access to the comps, DD started reading again in her spare time. And since DD is reading, DS left with no one to play with will keep himself occupied with his legos or pick up a book to read as well.

for P4 there are only 2 booklists, 1 for GEP and 1 for all mainstream (E/F and other classes all use same books) but come P5 there are 4 different booklists,


Primary 5
Primary 5 E/F
Primary 5 Foundation
Primary 5 GEP

looks like the REAL streaming is from P4 to P5
