TQ

hquek,


Maybe you need to rephrase your query abt compo grade in another manner :evil: :rotflmao:

After hearing replies to other queries, I kinda gave up hope asking marks related questions. To be fair, I didn't even try. As a wise mum told me, what mattered most is what I do with my kid.

Agree. But to add on that teachers are important too.

Hi Cassmania,


My elder child will be in P3 next year, so far i find the teachers r good. My son had the same teachers for P1 and P2. The chinese teacher is really hardworking and attentive to the weaker students. I dont really find my son’s chinese poor, but he was one of the weaker one in his class. When he was in P2, he was selected to go for chinese tuition conducted by his chinese teacher after school. With the additional chinese lessons, he really improved in terms of reading and writing chinese. I really appreciate the extra efforts his chinese teacher put in.

Hi Sahm_Tan,


I didnt know what is Logicmills and did a search for it, and found that it is a learning centre. Did the learning centre teachers come down to Hong Wen and offer lessons to the students? Are they good? What were the fees like?

I think my son need more help in his comprehension and composition. Not too sure how i can help him .... wonder whether i shld let him attend additional lessons outside to brush up his understanding and writing skills. Any mummies have any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Young,


Logicmills is a centre that develops thinking skills. They worked with several primary and secondary schools. I found out that they conducted classes in Hong Wen. There are 2 methods that they work with the schools. They either train the students or they train the teachers who will in turn train the teachers. I do not know which method they used for Hong Wen. I'm not sure abt the fees they charge in schools. But the fees they charge at their centre is $3,200 for 1 year.

I'm curious to find out if Hong Wen still engages their service and if yes, for which level.

The centre conducted a study after working with a number of schools and reported 30% improvement in results.

I do not know which centres to recommend for compre and compo.

For compre, need to understand the passage and extract the answers out. I think most of the time, the student might be weak in inferring skillls. As for compo, need the combination of vocabulary, plot and grammar to craft a good piece of work. Plus, narrative writing is abt showing the story and not just telling the story.

I'm still finding my way for compre and compo.

my girl started her P1. she said good, happy face... and told me she is not the shortest one in the class, she's the 3rd.... but the recess is @ the canteen and the food lined up on the table already... hmmmm... tot it will be in the class...


haha antoher surprise... and she manage to wake up by herself (coz me have start to train her to wake up early but she cldnt make it yah).... hope this will con't.... :xedfingers:

when walked her to the destinated bus stop to wait for the sch bus, told her to remember those gorgor, jiejie faces, she is the only P1 kid.... remember the bus no. when off sch to take bus... think me nag nag too much... she \"told me off\"... \"shh shh, i know\".... hmmmm....

a book list is given to prepare the books to bring to sch.... so the kids will do the work and gotta complete in the class.... no work to be done @ hm is it?

[SAHM_TAN]

Based on last yr’s experience, most of school work will be done in school. If cannot complete in school will be brought home to do. The only exceptions are Show and Tell ( Eng and Chi), spelling and tingxie and tests. These teachers would request parents to guide.

show and tell - girl childcare ctr has this too, for eng and chinese… but me no prepare with her… lazy mummy… tr said she did well lor… articulate well… think is more talkative bah…


okay, gotta remind her to do her work fast so can play @ hm… keke… so no other homework?
