GEP 2012 - Class Starting P4 in 2013

[adafew]

DS started the family tree project and another project, he also has a CCA that will last a term, CEP school still working on the schedule. Seems quite a bit of homework daily (Focus in Chinese)…

Oh, for the family tree, keep it safe as you are most likely to use it in the first portfolio entry. And for homework, first few weeks just orientation, not much hm.

My ds has been doing a ton of homework!!! Mostly for EL, HCL and Math. We’ve also just completed a first book review from the ERP list.

[adafew]

Aha, do kids need to do book review from the ERP list? My DS completed reading a few books from the ERP list but otherwise just reading based on his own schedule…

[rainowyabby]

Yes, they do, one for each semester

[rainowyabby]

How is the workload? Everything ay okay? Any problems with homework can ask me.

Strange.. It seems that the 9 GE centres are doing different things. I checked with my friends and their kids' (from different centres) work are all somewhat different, except for the major projects. I didn't expect this as they told us the kids will be doing the same things, centralised from the GE Branch. :?

[adafew]

Feeling the same too… maybe those different learning are what differentiate the 9 centres, in terms of stress level as well as expectation.

[rainowyabby]

Yes, it’s about the same, depends on how the school gives the stuff.

Oh, have any of you realised that your children have to do a IRS project for p5? You will find ur child going for this IRS exhibition at end of year… Depends on how good is the project… You might be selected for next year.
