The Alternative Story (TAS) - Discussion

[hquek]

um, my kids not in P6 yet but I understand that they cover both Paper 1 and 2 components, and nowadays plus some oral. Each lesson also 2 hours, but be prepared that kids are usually released late (even for P1).


I think you should call up the school to ask for clearer and more accurate info. calling may be tricky but they should answer your email. Else, you can always hop down to their branches.

How does TAS prepare the pupils for PSLE? Could someone tell me what is covered during the P6 English classes? Paper 1 and 2 together?

They cover paper 1 and paper 2 and towatds the exam period they cover oral as well. They also get those P6 who want extra help to come down for extra classes. Lessons quite intense and really going for preparedness for exams. TAS lessons cover a lot compared to others. What I did in the past was also to get answer keys so I can further help my kids at home. Their answer keys are very detailed.

Hi

Can i chk if any parents have any feedback on their pure creative writing class?
Thanks!

[milomilo]

can anyone share what is ‘key answers’? Do we need to ask from the teachers after every lesson?

For answer keys, for my nephew, I know my sister asks the admin to pass to him so every week, he will get it. You can do the same

Hi,


Can anyone share with me if they have started oral for the students? I overheard some students talking about some model answer for oral but my nephew does not have it yet…wondering if it is for all levels

My DD has started oral but its not one to one. Its a general discussion in class.

Yes they started, for P2, they did on choosing a present for a friend. The children are supposed to choose a present from a range of presents presented and talk about it and why they would want to give that to their friend

actually P1-4 all have the same topic. My P1 was told the same - present for a friend. but I would think there are different expectations/requirements for the different levels.
