P1 workload

[winth]

Hi jedamum,


Can share what sort of spelling words your child has?

I think correct word is maximise use of teachers, so much so that teachers complain a lot of time used for unproductive work or admin stuff.

jumped
screamed
paddled
said

etc...

I think unless the teacher sound out the past tense intentionally (eg '-ed'), my boy will just write the words in present tense...like when I tested him just now (before he see the list).

Hi


Last year, when I was browsing through this site, I came across some info regarding a test conducted by MOE (surprise test for P1 kids). But I could not find the correct link/thread now. Anyone of you can help me on this issue?

Or can you share the info regarding this test (probably in Feb?)? What kind of questions oe what topics will be asked? Does it include mother tongue as well?

Thanks in advance!

The MOE test is meant to be a surprise test so there is nothing to prepare. The purpose of the test is not even clearly articulated to the children so it is meant to be something confidentially done without parents' knowledge. However, most of our kids can regurgitate quite well. :lol:

All the instructions in those papers are given in the English language, that is as much as I can say.

If there are other tests that your child is doing in the school, i.e. not the MOE one, it is meant to see if the school needs to render additional help for those not prepared for P1, again no concern as the school is trying to help. For such tests they also do not inform the parents in our case.
