GEP 2011 - Screening & Selection

[drickymummy]

I also did not get mine topic listing yet…haiz…files r in a mess still with no proper instruction on how to set up the files…or maybe it is my Ds who is dreaming in class?


It seems like wat they learned in math so far r not gg to be v much tested while mainstream math topics r tested in CA…correct me if I m wrong… Anyway wat they learned in class so far s wat I would call ‘fun’ math…

[drickymummy]

Mummies, any ideas wat to do with the phot journal? Letter format or booklet? Ds seems to say booklet but it is a journal to convince someone…so letter format opening? Urgh!!! Still trying to finish up that tree project!

DD got the ca1 topic on the second day of sch! We were shocked. But the topics and relevant to what they have been doing. Unless diff GEP sch has diff topics but unlikely cos all papers are set by the GEP branch, right?

Mine just a simple writeup of not more than 200 words plus a few photos, that's all.

Can share the topics ? Don't think DS2 has brought anything on this back home ... :slapshead:

Hi drickymummy
For filing : DS files are still empty. :scratchhead:

For schedules & topics covered : You might want to check out DS's class blog. Each expert class & home class has a blog. The teachers do post some of the info there.

DS1 also in NYPS. I remember seeing a couple of notices (which I had to sign) on assessments & tests. I don't think the GEP classes have any CA. Common tests for English, Science, Maths are in Term 2 & Term 3 & SA in Term 4 (this was mentioned during the P4 GEP MTP session). I remember the HCL teacher flashing up a schedule too, but forgot the details.

Maybe our boys are in the same class? DS's Eng T still on leave..shd be back after this week it seems..but I v worried abt him losing his notes when they are not filed and he brings them to sch daily. He had left his folders on sch a couple of times liao ..... Oops I totally forgot abt the blogs.. :slapshead:

I know eng no CA test but not sure abt the other subjects. Yah..I think HCL got CA test.Cannot remember the MTP liao..I sat at a corner in the front row everytime. ..Next time must sit in the middle block middle row to see clearly !!

Just confirmed with DS1. No CA for HCL, only 'xiao ce yan'. SA in Term 2 & 4.
