All About GEP

[not parent but student]

hi i am a geper!

usually if you can do the questions withoutthinking much about it, you won’t be able to remeber much. therefore, the question that you can remember is usually the one you face problems with, and tried focusing on that.

i only remembered generally for some questions(that was 3 years ago.)

and i got in.

Clarified with DS on solar cooker. He does not need to do a poster. Only a logbook to track the progress of constructing the solar cooker. Have to take digital photos too! Don't quite understand the entries required in logbook and DS is blur when questioned. Anyone has to do similar? Is this correct? TIA

DS says they have to do the poster. Presentation of poster is 1 of the items in the rubric for this project. DS said that the logbook is to document their findings, learnings etc while doing this project. They also have to take photos to show that they did the project instead of parents completing the project for them. btw, 2 pupils are assigned to work together for this project.

Thank you!!! This blur mom and DS have rechecked the rubrics. Yes they have to prepare the poster and logbook. Sigh, so much for DS to do AND he also needs to prepare for CTs! Just to clarify : Do they need to do a presentation? TIA

Do they need to do a presentation? TIA

DS tells me that they will have to do a presentation on the project. Did you child get the Tic Tac Toe fairy tale assignment for English too?

Sorry to interrupt…I am curious after reading some of the discussion. It seems that GEP parents are very involved in their kids’ assignments, so I wonder if:


A. Are the assignments so tough? or
B. Instructions from teachers not clear? or
C. Parents are just worried that the kids cannot remember to complete everything that has been assigned as it is overwhelming?
D. All of the above
E. Your own answer

Thanks.

Tic Tac Toe Fairy tale assignment for English is due on 20th Apr according to DS. There are 9 tasks for which they have to choose 3 tasks which are consecutive like in the game Tic tac toe. Eg of tasks are lyrics for theme song, recipe, poem etc etc. According to the worksheet, this is anchor activity for GEP P4. I think it is part of term 2 curriculum. Hope this helps.

Solar Cooker is the first year for this Science assignment. Heard last year was a different assignment on cells and membranes? The Tic Tac toe fairy tale english assignment should not be new leh. The worksheet seems to have started since 2007 (footer sstated fairy tales/term2/geo/2007) Maybe your child completed without you knowing?

Hehe... I think for me is all of the above. Maybe it is a boys thing. My DS tends to be quite careless or maybe he does not pay attention in school. Sometimes he will miss certain things from school and we found out as surprise last min from friends or when he gets scolding from teacher.

Plus since I am now SAHM, must make sure he doesn't miss anything major or I will not be able to account my value add for staying home to my hubby.
