Btw, what's this thing called STAR? DS told me yesterday that he was picked to do some STAR stuff but declined. Got marks or not. If got, then I'll have to do some bribing.

Sorry it's not STAR (what's STAR anyway?) It's Show and Tell during assembly whatever that is. Anyway ds not interested. :roll:

FYI. All briefings slides for P1 and P3 will be posted in the child's lead account.

I thought the one for how to raise a happy child by the school counsellor was interesting.

I went to http://www.lead.com.sg but couldn't find it. Maybe it's not up yet.

I believe it's the programme \"I am a STAR\" organised by the EL department for P1s and P2s. They would fill up an application form and the teachers will schedule them. During my dd's time, they were supposed to present a story-telling item or a show-and-tell during recess. It's good to build up their confidence and prepares them for oral Show-and-tell in P2.

Many of my dd's classmates participated in this for the past two years. She did too.

As mine was transfered to PH only in Jun P2, all her CA1/SA1 in ex school were totally disregarded, the 100% SA2 was seriously no joke.

If there is no CA1 or SA1 in P2, then parents will FAINT if the kids are banded based on PURELY SA2 results...I would too.

Well, I rather faint once per year than thrice. Though I rather not have any chance to faint at all; if only they take away P2 SA2 too. [/quote]The ONE good thing I learnt from registering son in this school is to be resilient. However, the academic driven mindset can be hard esp in upper primary.
It's tough to face CA1, SA1 and SA2

Thanks E3. After your explanation, it's clearer to me now. According to ds, FT asked him before but he wasn't keen. DS is suspectible to stage fright. If only there's a piano on stage, I'm sure he'll be one of the first to volunteer, haha!

You can let him choose a short story or his favourite story. Memorise it and practice at home. Encourage him. It's a good opportunity for him to build up his skills cos he won't be the ONLY one presenting. He can also see how his classmates do it. Usually, if his friends are doing the same thing too, it's not so intimidating.

Last year, there was a \"Pei Hwa Got Talent\" show. Your ds can play the piano then. He can be in the limelight! They need to go thru audition though. My dd didn't participate in this cos we think she has enough of it with her piano teacher's concerts.

It's ok even if it's not done desirably, the whole idea is to overcome his fear. Since P1 does not have exams, just make use of all these events to spice up his P1 life...hehe...

P1 parents,


I saw my P1 ds wrote in his notebook \"show & tell\" in chinese (cannot remember the exact words used). Are they doing it in CL this year? Or both languages?
:?

Is it part of the weekly 'tests'? it's for this week and next I think, in the slip of paper pasted in the communication book. They are supposed to describe their bag/pencil case/stationary... it's for chinese, and the teacher gave examples of questions parents can ask to help them formulate their show and tell. Supposed to speak about 5 - 8 sentences I think, can't remember exact words, must check the book again.
