Hi, anyone with kid in 1G
Hi snowbee88, my DD is in 1G too -
Hello any kind soul mummies can assist to help me collect PV form for my child born 2008?
I can meet up lakeside mrt during weekday (morning) or (evening) after work as need to fetch my girl from childcare -
cadencemummy, it might be better if you can go down personally to collect the form (perhaps a Saturday morning?). If I recall correctly and things has not changed, you'll need to put in you and your husband's names, IC number, tel # etc. just to pick up the form. Each form is marked with a number that correspond to the names provided.

Hi all!
I'm from the batch of 2012. I was in 6R and was taught my Mrs Chan(whom I believe is still teaching 6R this year). I just wanted to offer a younger perspective about PSLE and preparation for it.
After SA1 results are released, Mrs Chan and most other teachers, I believe, would likely have an idea of their students' academic standard.
After the holidays, the workload does increase tenfold. I admit, I often had to stay up till around 11 to finish the work given. Even the top pupil and our head prefect did. However, I believe all the teachers are forgiving. I'm sure they'll give extensions when provided with a valid reason.
I don't know about other teachers, but Mrs Chan believes that to be well-prepared, we need more than enough practice. The workload seems to be immense, but I wish to bust any myths about the teachers not going through the homework and the work being 'unnecessary'.
I'm sure the teachers put in a lot of work to plan lessons, and Mrs Chan herself stays up very late to mark our worksheets and give her own model answers. I can safely say that we aren't in much of a position to complain against the teachers, since they have to put in just as much as or even much more effort than their students.
Sometimes teachers might not go through the worksheets, but I'm sure they have valid reasons. They might have forgotten, or time simply isn't enough.
And yes, quality over quantity. The quantity of the work IS indeed accompanied by quality, IMO. The teachers wouldn't give their pupils an irrelevant worksheet or teach an irrelevant topic, would they? I don't think so, especially not RL teachers. They do put in thought before handing out a homework assignment.
Mrs Chan often told us that we need to be familiarised with all types of questions for all subjects. We don't know what questions PSLE might attack us with. Better safe than sorry, right? An increased amount of exposure decreases the chances of us being stumped by a seemingly unseen question during PSLE. The workload is justified.
And about the teaching methods, every teacher has his or her teaching style. We as students have to learn to adapt to it and change our own learning style. When teachers let us copy from the answer key, we are expected to absorb the information and ask when we have doubts. As sensible and mature 12-year-olds, we all have the ability to do so. We DO have a choice whether or not to learn. We have to take initiative, too. When we are unsure about a topic or question, it never hurts to ask the teacher. We need to understand that we oughtn't only do something when told, and that our teachers aren't scary monsters that'll eat us up.
The bottom line is--hard work will bear fruit. Instead of focusing on the teachers being cruel and unfair, we should concentrate on understanding the rationale behind their actions and act accordingly.
Mrs Chan's does have her reasons. This is shown in the fact that the entire class scored above 250 and scored A* in Mathematics last year, and around 30 students scored A* for English and Science respectively. This alone is proof that her abilities need not be doubted, and neither should any of the other teachers'.
No teacher teaching the P6 cohort is bad. All our P6 teachers have seen many batches of students come and go, and are, of course, experienced teachers. We benefit from listening to them.
Thanks for reading this entire chunk above! I wish your child the best of luck in PSLE. Only a few months left
Have a nice day! -

Have a nice day! Wonder why this post came about since there were no previous posts on any particular RL teacher.
Different people have different perspectives. I guess as a parent, I would expect the teacher to mark the open-ended questions for at least school revision papers so that my child will know whether he or she is wrong instead of merely copying answers from the answer key. If the child realises that his or her mistake is wrong and the teacher explains why certain answers are wrong etc then learning takes place. I am ok if the additional papers from other schools are not marked.
Were there complaints about any RL teachers in KSP recently? Just curious.
But definitely heartening to hear words of appreciation from the younger generation. -
Anyone knows how many Parent Volunteers (within 1km) or (1km-2km) have Rulang Primary School accepted and going for the registration for this coming Phase 2B primary one registration on 22 and 23 Jul 2013?

this yr's PV number super low.... will be very difficult to get in RL in future... hope moe remove PV soon.
No choice, they adjust d PV no. according to the no. of seats available for 2B. So this yr only 10 seats for 2B, next yr MOE will only allow them to take-in 10 PV.... :xedfingers:
If there is no expansion of the school to have more space, when time to come that all muz go as single session (2015), can foresee that very soon all the students there will be \"own ppl\" (ka-ki-lang), cos all are either the younger siblings of current students, or kids of the staff / alumni.... donnit PV liao, no place for 2B & 2C! :scared:
