Yes, I think its for PAL learning only.
Oh so different sections going to different location..good for children to exchange their experience with each other during recess time

My DD1 is all pumped up and excited about it. She is even more happy to hear that I am able to join her class for the visit. :snuggles:

Gives me another opportunity to bond with my DD1 and also see how she is interacting with other kids in the class
(I always hear her describe her best friends, her naughty friends etc..may be able to put faces to those names :evil: )

This is nice!


But my gal’s class didnt ask for volunteers leh.

[mother777]

Is it because I did parent volunteer for 1 year before my DD join P1?

Not sure, but DD mentioned that the parent volunteer form was not given to all children

Hi all, anyone of you attended the P2 briefing on Saturday?

[mother777]

Hi Giggler1,

Yes I did attend the parent brief.
Not much detail except the below:
1) marking scheme for each subject
2) student banding in P3 (from 30 students per class in P2, to 40 students per class in P3)
3) first 3 class of 120 students will be banded by english and maths

after the brief, parents were allowed to talk to form teachers/ subject teacher about any concerns

Hi mother777, I talked to both the Eng & Maths HOD on that day. The Eng HOD said that for the topical test, we can refer to the Stellar booklet to check the topics that will be tested. For the Maths HOD, he said that there’ll only be workshop on models on P4 for parents. He is very helpful and offered to guide me if I’ve any questions.

Hi JR,

wow you are such caring parent
already read all the notices your child brought in..
sigh!! for me I have yet to read them.. will try to do so today evening and check with my DD if she knows..

if she don't them will check with her class teacher and update you all too..

Does anyone's kid is in 2H? I hear that the 2H english teacher is quite good and gives out additional grammar notes and the class do 1 compo each week. Is this true..?

Wow the teacher sounds like gods gift to me!

My DD's class does not have anything like that.

For english, They only have Stellar notebook to work on. Class only did few compo's so far. Only 1 or 2 were corrected and returned.. Sigh..How to learn like this?

Maths is another story.. the teacher always rush through..only taught the topic after the topical test was over (can you believe this???)..Many parents complained (ayyah not me..lah.. becuase being a working parent..I am always clueless what is being taught in the class). Luckily the teacher is being changed. New teacher came in from this Monday..and just keeping my fingers crossed that she is good to the children in teaching the maths concept..

Hi mother777, which class is your dd in? How’s the PAL trip yday? My gal very excited and told me that she learnt lots of new things from the musuem.


Hi JR, thanks for your posting. I checked my gal’s bag and saw the alt assessment memo. I got no clue on what’s Authenticity assessement for Math and Web Art for Chinese too. Maybe can email the Maths HOD, Mr Chong to check? I find him very helpful.
