SA1 Maths paper is easier than CA1. CA1 Maths paper had one very challenging question. My boy got 87 for CA1 & 97 for SA1. His best friend, who is attending remedial class for Maths got C for CA1 & A for SA1.Hi p6 parents,
Anyone of your kids found the math paper tough? My girl cried and said she found it tough but her friends said it was easy. I am now away for business but worried when she called me to tell me this. I feel a bit helpless overseas now..anyone can help me with this? Like how the std of the paper was? -

85 & above is band 1, which is consider good. There are kids in my girl's class failed 2 of the subjects.Not familiar with p1 but my child just got her report book and I want to find out what percentage is considered okay or normal? Must it be between 90% to 95%
? I wish to find out so that I can work on her improvement during school holidays -

I think I should let my girl to do it by herself. Letting her to participate the show n tell is to allow her to memorize the script better. The last 2 show n tell ( Eng n Chinese) are done by me which I find it is very difficult n time consuming to let her memorize by heart.Guess u would hv to clarify w the tr bcos different trs will hv different expectations. Usually I only helped ds to prepare photo printouts n minor editing of his own script for english. However, his chinese show n tell would come w a note to parents to help in getting the script done w the help of some guiding qns.

Although my girl's 2nd term was not as gd as her 1st term but I'm still glad for her achievement even though the total percentage is slightly below 90%. I didn't prepare her for 2nd term mastery n performance tests. However, I told my girl that we shall work hard together in her next term - mastery n performance tests.
Recently they hv a written compo - my pet for weekend homework. My girl insisted that she wanted to do it by herself. She was very delighted that she scored almost full mark for this time round. My girl told me that her FT who is also her Eng Teacher asked the whole class to raise their hand if the compo writting was done in the help of their parents. For those who was done with the help of their parents was given an average mark - slightly above 5. For the show n tell in the 3rd term, may i ask will the teacher be giving the average score for those who is done by the parents in the term of the script n material? If yes, then it might be quite difficult for a lower Pri to do it by themselves.
However, it is not so easy for a lower Pri to write the script by themselves. My girl can write a short (around 60 words) compo but will only last less than 2 mins. For Chinese, it is even more difficult. Fortunately, they allow parents to assist in the script writing. -

Wow :yikes: yr ds is really excellent in math. I'm really think P1 math is not so simple for P1 students and can't imagine when they reach P2 or P3.

My girl is also in P1. The standard is higher comparing with other schools in Sengkang. Chinese standard is alright, but my girl is very weak in hanyu pinyin so she did not do well. English paper standard is quite high, cloze passage without helping words & term 2 already expected to write compo. Maths paper's standard is also quite high, some kids do not understand the problem sum questions.There is a regression in my girl's 2nd term result as compared to 1st term. The paper seems to be quite difficult for a P1 student as per my view. Lots of careless mistakes made. According to my girl, no time to chk thru the paper especially
Math. Their textbk n file were kept in school and hence difficult to do revision prior to the tests. I don't think currently P1 n 2 are having any honeymoon period.
Overall, the school's standard goes up. When my P6 was in P1, the standard was not so high. The files were given back by teachers for revision before the mastery tests. The kids are not suppose to leave their textbooks in school. You can check with your girl's teachers. Btw, she is from which class? -

The school introduces quite a number of new things this year. My boy is taking his PSLE this year & it is very crucial year. There are new stuffs like zhouji, changeling, creative writing etc. He is not required to write a lot for zhouji. Just a page or slightly shorter is alright. The teacher will not pick on his mistake & no correction is needed. P2 to P3 is a big jump, the standard is higher & there will be Science. However, P3 Science result will not be included in SA1 & SA2. Do expect another big jump from P4 to P5 too.Definitely had a shock in terms of workload n Chinese compo n its oral requirements at p3.
In fact, I had feedback to Chinese tr on the huge gap of making really simple sentences in 2nd semester of p2 to writing flowery compo based on 4 pictures ( sometimes last 1 is blank!) or a required sentence, weekly zhouji from 1st term of p3. Ds was so ill equiped that he could spend the entire Sat on it. Ended up needed lots of our help n ate into family time.
Guess bcos his was the 1st batch of rubic assessment? Perhaps sch is fine-tuning. P1 & 2 now?
Rr SA preparation, his science tr distributed answer keys on the day b4 exam 4 parents to mark n suoervise the corrections -

A lot of kids were sick this month. There were a number of hand foot mouth diseaes cases from P4 & P6 classes. In fact, the school had sent more than 10 kids from a P6 class home due to fever. The kids have to take their own temperature on the last 2 weeks of term 2. My boy alo had fever on/off for the past few weeks too. He was having fever when he sat for his Maths & Science SA1 papers.DS was having fever on/off for the past few weeks. After 1-2 days he went back to school after fever subsided, he will complained to teacher that he was having fever again. Each time, he was tested at the General Office for having fever.
I suspected it is the aircon room which spread the virus around..but again, it was my suspicious. I feed him more vitamins now to increase his own immunity. Was surprised to read similar cases as him. -

Sinc he has a lots of friends. Any of them in the same class as her? Maybe you could find out from her friends or ask her when she is in a happy mood. Btw, she is in which class?Hi Vevey,
She complained feeling sick after eating the maggi noodle and prata. There is one particular time she vomitted in school. She was holding a plastic bag when i reached school. From this incident, she kept calling from school claiming discomfort after recess and whenever i asked her to buy food from school. Now, I'm trying to pack food for her everyday and hence no excuse from her of complaining sick after eating the food.
I hv sent an email to her FT after I found out that there is a regression in her 2nd term result and also numerous careless mistakes made in her worksheet. She fared well in her 1st term result. Her FT claimed that she is no longer feeling enthusiastic about her study and less participation.
Not sure whether it's due to the teacher as she denied the teacher scolding her. She has lots of friends, some even from her preschool. No particular reason from her. Will continue to monitor her and
that she is okay after holiday. :xedfingers: -

Wow.. Getting 85 & above is a band 1, which is consider good. Not forgetting that she did it without your help. Very independent & intelligent girl. :rahrah:Although my girl's 2nd term was not as gd as her 1st term but I'm still glad for her achievement even though the total percentage is slightly below 90%. I didn't prepare her for 2nd term mastery n performance tests. However, I told my girl that we shall work hard together in her next term - mastery n performance tests.
