      I realized PCS has no CA1 for P1-P3? unlike other schools, they have CA1 before the march holidays.

      Most schools dont have CA1 thse days. They have Holistic Assessments, like smaller assessments but testing different components. Call them bite-sized.

        It is academic driven, at least to me. School culture is generally caring. I find the school admin staff very caring.


        My son has the luck to have some caring teachers in P1 and P2.

        Dear Mummies,

        Pls advise if Poi Ching consider a good school with caring teachers & is it a academic driven school?

                  My friend ask (born 2007, due for p1 Regn coming July, this batch ):-


                  She very much want to enrol her child into a sap school. But her child’s Chinese not strong. Would you parents still think is alright to go ahead, enrol her child into the sap school, and hope that the "tide" & flow of the sap school wish push her child along, ground her deeper into Chinese ? Should my friend go ahead to give it a try ? This school is poi Ching primary. (Tampines)

                  Are there any poi Ching parents around -
                  whose child had gone thru p1 and p2 "yun Yu" Chinese - whose standard is much higher than our Singapore moe p1 / p2 higher Chinese textbook ? How do you cope, when your k2 kid at the point of entry is not ready, and yet still desire to enrol your child in ? Because if the child can manage to overcome p1 / p2, then her Chinese foundation is rooted in these 2 crucial years.

                      The teachers believed that P1 and P2 are at the right age to absorb.

                      Anyway, a lot of parents do not go out of the way to prepare the kids for yunyu, so i dont think she will be out of place. The hard part comes during the journey itself.

                        Thank you for the positive encouraging words, dreamgear.


                        May I inquire :-
                        Do p1/p2 pupils use yunYu workbooks to do the chinese exercises (eg: Han Yu pin yin, recognition of Chinese vocabulary, zao Ju (sentence construction), counting the number of Chinese strokes in a word, comprehension, see a picture and then write down a few lines to describe the incident inside the picture, etc), after reading from yunyu textbooks ?

                        Or lao shi don’t use yunyu workbook(s) at all, but just use loose worksheets of their own, and then hand out to the pupils in the class to practise ?
