Hi All,

[quote=\"snowbell\"]Hi,


I would like to know whether there are a lot of homeworks, mini tests, etc for P1?

quite a lot of homework, esp chinese. my girl is in P1 now, she had 2 chinese 识字 test every week, cuz they learn 2 chapters every week. after every 5 chapters there will be a chinese spelling test. and english spelling once a week. although all these mini tests are not weighted, still you had to prepare your kids for that.

i normally leave my girl to finish her homework every night, which took her about half to 1 hour every night. then i need to spend another half hour at least to prepare her for the mini tests. those weighted tests are on going, every term had about 2-4 weighted test for each subject, such as pick and tell, chinese reading, test, mock test, etc.

if you compare with other schools, definitely life in poi ching is not easy, not only for kids, esp for parents!

Hi my boy is also in P1 tis yr..
I only agree wif u in d 生子关 part.. yes is quite tedious bt I find is good as it set a v strong foundation for chn.
abt d rest of d HW, mini test n spellings.. I find is a norm for most sch.. ..Personally I find is not alot as compare to other schs..I am cimparing wif NB sch such as horizon pri n pasir ris pri...
In fact I find d sch syallbus is way too slow..[/quote]

Hi all,


I downloaded the parent volunteer form and had it filled out. Probably a silly question to ask, how do I go about submitting the form to the school? Do I post it in or hand it in person? :thankyou:

hi wlliang06, i personally think it will be good to let your child have some basics in CL as there are many new words to learn and can be overwhelming at times. my child attended enrichment class prior to joining P1.

btw, do let me know if you are interested to buy the reading pen 2nd hand? i think i bought it for $80+ (will need to check if receipt is still around) and can sell it off at 50% (still in very good condition as my boy could read quite well without the pen). its not a must to purchase but you can use the pen for P1 and P2.

hi snowbell,

there is no SC inside the school but there are 2 SCs just opp the school. One is Canopy and the other is Sherwinn, you can google for more information about the centres. I think Canopy does not accept new students, only those that graduate from their childcare as they don’t have enough teachers or space. SCs usually close around 7pm (Sherwinn closes at 8pm) so you won’t have to worry about SCs closing earlier than school unless its a SC closure day which you will be informed during beginning of each year.
