Sorry, side track here: how do u guys label everything. I bought a label that comes with protective film but it just doesnt stick onto his canvas school bag, then I paste over with masking tape, but it came off soon after my boy touched it, how ah?
-
can try put normal scotch tape over the label. but for canvas material its difficult to stick anythg. maybe try that those luggage tag kind of labels. ie hook a key chain cum label onto the zip

Does anyone know if the children wear their own preferred jacket to school on a cold day or do they have a school jacket that they must wear?

Can't comment on CHS, but for MS, neither my son (going on to P2) nor I felt much stress. Granted there was homework almost every day, but the volume wasn't much, just a few pages of worksheets. The only times when he had many many pages to complete were after teachers' absences.
Weekly spelling lists were short (five only lah), tingxie was 10 phrases/sentences but usually fortnightly. I think picture composition was started only either in Term 2 or 3. Sorry can't quite recall. No CL compo yet.
We attend Berries but no English/Maths classes. Honestly, I think my son sailed through the whole year with zero stress. He did pretty well too cos we got to attend the year-end prize presentation.

that’s great.
for my girl, in sng, also no stress in p1.
for p2 starts to get more hmwk but the real stress for me comes for year SA2 cos that is when after that exam they get banded into top 3 classes in p3.
when does MS do the banding?
p1 got exam in MS this year? what abt nx yr? -
24hr-mum, nice to know no stress in SNG; that’s where my dd will go in 2 yrs time. Are there exams for P1? How about ranking?
For Maris, yes there were P1 exams this year: SA1, CA2 and SA2. There were tests throughout the year which counted towards the SA and CA computation.
But I hear that there won’t be any P1 exams from next year.
Errrrr actually I do not know if they do banding, formally, for P3. They will go to different classes for P3, but not sure if this is based on merit. Can enlightened parents comment on this, thanks! -
if they go diff classes in p3 it shd mean got banding after p2 exam
but one thing no thing is with no exams n little hmwk from sch (my girl only has mainly ch n math hmwk, the weakness shows later and less time left to rectify -
No banding after P2 SA2. Banding only starts after P4 final exams. i.e p5 and P6. They used to have only 1 best class in P5 but next year there will be 2 classes.

does MS rank the child by class position at p1 or any other level?
this year wats MS sec’s COP for affiliated and non-affiliated students?
