Hi, my name is Catherine and my daughter is in P1 Compassion. I need help re info abt next Wed 9/2 and beyond’s tests as well as what’s going on. My daughter is worried sick and I can’t seem to find any letter pertaining to this. I’m wondering if any parents fr Ms Nora’s class can help shed some light? Any info sharing appreciated. Tks

Hi Cat, my dd is not from Compassion but I guess they are all taking the same tests across all primary one. Are you referring to the Maths Topical test on numbers 1 to 10 and number bonds or another test? I don’t think you need to be too worried if your girl has been consistently doing all the work sheets that are given by the teacher. During the teacher’s briefing on Friday, my dd’s form teacher assured us that as long as they have been consistent in their homework and corrections, tests shouldn’t be an issue at all. You can always take out the test book and revise with her if you like. Other than maths, I am not aware of other tests that will take place.

Hi Cat,


I guess you were not at the briefing session. Teacher Nora said the tests will be based on the worksheets the girls have been doing. We asked her how to revise when textbook & worksheet is in class, she said we can bring textbook back for revision. I saw note on helpmate - revise numbers bonds 0 to 10 and numbers bonds.

Chinese test on 14/2-15/2, read the song on pg 18. (not sure why teacher put 2 date, plan to call & ask her)

Eng Diagnostic Test on 27/2.

Hi jnemummy, whatz diagnostic test, what will be the topics or questions abt?

P1 English Diagnotics test-

According to teacher Nora - this is more of grammar & vocabulary components, reading & writing rather than Topics based.
The grammar components covered are Nouns, common & proper nouns, verbs, singular & plural nouns and the various vocabulary under the units covered.

I am planning the same as this month has many test, good to relax at least for half a day with just play. Wondering whether they will still need to go for CCA in morning?

jnemummy, yes it has been such a hectic start to the school year for them they really need a nice \"play\" break! Think mine is having a Maths test today and I didn't do anything to prepare my dd - hope she can manage on her own :nailbite:
