I checked with my DD , she mentioned that currently they are learning ABC for English and 1-10 for math. I think MCS trying to slow down for P1 student by going slower and no exam to relief stress from parent.

[quote=\"jesyeo\"]Hi mummies,
My girl is in P1 Integrity. I am hoping I can get to know mummies whose girl are in the same class as my girl is quite a blur Sotong.

Hi Chosun, my girl's spelling starts on 14 Jan.

Hi jesyeo,

My girl is also in P1 Integrity, I'm her daddy.
Nice to read all the headaches that parents have in this forum, at least I know what's going on with all the materials given by the teachers, now.

1) how do you know spelling starts on 14 Jan?
2) I told my girl to ask teacher when she will be getting back all her work for English, she says she will be getting them back this Friday. At least we parents know what our girls are doing in school.
3) my girl told me that she is doing handwriting for English since yesterday, now is letter D (I think).

Btw, what does DD mean?

Hi CloverLover,

Great to know you. DD means dearest daughter.
1) My gal wrote down the spelling date on the spelling list. However, last Friday the teacher has changed the spelling date to 21st Jan.
2) my gal brought back the Handwriting book on last Friday. They are to complete till letter 'E'
3) Is your gal joining any CCA? My gal opt for Arts but she din receive the acceptance letter. Wondering if that means she's not being selected.
4) What's your gal's name? My gal is 'Wei Ning'[/quote]

Hi, the My Pals Are Here. Handwriting book is way too easy. Actually I prefer the Stellar Handwriting book as it is more challenging. My Pals Are Here Handwriting book is more like preschool k1/k2 standard.

Hi sembgal,

Yes. My gal received her CCA acceptance letter on Monday.

[Chosun]

My gal wrote this in helpmate, but i have no idea what it means "Do mental sums format for 6 more exercises."


Need to hand-in on Monday. Anybody can advise what to do?

[Freellie]

Hi Chosun,


According to my gal, they had completed mental sums 1 and 2 in class in the little blue notebook. Mrs Robert wanted them to get ready the exact format for another 6 or more exercises so that she can continue with mental sums 3 and 4 and so on in class on another day. Probably the gals took abit of time in 'drawing' the format in class.

(Cross my fingers that my gal got her message correctly... )

[Chosun]

Thanks Freellie.


Hope to meet u & other mummies on 24-Jan morning.

Hi Parents,


How do you find the Chinese teachers update so far? Mine seems dormant like a volcano with no news of whoever she is and most messages are passed back through my girl verbally. Do Chinese teachers provide updates as enthusiastically as form teachers if requested?

[Freellie]

Chosun, my gal told me today that the ‘mental sums’ are to be done at home with parent’s help and not in class. (Just an update for you. I myself am also quite confuse now regarding this…Haha). Anyway will check with her teacher during the parents’ briefing session.

Hi Sembgal,

Do you know where we can purchase the stellar handwriting book? Agree with you that My Pals is rather easy! Thanks!
