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'

Just as I have expected, the Parents' Briefing Session (Pri 1 & 2) form was given out today. Usually school needs to give out such forms at least 2 weeks in advance to allow parents to apply leave.


Updates from form:

Day/Date: Friday, 24 January 2014
Time: 9.30am to 11.15am
Venue: Hall and classrooms

9.15am: Registration in the Hall
9.30am: Briefing by Principal
10.00am: Briefing on key instructional programmed and Holistic Assessment
10.30am to 10.45am: Movement to classrooms
:please: 10.45am Meeting Form and co-Form Teachers
11.15am End of session

sembgal:

24 Jan Friday will be P1/P2 Parents' Briefing. Most probably will be held in the morning between 9.15am to 11.30am. The principal will address the parents in hall before the parents proceed to respective classrooms of our daughters to meet form teacher and subject teachers. Most likely this briefing will be about the Holistic Assessment that will take place in Feb/Mar. 1st term no marks will be taken into account. Most likely, the parents' briefing form details will be given out earliest this Friday or next week.

At Primary 1, there will be more bite-sized forms of assessments to build pupils' confidence and desire to learn. Teachers will use a range of assessment tools, including written and performance tasks to enable them to provide feedback to pupils on their mastery of concepts and skills. These assessments will be spaced out appropriately so that pupils will not be overwhelmed. Termly feedback will be provided on each pupil's development to provide a more complete picture of their achievement and progress. At P1 level, Term 1 is Nil. Term 2: 30%. Term 3: 30%. Term 4: 40%. Total: 100%.

At the end of P1, all pupils will be promoted en-bloc to P2. Pupils with specific needs may be re-grouped.

At the end of P2, placement into top 2 classes for following year P3 is ranked by merit and cut-off will be at the maximum enrolment for each of the top 2 classes. After allocation of the top 2 classes, the remaining pupils will be randomly placed into the rest of the mixed-ability classes.

If any parents need more info regarding Holistic Assessment, please go to http://parents-in-education.moe.gov.sg/primary-education/what-and-how-will-my-child-be-assessed/holistic-assessment

Hi mutree, you can issue a chq or give cash to the teacher in charge for the CCA

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.

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.
