They were told 20 students in their class got 90 & above for Maths but would be getting back their papers only today. The kids should also know their SS results a few days ago.

Hooray!!! SA1 is finally over!!! Heard this round’s papers are much tougher than CA1’s. Hope the kids can manage. My boy said that the Maths paper is tough and yet half the class got 90 & above. They are getting their Maths paper back today. Fingers crossed.

as for keeping the sleeping bag after use, i have got my boy a drawstring bag from daiso (which is bigger than the sleeping bag’s bag) to save him the hassle of rolling the sleeping bag into the compact size which i myself find quite tough.

mmm - for the p4 camp, the kids are allowed to wear home clothes, so no need to buy extra pe shorts for that purpose. they only need to wear pe attire to school on thur.


anyway, shirley should be in tomorrow at the school tuckshop to sell uniforms etc cos they will be there every 1st & 2nd tue of the month.

i thought i was the only one scouting around for sleeping bag when i saw no one mentioning last fri. anyway, i bought one ("bot" brand) at $19.90 from a shop called "Adventure 21" at chinatown point. it’s better to get one with the head piece. i understand the coleman brand doesn’t have.

haha. we seem more kancheong than our kids for the preparation of the camp.

vlim- at the recent morning with teachers, my p4’s form teacher shared with us her observation that some of the students are too slow in doing their maths. at the rate they are going, they definitely won’t have enough time to finish their maths papers when in p5 & p6. she has taught p5 & p6 previously and so is able to share with us her insights. Her advise is to get the kids to do faster through constant practice. as excelling in maths is all about accuracy and speed, handwriting can be compromised a bit.

chasingjelly- think they have forgotten to amend the spelling list. i am pretty sure there is no sports meet for the upper primary next week as to date there is not a single house practice, a definite prelude to the sports meet in the past years.

chasingjelly - if you have read this jan’s newsletter, you would recall that the school has done away with the upper primary annual sports meet. in place will be a mass sports day (i can’t recall the exact term but it’s meant for more students to participate rather than a selected few good ones) which will be held in term 2 week 10.

shoe -read the newsletter dated 6 Jan 11 distributed last week. the ptc is for all levels on 22/1/11. for p2 is 10.30am - 12.30pm if i remember correctly.

helpme999 - the coming parent-teacher conference next Sat should shed lights to this topic. it may be a little pre-matured to discuss now.

MMM - exactly how i am not sure but i know it’s not easy to go through the SBF membership route.


Adbie - i have replied you in pm.
