[quote=\"Flowermonaster\"]Can anyone post the list of P6 science topics?

I was looking for \"An American Childhood\" & \"I know why the caged birds sing\" at Kinokuniya but was told out-of-stock. Anyone want to sell me their old copy or know anywhere I can find them?
MTIA!

Hi Flowermonaster,

The 2 books you mentioned \"An American Childhood\" and \"I know why the caged birds sing\" - are these children's novels or books used in the GEP?? For English? Literature???

It's the P6 GEP Extensive Reading Programme list. They are part of the choices for Term 1 work.[/quote]Thanks, Flowermonaster. I'm new to GEP. Surprise to see 'Charlotte's Web' in the P4 booklist. Is this for P4 extensive reading? For reading purpose only or do they do in depth study as in literature? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Can someone pls help with this number pattern question?

Hi,

I have tried below, not sure correct :roll:

1st row: 3, 9 (3x3), 7, 7 (7x1)
2nd row: 4, 16 (4x4), 13, 26 (13x2)
3rd row: 5, 25 (5x5), 21, ? [color=#FF0000(21x3 = 63)[/color]

Ans = 63?

whats the answer given?

I do not have the answer as it is a school worksheet. Can only check with the teacher when my ds returns to school on Friday. Will update you on the actual answer.

I have 63 too but not too sure - as the other numbers do not conform to the same pattern (like what mother777 had shown above).

Since KSI and Mother777 had the same answer too, I'll tell my ds to write that as the ans.

Thanks;)

Hi Hgn888,


Never hear of GEP-training in Rosyth. Maybe I am not aware. What I know is that P3 students who are strong in english and maths are encourage to attend an enrichment class on Monday. Maybe this is the class that PerryAve was referring to.

Perry, pls correct me if I’m wrong.

Criteria for the above: I think it’s based on Term1 result. Never hear my ds mention about ‘ability test’ . . . or maybe he didn’t tell me lah.

KeeKee, Thanks for sharing. Yes, the COP for schools with affiliation can be 10 to 20 points lower. It’s a huge difference.


In fact ds got a place in a school with sec affiliation since the beginning of school holiday. But I was in a dilemma whether to accept the offer since ds was adamant to transfer.

I finally relented yesterday. So ds will continue in Rosyth. Just hope I’ll not live to regret my decision. Glee! Stressful being parents! Will have to purchase the text books this weekend.

Ds is not the independent, self-study type. So obviously not the GEP type. But then curious to find out what is tested in GEP? Anyone, any ideal?

Keekee, your dd will still have a chance to go to I/A class next year. Keep encouraging her. I know of a boy who is not from I/A but did very well this year. He’s posted to P5 I next year. Every year, there are children moving in/out of these 2 classes. So everyone will get a fair chance. But kids who are posted out of I/A can be devastating for them if too much emphasis is place on the class.

As for your question to the range for I and A class, a parent once told me that a general rule is to score all above 90. But then it also depends on how well the whole level does. Hope this helps.

Anyone thinking of transferring their DS/DD to a school with secondary affilation?


Rosyth is an excellent primary school. The only setback is that she has no affiliation to any secondary school. I’m thinking of transferring my ds to one with affiliation. Just to buy my ds a safety net for PSLE. However, both my ds and I have developed a strong bond with Rosyth and I’m constantly in a dilemma. Parents, do you think it’s a wise choice to change?

All parents are welcome to advice. Maybe P6 parents can give their thoughts on this and give me some advice. With the PSLE result out recently, would you have change your child to one with affiliation if given the choice?

Thank you, Just4Fun. Congrats to you too.


Yes. I’m happy with his academic performace. I usually leave it to him to spend on whatever he likes. He bought some story books last year (he was top in class last year too). So it’s up to him to spend his $20 reward . . . books or games . . .

You may want to spend the vouchers on nett items since the vouchers are not entitled to the popular member discount. I use it on printer ink cartridge (nett item). Then just replace the reward with cash.

Yes, keekee is right. Integrity and Adventurous are the 2 top classes in Rosyth. The top 80 students are allocated to these 2 classes. So it’s just coincidental that the top 3 students of Just4Fun’s DS’s class go to Integrity.


My boy is top in class too. He’s in P3 Adventurous next year and the 3rd in class is in P3 Integrity. This confirms the class allocation method.

Btw, is anyone thinking of transferring their DS/DD out of Rosyth to a school with secondary affiliation?

Thanks to all the parents who shared their views and experience.


I agree that Rosyth is a good school. That makes it more difficult to make a decision. Still in a dilemma but DS seemed more receptive to the idea after visiting CH several times this week.

I did explain to him the rationale behind the move but ds will always reply that he will work hard to get into a top sec school instead. Sigh!
