Hi Parents,


For those who have registered in P1 for their kids starting academic in Jan 2012,
since orientation for East Spring Primary School is on 15th October 2011 any body can share information who have experience what’s done in orientation apart from Paying fees & child’s induction to school. Appreciate your feedback so that parents network can benefitted.

hello kaushal26,


I not familiar with East Spring, nor Chong Zheng primary.

perhaps what you can do is - attend year end parents orientation day (POD), at both primary schools.

closer the time towards Term 4 - before the LAST day of Term 4 on 18 Nov 2011, call up both schools, find out when exactly is parents orientation day.

note - once yr end school vacation starts after 18 Nov 2011, P + teaching / admin staff go on holiday, no one will pick up yr phone call, no matter how long you ring.

from asking Principal, teachers, parents there qns on POD – once you clarify your doubts, then you in better position to know which school (ES or CZ) curriculum is higher standard, which CCAs you prefer, normally which Secondary schools do kids end up in from past statistics, etc.

note:
there are 2 types of parents’ talk / briefing.

a)\tthe one conducted around year end Nov / Dec period is POD - for kids entering Primary 1.

b)\tthe other type conducted around beginning each year January is for detailed curriculum briefing for parents - for all levels from Pri 1 to Pri 6.

this is conducted only once a year, beginning January each year. The next time they repeat – will be January, the following year.
go school website, check up online calendar when they conduct.

it is good to attend both types of parents’ briefing.
why ? there is always Q&A at end of session.

from other parents’ concerned queries during Q&A, you can pick up a LOT, 阿great deal of info - about the school you intend to send yr child to.

then as you mingle around with P, teaching staff, plus other parents at higher level than yr kid, you get 1st hand insider news about the school, at yr finger tips.

Thanks greenbean2011 for your helpful information to attend the the parent's briefing. I have tried to go to the schools and try to meet the teachers there through other parents whose children are studying in the schools. I will also try to attend the breifing so I can know more about the school.

For P1 what sought of preparations are done, any special assessment books or reading to enforce. I have been reading with my son everyday and he is picking put new words. But should I be teaching grammar now like Noun, pronoun adjectives. Any parents whose children are going to P1 next year please share what you are doing. Thanks.
