My boy went for the written papers on the 2nd day, and the selection camp 3rd August 11-1.30pm.
We saw most of his schoolmates today who went for the 2nd day written test as well, so I assume the selection camp dates was based which batch they were from.
He was in grp 21, all boys from different schools, separate glass cup/ Moscow circus experiment. He rated first round 4/5 since they managed to do that, 2nd round 2/5 (trickier as it was on a stair-like surface), 3rd round was sort of an ethics qn, ABC agreed beforehand that peer appraisal all shld have the same grade, but C didn't turn up for any project work at all due to CCA and outside commitment, will they honour their agreement or give a \"suitable grade\"? The boys jointly debated with the 2 teachers that a suitable grade is more ...erm.... suitable
(No right or wrong answer but just seeing how they present their views, I guess)
His classmate in grp 18 on the other hand was asked to give an actual percentage of C's effort, they were also shown a project on laptop and asked to talk abt it. This grp was asked if there is other thing they can improve about the Open House, what will it be?
Gp 21 was not shown any laptop project, but it seems they chatted a longer time (esp when it came to the you-tube vidoes they watch, even recommending which ones to follow, & apparently they all shares the same likes :roll: ) They went asked why they want to go to SST etc. He told me that he enjoyed the session and he made 3 new friends. Before gg to the camp, I told him that SST actually had camps the previous week, so it is a possibility that they may had selected all 200 students already, so just go in and have fun.
After coming out, we talked about the questions then I asked him if he is the teacher and have to choose one student, who will be selected? He took a moment to think and then replied that it is very hard to choose as the synergy of the group was great and everyone was having a great time, he hopes everyone will get in. No sabo king in his group
Told him selected or not, it's ok, time to buckle down for PSLE, went for lunch and then home.
Good luck to all!
