Hi RMB,

She’s in 2B2 in Yr 2011

Hi YeeTeemum,
The purpose of doing worksheet during P1 orientation is to test their English language standard, base on the results from the worksheet, the school will group them into different english classes, those who are good will learn more and will have more difficult spelling list, while the weaker will learn at their own pace and have simple spelling list. Also when the P1 kid in term 3, the school will also assess their term1 &2 mother tongue standard and group them into different MT classes. My son took higher Chinese in term 3 & 4 but dropped back to standard MT in P2.

I have a P4 and P1 kids currently studying in KPS. As usaul couldn’t get in DLS, even though it is the nearest to home.

The experiences in DLS and YT wasn’t very good, their staff attitudes were really "bo chap", guess they think they are highly sought after. KPS left me a very good impression when I went there for 2c phrase. The teachers were very friendly and helpful.
Anyway, KPS has good programme. They ‘stream’ their pupil every year base on their academic performance. This allow the kids to learn at their own pace and capability. Personally, I felt more "pressure" after KPS change principal this year, even my P1 gal had to attend supplementary class twice a week, that didn’t happen to my P4 son when he was in P1 under the old principal.
My kids love and very loyal to their school.
Every school has bullies, as a parent we just have to teach our kids to voice out and seek help.
