What was the mean score for P5 SA1 maths again? :nailbite:

For last year 2010 SA2 P5 MA Highest was 93, Avg was 58 and Median was 60, not easy :nailbite:

The highest is 100. AVG in M1 is 78.

Hi JRLam,

I managed to read fr pg 1118 to the current page! Had bn having a hard time balancing catching up with rallies and coaching both kids :gloomy:
I think u asked P5 parents on this forum if Math was tough. Yes, my dd came back with a heavy heart after her math paper, she lamented on why Math papers in P5 is so tough! I think I contributed partly to her misery as I told her CA1 is a killer, SA1 wld be definitely much easier :xedfingers:
She had a tough time gettg ready for SA1, didn't managed to revise lower pri science as was too busy with revising P5 topics; did only a few Eng and Math test papers; did 2 science papers and some Chin OE compre. Insanely lack of time. And weekends were burnt out as we were out for activities, so that contributed to the lack of revision time.
She had wanted to practice Math but I told SA1 shd be ok so I asked her to focus on Science and Eng Syn and transfn and Chin OE.
How abt ds? Coped well with revision prior to exams?

My DD has to adapt the P5 by only securing 70+ in maths which she can easily take 90+ in P4.

[quote=\"lizhi\"]看了华文试卷短文填空中的最后一段， “他们年纪虽小却能互相（关怀）”...

我很惊讶这里竟然填‘关怀’，其实非常不恰当。
“关怀”一般用于上级对下级、长辈对晚辈。如果用于同级或同辈，说别人对自己关怀，则含有对别人尊重之意。“关怀”侧重于“心怀”，指在以思想意识的高度对人或事物的关爱、爱护，给人以爱抚、宠爱的感觉。
此词若用在几个来回奔跑的小男孩身上， 实在是别扭极了

Agree cos my dd got this question wrong! She thinks too much. What an irony, thinks too much also wrong, doesn't think also wrong. She felt the little kids all ran to help out so should be 合作，instead of 关怀. You can't 搭配 合作 with 互相. It's usually 分工合作。Like you've mentioned, the scenario doesn't seem appropriate in showing 关怀.

same, my dd also filled in \"合作\", 而“互相合作”是常用词语。不过用于此短文也很牵强， 但至少好过填“关怀”。[/quote]Should be 照顾， a Chinese PhD said.

hi marckfch,


Do you know if our kids are supposed to bring whiteboard n marker to school. My son said he missed tingxie today cos he didn't bring. Haiz..didn't even tell us he needs

Thanks.

My son had to bring whiteboard marker to school too.

His Maths CA1 is 33% (hubby is super stunned)...the other 3 subjects in Band 3. Lots of bucking up to do during the Mar holidays.

My DD got two band3, two band2 in LOY10. Worry about how to improve her marks. Band1 has been shifted to >91, is n't it?

[quote=\"E3\"] Instead, train them AFTER P3, like offering the Thinkers Today, Leaders Tomorrow programme, so that on one hand, you develop many excellent students for PSLE, on the other hand, you keep the brains.

Ya the TTLT is a very good programme. Not too sure if they offer it only to the top class....

No, they offer to some pupils from other classes too. Most, not all, in the top class get it. The forms are given out today to the P4. Unfortunately, the EL program is on Friday, crashes with my girl's CCA. Any parent appealing for another day?[/quote]My daughter also got the maths and English forms. But they all crash with her CCA. Seems she does not want to quit her CCA while I really want her to join. Having a headache how to cope with this.

Thanks all of your suggestions!

I may update once she has friends.

I am a new arrival.

Does anyone have suggestions to my P5 daughter about how to make friends in her class?
She feels alone bcos she is the only one to join the new class from her P4 classmates.

Is She Shy and Don't Speak up often?
May B she can start by Speaking to the Gals sitting Near to Her (Of Course Not During Lessons -la )
Start with Something General Like Home work, Which Banding Class U Go, Which CCA U Join, and \"Can I Join U for Recess?\" Kind of Stuff.

Anyway, She will Still Get to see Her Old Classmates during the Maths and CL Banding Class, I'm Sure.

I Find Kids Make Friends Easily, May B this is only the 1st Week, and She's Rather intimated by Being the Only Transferee to the Class.

There Will B More Opportunities to get to know her Classmates Better when they start to do Group Projects together.
My Gal has to Go to Each Other's Home to Complete the Project ....

Or If U R Really Worried About it, Dip your Finger in to Help ....
Get an Occasion to Invite them to Your Place perhaps for Chinese New Year, Birthday, ....
Or An Outing to Snow-City, East Coast Cycling, Watch the Latest Movie, ....

These R the Many Things that My Gal Enjoys for Outing with Her Pals ....

:celebrate: :celebrate:

Thanks a lot!
As she said, she tried to speak to her classmates but no response.
Actually, I also encourage her outing but her only hobby is staying home reading!reading! reading!, either Chinese or English books.

Welcome
It's not easy to make new friends. No worries though, the kids in Pei Hwa are generally friendly. Which class is your daughter in ?

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. She is in LOY10.
