Hi all,


My son has been admitted into MBS for next year P1.

As per what the experienced parents here have advised, P1 will be PM session next year.

What I would like to ask now, is the school timings for PM session. When I asked the teacher during registration process, he told me that PM session ends at 6.20pm, but I forgot to ask about starting time.

Also, I recall from when I was in MBS, there was flag lowering ceremony for PM session and flag raising ceremony for AM session. Is it still the same now? Does the flag lowering ceremony ends at 6.20pm or later?

Sorry for the detailed questions, but I need the details in order to discuss with the grandparents regarding next year's arrangements for my son and daughter (who will be in K2 next year).

Thanks so much!!

My son is in Pri 1 this year. Reporting time is 12:20pm. They usually sing the National Anthem during reporting time. There is no longer flag lowering during dismissal. They are dismissed after the bell rings at 6:20pm and usually dismissed quite on time. Recess time for P1 is 2:50 to 3:20pm.

The official time for your ds to reach school is 12:20pm as mentioned by Carolina. My mum usually send my ds to school 20 to 30 minutes earlier so that she can proceed to fetch my niece who is studying in K1. Going to school earlier, the kids can also do silent reading in the hall.

Have you read this article on the http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/punggol? Seems like there is no chance for 1-2KM for the past two years under Phase 2C.

It's written clearly in the registration form for you to see.

\"a child who gains priority admission into a school through his/her distance category in part 2 below is required to reside at the address used for registration for at least 30months from the commencement of the p1 registration exercise on 2 Juky 2015. If this condition is not met, MOE reserves the right to transfer the child to another school with vacancies, as the priority admission to the first school was based on the declared address used for registration.\"

Thanks for reply.

Sorry but not so sure of new rule. Pardon my questions

For example: School A have 50 places left and 58 applicants

<1km - 30 no ballot all SC in
1-2km - 10 no ballot all SC in
>2km - 10 place 18 ballot


So does it mean all the SC <1km, and 1-2km SC no ballot so 30 month rule will not apply?

Only those ballot under > 2km if got in have 30 month rule?

Another Example like ACS(Pri) all SC within 1km no ballot all in. Does it mean they 30 month rule not apply for them?

Thanks


My 2B ballot is tomorrow! :xedfingers:

From MOE statement, I would classify those SC who are < 1km to be under the priority batch as well.

For ACS (PRI) example, all SC within 1km also belongs to the priority batch because they got in due to the 1km distance whether or not balloting takes place.

suika02:

any where I can check if the schools around my area last year needs balloting? so I can judge on my chances this year for my kid.

Have you check out this http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/singapore-primary-1-registration-school-balloting-history ?

Seems like we are all learning to teach our children. Keep up the good work.

Q: 59 students bought fruits. 47 of them bought apples.38 of them bought pears. They bought a total of 85 fruits altogether. How manay students bought both apples and pears ?


what's the better approach? draw boxes? (easier to see, but quite a number to draw)

Sorry, I did not use any boxes or anything.

I just deduce based on the information provided. If 47 and 38 brought total of 85 fruits, then each of them only get 1 fruit.

Ans is 85-59 which is 26. Am I right?

That was why I had the impression that it's not P3.

Funny, i see a similar question posed in the P5 thread. So is this a P3 qn or P5 qn?

Next year it will be a P2 question. :evil:[/quote]In fact, it is http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=25114&start=160 of the similar nature. This is why I thought of guess and check method which kids have been exposed.

\"There is a total of 12 cows and ducks on a farm. They have 38 legs altogether. How many cows are there on the farm?\"

How does this type of question fit into the official Primary 3 syllabus which is limited to \"solving up to 2-step word problems\"?


I count, count and count and I keep getting more than 2 steps. :scratchhead:

That was why I had the impression that it's not P3.

Pardon me as I am not very familiar with p3 syllabus but I think guess and check method can solve it immediately. What do you think？

Please help solve qn 1b and 2b

using number bond for mental calculation
345 is made up of 335 + 10
123 is made up of 133 - 10

The number 10 is shifted from right value to left value for the case of Bala which the total amount still remain.

Same as question 2b. Now the number is 100.
