Yes, my dd mentioned doing maths test yesterday (number bonds and also spelling numbers in words); but not sure if the teacher will return the tests to us. may be just practise - i tot the marks to be included will only be in term 3 and 4 - according to the parents link note.
not sure abt chinese show and tell. my dd said her teacher told the class to prepare 2 topics just in case if the 1st topic didn’t score too well; the pupil can do another one. but i’m not sure if it’s a gd idea to let my dd memorize 2 topics - she may get mixed up. dunno how many sentences is enough. if it is just practise, no need to be so "tedious" - must prepare 2 topics!
my dd’s going to library today and insisted that her teacher told them to borrow 6 books; and she’s so mad that i’ve already used her library card to borrow 2 books. I even need to write a note to the teacher to explain the situation (ie. she can only borrow another 4 bks) inorder to "pacify" her. dunno if she’s smart enough to borrow the small/ thin books. -
Huh! I only prepare 1 topic for my son for the Chinese Show and Tell.

From the teacher: The tests are "readiness" tests to identify weak students for early intervention.

ningy, u received yesterday? Why I dun hv.
Is it that different class hv different schedule? -
BlurBee, the teacher’s note was dated 28/1 and it’s from her chinese teacher; not sure if every class has different ways of testing the show and tell. dd is in P1/6. the note also stated min 5 sentences.
need to coach my dd to memorise the first topic; she’s a bit lazy and grumbled that her brain is going to "explode" ! still have to "force" her to memorise another topic during cny so that she can deliver her 2nd show + tell after cny. dunno if they are just practices or actual marks are awarded ??? hopefully she can remember her "speech" in front of the class; stress…
talked to a few of her classmates; some seemed quite smart and dd said their worksheets always got full marks; wow ! guess some kindergartens taught a lot of things and they’re well prepared. dd also complained that her artwork (done by herself) got B- and her friend’s artwork got A+ although he admited to the teacher that his mum helped him. -
OK, OK. Thanks, ningy.
Need to go search all the little notes. :roll: -
remembered reading from the note (listing the events for the year) given out in the 1st week that markes are calculated only from Term 3 onwards. my friend who is a teacher told me that it is moe rule that marks cld only be cal from term 3, and tests for the 1st 2 terms are for practice…
