Bluestar,

One question on P3 TSA.

According to the new school calendar, there will be an assessment for P3 TSA on May 6th and 7th.   
And then, on June 17th & 18th, there will be another P3 TSA.

...

In 2007/08, P3 TSA was held for 2 days right after the T2 Exams, and the kids did quite a lot of TSA exercises (compared to prev months) after T2 test.  Didn't have any TSA in May ga woh !

Maybe TSA = school mock exam ?  But usually no need woh.

Concl. :
Don't know.

Bluestar,

今朝送阿仔搭校車...見車上d curtain大部份拉上...黑漆漆一片....阿仔一上車便拉開...從窗門看入去..看見有個哥哥肥肥地..佢是自己一個坐....唔知係唔係你piglet呢?又話早上架車係30座嘅...以我看...好似比較細d...

嗰個工人真慘....個老細自己攪錯...重要比佢鬧..之後重要罰企咁耐...真係冇人道...唔怪得個小朋友...有其母必有......

Principal & B*,

舊年P3 TSA 係有一次 MOCK , 其實唔當係EXAM, 只不過是比佢地WARM UP 一下.  如果唔係囡囡返來話佢中文做得太慢只完成一半, 真正TSA時要做快D, 我都唔知係 MOCK. BY THE WAY, 舊年佢果班做TSA英文都好O.K.WOW, 有時見囡囡全對, 有時間中錯一兩條, 佢話坐佢附近的同學仔個個都差唔多,P3 TSA的英文唔難.

TINGMUM

DEAR ALL,
琴日係小朋友第一日返學, 佢地返來有冇分享?  
仔仔話 好鐘意兩個CLASS TEACHER,佢地昨日學LINE UP. 昨日有抄手冊,估唔D字竟可以寫到唔出界. 昨晚自己LOGIN E-CLASS睇功課, 睇CAMPUS TV等資料.... 對新學校佢好有新鮮感!

Tingmum,

阿仔話小息時...佢有分享小食..我呢個大慒媽咪居然帶咗包有少辣味嘅日本零食比佢...佢話d小朋友都照食晒....有個小朋友好慘冇帶飯...佢話媽媽話有幫佢帶...可能漏咗校車度...阿仔都沒有抄漏...但手冊封面d字就麻麻地......

MaryBloom,

I guess the fatty pig is my piglet.


Tingmum,

You know piglet seldem tells me anything, unless he gets in trouble or wants to be praised.


Re :  lunch thermos

Piglet forgot to bring his lunch thermos home 3 times last year :
1.  Lost, thought he left it on schoolbus but couldn't find it, after trying to recall what happened he said he had it while waiting for schoolbus after school.  Had to buy him a new thermos.  After ~2 weeks, he found his bag + thermos, in classroom next door, the bag and thermos was there on the floor.  Of course
everything was sooooo smelly.

2.  Left it on schoolbus.

3.  Left it in the classroom.

So anything can happen once they daydream !!

Tingmum,

Now I remember :
once piglet forgot to bring his recorder, it was sometime in late May, and I took it to him on my way to work.  The kids came out of the activity room on G/F instead of their classroom during recess, and piglet held his pencil case + water bottle + ..... (just like 走難) - I guess that was one of the mock exam days.
But it was not shown on the school calendar last year.

Bluestar & TINGMUM,

I know very little about this P3 TSA.

May I ask you some basic questions?

1) How many subjects will be assessed?   
Only English, Maths and Chinese?  What about G.S.?

2) How many/much additional exercises/workload will be placed on top of the existing P3 curriculum?

3) I guess the TSA marks will be used by EDB to assess the banding of each primary school and they will not be shown on the academic report.  
Am I right?  
TINGMUM mentioned that parents will know the marks later on.   
Thus, parents will know roughly the level of their children in that particular subject just for their reference.

[1) How many subjects will be assessed?   
Only English, Maths and Chinese?  What about G.S.?

Only Engl Chin and Maths.  Nothing else.
But for Engl and Chin, also incl oral Engl and Chin and listening.

2) How many/much additional exercises/workload will be placed on top of the existing P3 curriculum?

Well, we bought a few TSA suppl ex "books" which contain worksheets of Engl and Chin, and the kids were given some simple worksheets for Maths.
The kids were asked to do these, some during class, some (eg Chin compo, Engl compo) at home.
Slightly more than before, but workload is still not toooooo heavy.

3) I guess the TSA marks will be used by EDB to assess the banding of each primary school and they will not be shown on the academic report.  
Am I right?  

Yes.

TINGMUM mentioned that parents will know the marks later on.   
Thus, parents will know roughly the level of their children in that particular subject just for their reference.

The worksheets are marked and given back to the kids.  Thus you know how the kids are doing.  The marks are not treated as test marks, nor do they end up in the academic report.  You can also treat it as revision for Engl Chin and Maths exams.

No.

The kids are asked to bring a tissue roll each, from time to time, to share and use in the classroom.  When the class reserve runs out, the kids are all asked to bring 1 roll back to school.

No need to write the name, they just use what there is.

This is part of primary school culture :  TSL is not the only school which asks students to bring tissue rolls back and share in the classroom.  You will soon get used to similar requests.  I was also about it at first but have now gotten used to it.

Tried to squeeze my son to tell me what happened in the school.
1st day:
- they sitted in 5 students in a group and he belonged to group 4. He said that there were 6 groups and he insisted that 5 people in a group. But ttl students is 33
- After the lunch, someone gave them books to read. He said that the words are very big.
2nd Day:
- Some reading.
- Spent a lot of time for handlng in the cir. one by one. He said that spent a lot of time to find each cir.
- spent some time for writing handbook
- then nothing
I asked him which books to bring for tomorrow. He just said that find it in the handbook.

Seems he is like a "cloud".
But overall he said that he is happy.

Well, for him it is only K3+.  Will get used to it soon.

Just take a look at the timetable (should stick this at the back of the assignment book) and help him pack his schoolbag.  Which is why he asked you to look at his handbook.  Sometimes the teachers give them special instructions, eg bring xxx tomorrow, bring yyy on Thursday, ... and the kids write it down in the assignment book.

Don't expect P1 to pack their own schoolbag on the first few days of school.  Although I ask piglet to pack his own schoolbag, I still check it every night to make sure he puts everything in, even for P3.
