陳守仁小學 comments N advises 家長報到!

ahchoi,

Thank you very much for your comment.

Obviously, I don’t mind any parents (both TSL and non-TSL parents; P1 – P6) to join the discussion as more input from different parents will only enlighten each other more.  

Your comment eases my worry.
Originally I thought the workload should be heavier in P5 when compared to P4.
For example, I found the Chinese subject in P4 is much “harder” when compared to P3.
However, this is not so obvious for English, Maths and G.S. so far.

But even though the workload is more or less the same as in P4, I think parents need to spend more efforts in the P5 “呈分試”.
Right??
Such examination is very important for the S1 allocation.

To me, the first term test is already half way through now.  
We still have three and a half days to prepare for the balance 2 subjects.
It should not be too bad!!

Hi, Principal,

其實呢7個星期, 暫時唔係睇到太大分別, Math都係差唔多, 主要都係TOBS, 唔覺多咗嘢做, 不過要求高咗, 好似啲word problems 嘅 steps 都要跟得好足, last sentences 嘅 grammar 都唔可以有錯 (都好, 練埋英文).

不過中文嘅功課就好似多咗少少, 有自習 (喺閱讀評估裏面搵唔熟識嘅詞語查解釋寫喺簿上); 作文會喺堂上作, 可以幫佢地控制好作文啲時間; 作句我就覺得要求高咗, 不過係好事, 呀女都覺得冇問題, 佢話須然個老師比較嚴, 但係都係為佢地好喎, 佢仲話愈嚟愈鐘意個老師.

而英文嘅 composition會教得比較仔細啲, 有啲points或者hints去引度佢寫好啲, 同埋會叫學生同同學比comments比自己篇文章. 另外, 以前會作一次就交得, 而家會有1st draft, 2nd draft 同 final, 比學生知道自己篇文章可以點樣改進, 不過大多數都係喺堂上做.

一句講哂, 應該係而家佢地要做嘅嘢係要比較仔細同小心, 要控制到時間. 同埋會多咗問佢地嘅意見同提議.

呢啲係我覺得同p4唔同嘅地方.  其實我覺得而家係將一塊琢磨好嘅玉石再磨得靚啲嘅時候.

angelprincess,

Yes, it’s probably true.
Basically, it is more difficult to get high marks in senior grades than in junior grades.

I heard that there seems to have a greater variation in the academi ...

I am sure you don’t want to listen to the song
“Let it be” any more before your first D-Day.

But instead, you will probably want to listen to your favourite song ‘Yes, we can”.

Hi, ahchoi,

同意你嘅講法, 其實同p4最大唔同嘅係我地做家長嘅, 緊張咗好多.  所以我地真係要識得relax, 唔好比太大壓力比自己同個小朋友.  所以我已經喺測驗嘅最後一日, 請假同個女去玩番一日relax吓.

angelprincess,

Yes, not only TINGMUM, but also Bluestar.
Suddenly, I found there are so many active P5 parents on E.K.

Hope they can also share their views here when they have spare time.

I find myself very lucky to have so many good advisers to ask about the P5 and P6 stuff in the time to come.

其實呢7個星期, 暫時唔係睇到太大分別, Math都係差唔多, 主要都係TOBS, 唔覺多咗嘢做, 不過要求高咗, 好似啲word problems 嘅
steps 都要跟得好足, last sentences 嘅 grammar 都唔可以有錯 (都好, 練埋英文).

- 要求高咗 : I also find this key difference between P4 and P3, especially in Chinese and English subjects.

不過中文嘅功課就好似多咗少少, 有自習 (喺閱讀評估裏面搵唔熟識嘅詞語查解釋寫喺簿上); 作文會喺堂上作, 可以幫佢地控制好作文啲時間; 作句我就覺得要求高咗, 不過係好事, 呀女都覺得冇問題, 佢話須然個老師比較嚴, 但係都係為佢地好喎, 佢仲話愈嚟愈鐘意個老師.

-  For Chinese subject, the teachers would like the pupils to write the Chinese words properly (i.e. to make sure each Chinese stroke is written properly).
This is good.

Besides training them to write the Chinese words neatly, the pupils can also be trained to pay more attention to every detail.
This will also help them to be more careful in Maths and English subject.

而英文嘅 composition會教得比較仔細啲, 有啲points或者hints去引度佢寫好啲, 同埋會叫學生同同學比comments比自己篇文章. 另外, 以前會作一次就交得, 而家會有1st draft, 2nd draft 同 final, 比學生知道自己篇文章可以點樣改進, 不過大多數都係喺堂上做.
                 
- This is also a good arrangement.
On one hand, pupils can learn from each other how to write English composition better.
On the other hand, each pupil can improve their composition by modifying the content/words after having the second thought and comments from the classmates.

一句講哂, 應該係而家佢地要做嘅嘢係要比較仔細同小心, 要控制到時間. 同埋會多咗問佢地嘅意見同提議.

呢啲係我覺得同p4唔同嘅地方.  其實我覺得而家係將一塊琢磨好嘅玉石再磨得靚啲嘅時候.

Hi Angelprincess,

You are awesome!!! I can only comment in general while you can pick up the differences in details. J
I wish I could have a day off too but it’s quite impossible for me. My annual leaves this year are all scheduled, till the end of 31 Dec 2009. L

Hi Principal,

If you need, I can send you the worksheets to understand what P5 students are learning.

Cheers,
Ahchoi

angelprincess,

First of all, we need to dig out a piece of un-polished jade.
Then, we need to “enhance” that piece of jade.
Finally/hopefully, that piece of polished jade can become a rare gemstone!!

It’s easy to say the above in words.
But it will take many years and tons of efforts in enhancing/polishing the  piece of jade!!

ahchoi,

Thanks for your generous offer.

However, as we are rather lazy, we do not want to study one year ahead!!  
My personal belief is that P1 pupils study P1 textbooks and P2 pupils study P2 materials, and so on.
I just want to know roughly what life will be in P5.

The good thing for this platform on E.K. is that we can get very useful information from each other.
As no one knows everything, assuming that person A knows 20% of a particular topic, person B knows another 20% and person C also knows an additional 20%, everyone will then know 60% of that topic.
By exchanging each other’s views here, we can look at things from different perspectives and very likely end up with a better decision for most of the time.

Life in P5

Apart from slight variations in individual teachers' requiremenmts (eg for Chin, not all teachers require kids to write down new vocab found in compre pieces), angelprincess has summed up school life in P5 v well !

My observations are, so far, the Chin worksheets for P5 are the same as that for P5 2y ago, whereas the worksheets for Engl are slightly different, incl content and sequence, probably becos diff Engl textbooks are being used now.

***

Already half way through T1 test now.  2 more subjects to go.

Bluestar,

Thank you for your input.

After receiving TINGMUM’s comments upon her return, I can then have the full picture about life in P5!!
It’s terrific!!

- English worksheets : does it mean that it is slightly harder or easier now?

Already half way through T1 test now.  2 more subjects to go.

- Yes, just need to focus for 3 more days and then we can be fully relaxed!!

SueBeeCheung,

It’s good to have more sharing between parents of senior grades and parents of junior grades.

I always learn something from both groups of parents.
