Fatty,

What about Bananaman No. 2 ??

Not sure whether the genuine Bananaman is still studying at TSL or just graduated??

Is it a good idea?

Principal,

聽亞仔講 BANANAMAN己畢業, 佢係BANANAMAN 的super fans, 佢都期待可以入ctv做Bananaman No. 2 :loveliness:   

兩個小朋友今日己有holiday moon. 放學玩了成個下午, 我放工同佢地去覆疹, 又過一日, 今日幾乎冇溫書,大家對明天的test都很有信心.

TINGMUM,

Okay.   If the genuine Bananaman has already graduated, all the boys will then have a fair chance to fill up this vacancy.
Let some boys dress up as Bananaman and hold a competition on the Halloween Day to vote for the new one!!  

After working so hard for the term test, our children should be rewarded for a great party.
Let them play hard!

Bluestar & TINGMUM,

What do you think about the level of difficulty of the P.4 curriculum compared to that of P.3?

Will it be similar or may be another 10-15% more difficult?

TINGMUM

Principal,

I think P.4's curriculum is quite alright. Most of my daughter's classmates got the good results in the test.  My daughter also got 90+ in most of papers. But Chinese test paper is quite difficult if I compared it with the one in P3 in the last year.  It's hard to tell the difficulty level and %. I have compared my daughter's chinese test paper and dictations with two of another popular primary schools, I found that our school's chinese standard is not bad at all!

This year all the chinese teachers in P4 set a high expectation from their students. It will be very tough for those students who have chinese learning disability. I think it's good for most of the students in P4 but not for my daughter.

principal

TINGMUM,

Thanks for your information.

I find the main difference between P3’s curriculum and the P2’s is on the Chinese subject.
The Chinese comprehension and the textbook are much longer/harder than that of P2.
I do not see such obvious difference in other subjects like English, Maths and G.S.

I think the school would like to further enhance the pupils’ ability in the Chinese subject overall and this should be the right direction.
But the thing is that parents and pupils need to catch up with the progress.

P2 to P4 can still be the time to catch up.

When our children advance to P.5, it will be the time for them to “run”, not to catch up.

Bluestar

Principal,

GS and Maths are similar to P3 ==> can be regarded as easy.

The difference in Chin is the greatest, and the teachers mark the paper(s) with a tighter hand.

We don't have the 2 Engl papers yet.
But there are fewer worksheets in Engl (both grammar and C/W).  Prefer more worksheets, the kids could easily take in more, so why not let them run in this subject, since they obviously have the ability to do so.

Bluestar,

Yes, I think we have the same observation, especially on the Chinese subject.

As for the English, if the teachers give more worksheets/homework for the pupils to do, will some parents complain about too much homework??

I think we can guide our children to do either some more exercises, in addition to the school work, or read more books to learn better English.

Well,

1.  The kids have minimal volume of worksheets / homework vs their counterparts in local pr schools anyway.

2.  There were ~10 worksheets in both gr and C/W per term in the past, but this school yr there were only 2 - 3 up to now in our case.  Have plenty of room to do more and learn more, progress and vol of work is toooooo slow / little this yr.  Prefer to spread the wksheets out over the entire yr, instead of (possibly) rushing to complete a lot to make up during the rest of the yr.

Of course parents can ask kids to do suppl ex ourselves, but the kids usually have some "choice" in doing suppl ex designated by parents but no choice over homework !

They definitely have lots of room to run !!

Yes they can read more, which definitely helps their Engl and Chin a lot.  Must get piglet to read a few books over this weekend while there is more time after the term test.

b*,

接觸數次, 發現我們班的中文老師是一位很有辦法提昇學生中文水準的好老師. 她有寫信告訴大家今次測驗卷每一PART學生失分及要注意的地方以及考試技巧.  很具參考價值, 我己FORWARD給你, CHECK PM.

principal

Bluestar,

I am not aware of the drastic reduction of the  number of worksheets given for this year so far.

If that is the case, I agree with you that the school should maintain the "minimal" amount of school work for the pupils, not less.

Tingmum,

Tks.

Read, and very impressed.

Hi Tingmum,

Forgive my boldness. May I aslo have a copy of the Chinese test evaluation?

Thanks

Ahchoi

Bluestar

It is not a "Chinese test evaluation", and is quite specifically applicable for Tingmum's kid, not material generally applicable to all kids / other kids, so should not be of interest to other parents.
Tingmum merely wanted to share with me as we (and our kids) know each other quite well and we discuss what can be done for both of our kids to improve themselves in all aspects.  There is some material which is not appropriate for sharing and I am afraid we will just keep the pm to ourselves.  We will, of course, continue to share what we consider we can and want to.

Hi Bluestar,

Got it.

Maybe I misinterpreted Tingmum's message. I didn't know the Chinese teacher was so nice to write each student/ parent a letter about each one's strengths and weaknesses and thought that it was a general one. If I've known it was a personal one, I definitely would not have asked for it. I boldly asked for it because one of my girls is also studying P4 in TSL and her Chinese paper 1 test was surprisingly poorly performed this time. Anyway, have already communicated with her teacher personally and have got some ideas.

Hope for the best for all our kids.

Regards,
Ahchoi

ahchoi,

Not knowing that you have another child studying at P4 in TSL.
Originally, I thought you are a P1 new parent.

Talking about the Chinese subject, some parents of senior grades said if a pupil can do well in Chinese subject in this school, he/she will very likely be at the top because most of the pupils  in TSL like English a lot, getting a good grade in Chinese subject will ensure that particular pupil's overall marks not to be dragged down.

Let's catch up with our children on the Chinese subject and let them "run/fly" soon.
