For GS, they have one quiz (40marks) and two assessments (5 marks each) for each term. Full score is 50.

The total score for exam subjects are 95, the remaining 5 marks are based on day-to-day work and performance.

Composition is a combination of daily assessment and exam.

Handwriting, Visual Arts and RE are daily assessed.

Oral, Listening, Music, PE and PTH have some sort of assessments.

Thnks Charlesmama,

your valuable comments and information!
Do you think if it is necessary for kids to enrol any summer course for P1??

charlesmama

My girl didn't take any preparatory class before going to P.1.  If you girl belongs to those who can concentrate and "sit still" and listen, you don't have to worry much.  If she is very active and always "out of control" style, you may have to train her a bit earlier so that she can adapt P.1 easier.  (life in primary is not as free as kinder, you have many rules to follow)

As I have mentioned earlier that I think interest in reading is very important, you can start building  up reading habit for her (both Chinese and English).  English standard is crucial.  If you want her to take a course, you can consider brushing up her English. It helps in understanding  both GS and Maths.   When they reach P.3 or P.4, it is the language skill that matters most.

If you don't want her to take any course, just simply ask her to revise what she has learnt in kindergarten so that she would not be just like a blank paper......  The observe her problems she encountered and get related courses.

Oh! But my suggestions are for those who do not aim high.  I know some parents who already start teaching the kids P.1 syllabus during summer so that the kids can be ahead of the others. So it depends on your need.

Thanks Charlesmama!

I agree with your points !!!

Hi everyone. my daugther just got admitted to P4.

Hi, charlesmama

Thanks your information, very informative and helpful.  I appreciated that you have clearly mentioned that your information is for those parents who are not request very high.  Therefore, we have more idea on how to do and what we can get.

I have one question, as we are not living too close to the school but the school is using cycle system.  Is there any headaches for arranging the extra activities(outside) after school?  Because every Monday maybe day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6......., that means every monday they finish school in different time if they have activity from school, so the time is not easy to control.

Hi AndyRain,

You don't have to worry.  

The school hours are the same everyday.  They have School Activities class within school hours.  

If you choose to join other school activities (which are not many for P.1, most will join Computer class but you still need to go through a lucky draw screening), it will be held regularly on a particular weekdays or Saturdays.

I remember that School Activities class for P.1 is just some handcrafts unless you are chosen to join the choir.

Just a reminder, on the first day of school, you are going to get many circulars to read and reply, so you better make sure you have enough time and energy to finish them all.

Dear Andy Rain,

Thnks for your reply!!
Do you know if the medium will change to Full English from Day 1 like assembly or they have a "honeymoon" period" except chinese, PTH and Religious.  

Please advise!!

AndyRain

According to what I heard, the teacher will speak in English although they know the girls are not too familiar with English or some/most/all of them are not fully understand.  The teacher hope the girls won't rely on any luck to change the channel.  Let them get use with the new medium environment.  Mostly the girls can handle it in the 2nd term, every year is like this.
