Abby's 2nd term assessment

13.11.13 (Wed)

Yesterday was Abby's kindy's Parents-Teacher Day, ie, Report Card Day! Abby sat for her 2nd term examination end of Oct and it's time to see how she score.

 

One week before her exam, I came out with some sample exam questions on BM, English, Phonics & Mathematics, to help Abby prepare herself for the upcoming exams. She made some careless mistakes (even with me giving her tips and chances)! I was quite worried for her, especially her Chinese subject, where she would need to be tested on 数笔画，听写笔画. She scored 84% for Chinese last term. Many of my friends commented on my FB that as parents, we shouldn't pressure our children too much, especially she is only 4 yrs old. Well, true also, as preschool nowadays, was unlike our times. I don't remember sitting for exams, having Science and Computer lessons...Anyhow, hopefully Abby will do better 1st term assessment.

 

So, when we reached the Kindy, teachers were there greeting us with smiley faces. Her class teacher shown us her report card..hmm..overall, she improved in all the areas, scored 100% in 4 subjects (BM, English, Science & Phonics (1st term 96%)), 87% in Chinese (1st term 84%) and 97% in Mathematics (1st term 100%), with an average points of 97.33%. (1st term 96.67%)

 

While Hubby chatting with her teacher, I saw a piece of notice on the table, something on the model child 2013. Then, her teacher took the notice, and congratulated us, informing that Abby has been chosen as the Model Child year 2013 for her class. (Total students: 9) We were really surprised, at the same time happy and proud for Abby! I guessed she still won't understand what does Model Child means to her now..but I am sure when she grows up next time, and see the trophy, she will be proud of herself too! 

 

Initially Hubby promised her if she scored 100% in all subjects, she will be rewarded. Since she was chosen as the Model Child, Hubby decided to buy her the present she requested.

 

This week will be the last week of the school term. Next year she will be going to K1 class. Hopefully she will continue to learn and perform well in her academic.

 

Concentrating on doing her sample exam paper

Careless mistakes made in Maths & Chinese!
