It was a well organised event from FuChun Primary School. I am impressed with the flow of events and the thought of collecting the kids at a common station. I am pleased that my younger boy, Jerry, is joining his brother and sister in the same school.
During the scene of Jerry marching into the school hall, I can not help to realise how time has flew past. He indeed grew up and ready to face the new phase of his life. This round of orientation is slightly different from the older kids as Jerry will be under the new scheme of PERI (Primary Education Review and Implementation) holistic assessment program. In brief, there is no formal Q&A written assessment in each quarter. As for his language subject, there is no formal text book or workbook. I am still not certain on the effectiveness of the program at this stage. I am concerned about the knowledge assessment gap between the final PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examination) and the new PERI holistic assessment. I will monitor and assist him to bridge the gap as it goes.
With the start of the school holiday now, my wife and I planned a series of program for them. I am looking forward to our attempt to Tree Top walk soon.
Till then, I shall sign off here.
