丽文：

我今天来找你，可是你出门了。那天是我不好，我不应该没问清楚，就怪你拿了我的故事书。我后来知道，故事书是明华拿去的。他没问过我，就从我的桌上拿走了故事书。明华已经向我说对不起了。我想我也应该向你说声对不起。对不起，希望你不再生我的气了。

P4 SUBJECT-BASED BANDING


P4 SUBJECT-BASED BANDING

Rationale of Subject Based Banding (SBB)

Implementation Guidelines

Subject combinations at the END of P4

Pupil movement at the END of P5


Why Subject-based Banding?

“We recognise different abilities... and

help each student to proceed at a

pace that he can manage.”

Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam

Minister for Education

2006


What Subject-based Banding means

for your child

Every child will be encouraged to do the

subjects at the levels that best meet

his/her abilities

Removal of streams in Primary 5 and 6


Why Subject-based Banding?

To provide greater flexibility to pupils with

strengths and abilities that vary across

subjects

To encourage better interaction among

pupils with different strengths

The T-score reflects the pupils’ standing

relative to other pupils on a common scale

The Aggregate Score is the sum of the T-

Describe the character

A typical story opening written by lower

primary pupils will be:

One day after school, John

decided to visit the school library.

Here’s the first picture of a Picture Composition showing a boy in a school

library.

This is how you can begin by describing the character first:

John loves books more than anything else. He enjoys reading

so much that all his friends call him ‘Mr Bookworm’. John’s

favourite place is the library and he can spend the entire day

there. One day after school, John decided to visit the school

library again.

Begin with an Action

• Last evening, Mr Lee took his dog for a

walk after dinner.

• It was a cool evening. Mr Lee decided to

bring his dog out for a walk at the park.

We can start with an action instead.

• Tinkle jumped and barked for joy. His

owner, Mr Lee, was getting ready to bring

him out for his daily walk at the park.

• Tinkle wagged its tail and dashed out the

door, with Mr Lee pulling at the leash.

“Slow down, Tinkle!” commanded Mr Lee.

Once again, a typical opening for this picture

would be the use of time or weather such as:

Begin with speech or dialogue

One fine evening, Jane was at home

alone with her baby sister.

This is how you can begin the story with speech or dialogue instead:

“Don’t worry, Mum! I will look after Amy,” Jane told her mother as

her parents waved goodbye. Jane’s parents had gone for a

wedding dinner and she was left alone at home with her baby sister.

“Remember to call us if there’s any problem,” Jane’s mother reminded

her as they waved goodbye. “Don’t worry, Mum! Have fun!” Jane

assured her mother.

This composition is about a girl who is left

at home to babysit her little sibling when

her parents are away. A suitable title could

be Home Alone With The Baby.

Key focus

1. Understanding a system is a whole consisting of parts that work

together to perform a function(s).

2. Examples of systems that allow Man to understand how they operate

and how parts influence and interact with one another to perform a

function.

Lower block

(Primary 3)

1. Brief overview to some organ systems and their

functions(digestive, respiratory, circulatory, skeletal

and muscular).

2. Identity the organs in the human digestive system

and their functions.

Upper block

(Primary 5)

1. Identity the organs in the human respiratory and

circulatory systems and their functions.

2. Recognise the integration of the different systems in

carrying out life processes.
