A Primary 2 Pupil’s Comments

“Assessment is not like a test, so scary. I can show my teacher what I can do and what I

understand from the lesson. My teacher can also tell me immediately what mistakes I make. I like

to be able to show my way of solving a problem.”

Marcus Yeo, P2, Fairfield Methodist (Primary)
