You no go holiday or shopping ah?[/quote]No Must send and fetch son from school. I have been cracking my head the whole day learning Science answering technique (still haven't figured it out until now). Also, I have to prepare the answer to 3 problem sums that DS doesn't know how to do.

I remember seeing a post that you will go for holiday. When will you go for holiday? I think very few of us are active at KSP. It gets very lonely here...

So quiet..until I feel that I am the only one 'stuck' at home and surfing KP!

I am here ah.

Busy day - doing bookkeeping, housework, coaching later.

Tmr can go out - shopping before the breast mammogram apt in Orchard. Then rush back home.

Ng12010,

Wow!..you can work out the answers... :salute: I like to do it too but I am a Maths Idiot. :rahrah: Yes, we are going away third week of June,that is why I have been chasing Both DS to complete their work by week 2. I find myself a nag because I have to keep reminding them or the two of them will play non-stop! Haiyo...P6 DS is not productive with Maths hw leh.. also no stamina to do so many in one day. P3 DS is a 'victim' because I cannot let him be idle whenever DS1 is working...so DS2 also work :evil:

I 'conditioned' DS2 to work hard, esp for Maths since we are having so much Maths problems with DS1. My DS2 is quite competitive in nature..scared lost to his friends and go to last class, so it work well for him :evil:
DS2 need not go back until last week.

Am around too...

Likewise, DD is also in P3. I'm thankful that she not only does not mind doing some work, she tries to do well. I hope her motivation and enthusiasm rub off on DS.

This June holiday, let the kids chill a little…come July, schools will start pumping harder. For kids taking PSLE this year, next time this year, you will be breathing easier. My son told me he was stressed out starting June 2012…as well as Sep 1 week. Until now, the nightmare of PSLE preparation is still etched in his mind.

Hi, ngl2010


When answering science question, the kid must assume that the marker know nothing, not even a single knowledge. Sometime, i went through the answer with my DD, she will urge with me that dont need to state as it is common sense. But i told her, the marker and I do not have any. Example : fish breathe oxygen through its gill. But she miss out 'the dissolved oxygen in the water'. Another example she just made yesterday: Less competition of food with organism A, thus organism A population will increase. She missed out ' There will be more food for organism A'.

Hope this help.

I found that it was more helpful to tell my child \"the examiner wants you to show that you know xxx\", the \"xxx\" being the key points of that topic or the logical reasoning she followed. Based on the notes and guides, the child should be aware what those key points are. Telling the child that the examiner knows nothing could (for the literal-minded) also mean having to say that a fish is creature that lives in water with scales, gills etc, and that oxygen is a gas etc.
