One Maths worksheet n one Chinese worksheet. Very few pages type.


I wonder when when when

This is so different from elder boy's PSLE practice adopted by the sch. 4 years apart, vast difference.

Do you mean the homework is less now compared to 4 years ago?

Nightmares.:

Well technically, with social life , hormones AND the exams, kids have it much worse. IMO.

Your menses came?

Nope. But the hormones you feel while going through puberty.

Nightmares.:

Hi, have any of your dc showed signs of stress and/or have broken down because of it?

Hi hi. I think you are a strong child so stress should not be in your vocabulary (mummies, please don't flame me ). I believe you know when to stop to have some break.

Jia you, Nightmares :rahrah:

Thank you. But sometimes in school I'll ut down my pen and go \"I don't want to do anything any more.\"

mummy so kiasu:

[quote=\"beariecrystal3\"]I am also feeling the stress now. My girl didnt do well for her chinese. She is only scoring 59.5/100. How can i help her now

Too near PSLE now & languages take time to see results. Luckily it is still T score system, hope she does well in the rest of the subjects. My son is in Sec 1 now. His weakest subject is Chinese too. Luckily he is strong in Maths & Science.

Language is her worst subjects... Maths and science slightly better only. Just hope for miracle now.[/quote]beariecrystal3, you can check the part she lost her scores the most and improve that part.

But teacher did not return the paper yet, as they have not gone through the answer.

If you want 280, you must work to get it. If you only put 60% effort and get 250, you need to accept it. :snuggles:

you should be able to find out which areas she is more weak through her daily school work. My DS is weak in vocab thus he couldn't understand the comprehension OE passage well.

Ya, since P5

I still remember elder boy's first day at P5 came back with comp writing. Everyday was homework homework homework. And he said he was stressed due to the volume of homework and we had to talk to the FT during the PTM.

Once the momentum set in, it became manageable and he did not show any sign of stress, not even during PSLE period.

Now the sch adopts a different approach. I do not know whether this is good but looking at the PSLE scores since 2009, I think the cohorts after 2009 did not do as well as 2009. Of course, each PSLE year is different and I am unlikely to be right to use different years T-score as a measurement of how well the sch has prepared its PSLE pupils.
