buds:
The booklets are from HPB. The A4 size is for students. The A5 size is for parents. I found the tips in the booklets quite useful such as how to deal with bullying in sec school. I am grateful that govt gave us something to prepare for sec school for inexperienced parents like me

Kudos! :celebrate:
icy_mama, finally DS got sports events competition. Yay! Baseball, captain ball and soccer. DS's school must have read your post and then they :idea: (yup. DS's school reads KSPicy_mama:
dd's school organised sports events as competition for all p6 classes. they have captain ball, basketball, frisbee, soccer, floorball etc. so their time are mostly spent outdoors. last week, they had learning journey to little india. following week, to the yog museum. not a dull moment at all. so far, no homework. she looked forward to every day at school. she's gonna miss her friends terribly.
)
I think the school put effort in making these 7 weeks full of activities. They try to keep the children busy with CIP, learning journey, making scrapbook, plan for year end book, learn zoomba (although DS's class missed it due to CIP), plan for year end fund raising, etc.
Kudos to our DC's schools! :salute:
Dang I gotta hint to all DDs school teachers to come here. :razz: -
buds, if your DD2 is strong in Maths, I think just let her do top school past year papers would be enough. I found Maths assessment books are rather boring. The top school past year papers give more variety in the type of challenging questions.
-
She's just ok babe. Strong, I don't think so. :oops: Some assessment books give sufficient insights going by topic which can help her (and myself) to single out or zoom in on the areas that requires more looking into before the class drifts off to the next topic.
Top school papers offer a great stretch, I agree. However because the syllabus in top schools seem to move faster than neighbourhood schools like where she's in, it sometimes (esp when we first started on top sch papers) distracted her a bit. But she would still attempt them nevertheless, without (that much) complains.
She is in HA class and workload is heavy. She can manage a good pass playing on her consistency for most of the better times. On and off when she's up for it, we go for that little stretch. Bit by bit. As and when. But this is possible only because she is a more conscientious learner, to which I am already pretty happy with. :love: -
buds,
I’m helping a fren to buy a copy this wk. If you need help I can buy and mail to you
Just to add.
If my suggestion abt the other resource cause you to think that I doubt your kids’ abilities, I apologise. -

Asked DS about the booklets. He slowly broke into a cheeky smile and said,\"They can never be found again.\"... :nosebleed:
