E3,

When my son was in P1 & 2, the nights were spent doing hw while mornings would be for revision. Had maid then, so left her to cook lunch.
Last yr in P3, he had shower/lunch/short rest b4 starting his homework. Then he had a nap. Nights are for revision/learning spelling.
With the increase in homework this year, sometimes he has to take a nap b4 he can continue with his school work in the evening. I tell him to sleep if he cannot continue. No point forcing himself to finish and yet do everything wrongly.

Hi Janet, that is very good arrangement . Too bad i am working, never have enough time to coach my children. very wasted...

I am doing that now. Homework takes priority so will complete in the evenings. The following morning will be for others. Sometimes, just doing homework takes up the almost the whole evening...like when journal, Chinese compo and Math etc. are given. Shouldn't complain I guess, think the upper Pri is worse.

Donkey,

As a full time working mum, it’s hard for you to coach. Don’t be too hard on yourself. The grass is always greener on the opposite pasture…There are days when I wish I am working and given a chance to breathe outside…a chance to go on leave or have coffee with colleagues.

E3,
My son did most of his work in school when he was in P2. I checked his work and had to erase them because they were so many mistakes or else the handwriting was atrocious.
This year, on those days when he has PE, I have to let him sleep because he is so tired and then continue at night. Although morning session sounds like more time, but it isn’t really so if the child has CCAs, enrichment lessons and tuition for few subjects.

Hi Mummies,

My son came home with the donation card yesterday. Don’t know if the info is correct, but the teacher said the donations will be for the construction of a new school nearby just for P1 and 2.
He also added that it will not be a big school but just for lower primary as all primary schools have to go single-session by 2016 and existing school cannot take in P1-6.

Hi, they give out this same donation card every year. It is not just for the new building. It is mentioned in the card what it is for.

Dyh,

I told my son to donate from his red packets.
He said this year’s donation card is not just for the existing school but also for the new building. Anyway, just donate what we can since it’s the thought that counts.

BTW mummies, have you done the survey in Lead.com ?
It’s regarding the bookshop vendor.

Hi

How do I login to this Lead Portal? Is it on the front page of the school website or another website? cos I tried using the login ID and password but keep getting the incorrect username and password error message.

Thanks

I went into the website but survey not there. The letter provided is not complete in terms of steps. This is what I did.

1) Go to school website: http://www.phpps.moe.edu.sg/
2) Click on LEAD Logo at bottom right corner.
3) Key in ID (your child's ID) and password (learning). School ID is PHPPS.
4) Click on \"View My Assignment\" on left-hand side.

Thank you for the steps. Managed to get in already.

My son came back with loads of homework for the long CNY weekend. Completed English worksheets in school...finished Math before he slept. Still has Science and Chinese worksheets to be done.


Was talking to a friend who has 2 kids in Pei Hwa - her son is in P5 and P4 daughter happens to be my son's classmate this year. Was telling her that the 1 1/2 months since school reopened feels like a long time bcos son's workload increased so much this year. She told me her boy didn't have this much homework when he was in P4 last year. P5 will be worse on and on top of that supplementary lessons 2x a week
My daughter will be in P1 next year...I don't want to think about next year. :?: :?: This year is pressurizing enough.
