sleepy,

teacher assigned assessment book for june?
thought schools are not ‘allowed’ to recommend titles.
after the 3 weeks of hard work, kids can enjoy last week of june holiday.

[ctct61t]

Only 2 days left for June holiday. The next 3 months will be the most struggle period.

Thought 7 days?
Next 3 months will be intensive...work very hard so as not to have any regrets and 'if only'. All the best. You can do it!

I'm sweating too.
This week is last one of June. Schools will intensify next week. Drink more water and rest...weather is super hot.

Thank you, Janet..

DS didn't achieve much during this June holiday.. Didn't do any Exam Papers, except those given by teachers as holiday homework..

This week will be back to school everyday, and clearing daily homework (same as 1st week)..

wow firefly38, your dc school very hardcore, 2 weeks of extra lessons!!

[JRexpress]

is it realistic to plan for dc can complete 1 practice paper per day (during school weekdays) come Aug/Sep? will the school work be heavy as ever?

[lurline]

I am hoping that the school don’t give them too much hw

But I believe the school should to ensure everyone is equally prepared and less reliant on external help, incl from parents. That being said, maybe they can make it optional, ie, parents can decide whether to complete the hw or not.
