Hello Lock,

Howz the past 2 months for your dd? I do feel that there is still a lot of homework to be done every week. Basically, every week is very packed plus a couple of days of staying back.

Now, they have to study 4 subjects so it is beginning to be very tough for the girls plus the fact that they really have to study extra for the Science because textbook notes seems to be not enough to prepare them for the CA1.

My friend’s dd in Nanhua does not have CA1, how I envy her…

Yah. Homework has increased. My girl struggles with Chinese this yr. The teacher teaches very fast, 1 wk 1 chapt. More words to learn. Spelling also becomes more difficult.


As for science, so far she is quite ok with the subject. Maybe this is due to her teacher giving them quite a fair bit of worksheets to do.

She is staying back 4x a wk. But this wk, i have decided to pull her out of the Chinese supp on Wed cos she said the class is super noisy, like the kids are having a party. The teacher who teaches supplementary is not their own Chinese teacher. She said that she did not learn anything during supp. I would rather she comes home early to rest than to waste her time in sch not learning anything.

How's the workload like in Peace? I heard Ms Phang is a good teacher.

Hi Lock,


I feel that she has a lot of Maths worksheets and questions are quite challenging at times. English is ok, not as much as Maths but quite loaded as well as Spelling is diffiuclt. I do not think she has a lot of Science worksheets to do as compared to the rest. I think she has not much homework for Chinese. I did not let my girl attended the Chinese supplementary class or the Chinese Drama asI think it will not help her in any way.

Now, she has to stay back for three days/wk and I already feel very stressful for her. Often she has no time to finish her homework as she still have tuitions and ballet lesson on some weekdays.

As according to my girl, she likes her form teacher and she is good. She conducts Maths lessons quite fast and my girl said even faster than Hope.

I am quite worried for my girl’s English. Do you have any good English enrichment to recommend?

I coach my dd myself on English, so I do not know of any good enrichment. But from word of mouth, British Council, Morris Allen and Julia Gabriel seem to provide quality lessons.

Just as I guess, my girl did badly for CA1 English, think she will get kick out of their current class liao for next year if this continues on. Any idea what is the highest scores for your dd class for the 4 subjects.

Think need to get my girl to work hard on the weak subjects. The teacher had to do a last minute rush for the science and suddenly she had to do worksheets almost 1-2 days before the CA1 and during the CA1 such that I had not much time to do revision with her. Too short a time for me to do a proper revision.

Luckily still got chance to try harder for SA1. May try also to apply her for learning lab (provided can be accepted) to see if her English standard can be improved.

I am referring to papers alone. My gal’s class highest for English is 47, science is 46 (quite low i think so i curious to know how did your gal’s class fare for this subject) and Maths is 50. As for Chinese, they go for different class but heard that 5 got full marks for your gal’s class?

[Lock]

In her class, highest for Eng paper is 47/50, Eng compo is 28/30. Maths is full marks and 14 of them in the class has full marks. CL is 49.5/50. Science is 48/50.

Hi Lock, thanks for the kind sharing. I got one correction to make. DD said highest for English is now 48 (may be she was confused with all the marks :? ). And her class only 1 got full marks for Maths. So your dd class is really good with so many full marks and cheers for those girls, did so well! :celebrate: For CL, my gal only goes to the average class and 1 got full marks. My gal said her friend said H class got 5 full marks, so I am not sure the info is correct and H class highest for compo is 20, full marks, not sure how many of them achieved that.
