I don't think I can ever get my DC to start their engines this holiday. Even my engine has gone cold. After the exams, I finally felt the relief...no school stress, exam stress, spelling stress, assessment stress. I really felt the peace and calm.

I know what you mean. I feel super relieved after SA2 because it is the final exam for the year. but I cannot let go completely...maybe towards Christmas, I will let the kids enjoy.

janet, how did your dd fare overall for this year (if you don’t mind me asking) ?

Yes, best to enjoy the year end holiday break n then be recharged for 2015.


Everyone - mummies n children ALL deserve a rest.

I know my DS2. Give him 2 days' break and he is still okay to go back to school. Give him 5 weeks without doing anything, his engine will stall for the longest time, hard to get him to do work ...and will hear him saying 'I wish it is still holiday!'

I usually have him do one piece of work a day during school holiday but read lots of books. I have also engaged a chinese tutor to get him started on 作文 during holiday, hopefully he can pick up as much as possible. Talking about 作文。。。 :slapshead:

Ur ds ok with such hol work? Mine, i got to negotiate hard, bcos he said every piece of work he does for me means he has less time to play and i shd not \"eat into\" his play time bcos he's supposed to rest....
Actually i give him a lot of freedom during hols, play dates, soccer dates, sleepovers, all he ask, i usu say ok, but when i 要求他做几篇作业only, he complain, complain....his tutor tell me p5 dec hol cannot let go, must let engine continue...... :nailbite:

Other than tutor going for holiday, I still want 2 hours of work done daily. But on the 4 Saturdays when tutor will be away, it is also fun time for them...and for me :evil:

Dd submitted her option form for subject banding for next year.

Time flies, from submitting her P1 registration to this P5 option form… in no time, we will be registering her for PSLE.

Dd made marginal improvement in math. . 0.5marks. CL2 by 1mark. Science and English improved by 5 marks each… her EL compo did not improve though, still one of the lowest in class.

Dear Mummies, must we keep all textbooks, workbooks, worksheets for revision in PSLE? Now that the year is over, I feel like throwing them away to clear space

We are going to do exactly this.
Maybe I'll keep the P3/P4 OnSponge and Getmethinking Maths books for another year.
