mistyy:
My gal got her first p2 Chinese show and tell topic (Chinese New yr) yesterday! The heat is on! Wonder how many are they going to do this yr...
My dd has an informal Show and Tell practice in class last week during Chinese lesson about ”I grow up\" 我长大了。
Last year P1 term 1 there was practically no homework. This year P2 homework has been coming in since week 1. Can feel the heat is on too. -

Firstly, I do not have THE \"Exam Food Recipe\" though I wish I could have. My exam food recipe must have one main ingredient. That is \"happiness\". Ok, I know this is a serious question. :imanangel:

Then again, when my dd took her PSLE the year before, nutrition played a huge part to make that brain juice flow better.
Could you share with us your Exam Food Recipe?
What kinds of food will make brain think/focus better? Fish, gingko nuts, what else?
What kinds of food must be avoided, so that the child is not groggy or hyper?
This is a serious question! :imanangel:
Tks!
Why \"happiness\"? For my dc, food is important to them. They live to eat. As much as I hate to say it, they turn to food for solace, like they did, as a baby, when they turned to the breasts. It's natural for them. So in this crucial exam time, what I could help was to give them their favorite food. And that's it. In fact, ginkgo nuts, fish oils, good for brain, but I avoided cos dd doesn't like. But fish, she's ok, so that gets served. Chicken essence, herbal tea, good to nourish the body and brain... No, no, cos my dd would have puked them all out.. Potato chips, chocolates, etc. to avoid... But that would have made her happy to plough on, so, i gave. But in moderation, and that was key. Everything in moderation and this way, food gets translated into happiness and then, into fuel for the brain.
Another important ingredient that helped my dd through was manuka honey of umf 20+. She almost lost her voice just before PSLE oral and that saved her voice. So, I think, it's good to have a bottle around.[/quote]Icy, do u have a pic of the manuka honey? -

But other level like P6 : got a lot of 2014 P6 Test papers found.
or 2013 P2 : also a lot of Test papers

Piggies not affected by those new changes to Han Yu pin yin (hypy) : first letter for Pronoun in hypy must start with a capital letter. Eg : names of a person, names of places, beginning of chinese character. They escape this change.
Only 2008 kids & beyond, are impacted by these first character in Upper case, for hypy.
Confirmed by my school's Chinese HOD.
But, piggies are impacted by Chinese Oral part.
They need to watch a moving picture video clip, remember in detail what they had seen in the video, then answer some questions asked.
No more watching a still picture, for Oral component. -

Very interesting alternative view, icy!! :hugs: The economics of children's happiness can be rather complex and happiness indices are impacted by a myriad of tangible and non-tangible variables, e.g. food eaten with whole family (family bonding), sports /outdoor activities done as a family, hols with the family, social stability, homework load, etc .
I was looking more at the tangible nutrition facts rather than the metaphysics
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: Need to revisit ds' dinner menu, in case ds buys \"comfort food\" during recess time like chee cheong fun, and shuns leafy veggies at basc! :stupid:
Yes yes, I do have Manuka Honey UMF 25+, etc. -
1. Brain Food: Salmon
Fatty fish, such as salmon, is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids that are needed for brain growth and function. Getting enough of these fatty acids can help kids improve their mental skills.
Make salmon sandwiches (on whole wheat bread) instead of tuna for a healthy alternative.
2. Brain Food: Eggs
Eggs are a great source of protein, and their yolks have choline, an important nutrient for memory development.
Try a homemade breakfast burrito, loaded with veggies for a quick and healthy breakfast before school.
3. Brain Food: Peanut Butter
Kids love peanut butter, and that's a good thing since this healthy snack is packed with vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects nerve membranes. It also has thiamin, which is good for the brain, and glucose which gives energy.
Peanut butter makes a great dip for fruits such as bananas, and for veggies such as celery.
4. Brain Food: Whole Grains
Whole grains such as breads and cereals provide glucose, an energy source the brain needs. Whole grains also contain B vitamins, which are good for the nervous system.
Add whole grains to most meals by switching to whole grain breads, wraps, and crackers.
5. Brain Food: Oats/Oatmeal
Oats and oatmeal are excellent sources of energy and brain \"fuel.\" Oats are packed with fiber to help keep kids feeling full so they don't snack on junk food. They are also an excellent source of vitamins E, B complex, and zinc to help kids' brains work their best.
Oatmeal can be a base for almost any topping such as apples, bananas, blueberries or even almonds.
6. Brain Food: Berries
Berries can help improve memory and are packed with vitamin C and other antioxidants. Seeds from berries also contain omega-3 fats that help with brain function. Look for strawberries, cherries, blueberries, and blackberries - the more intense the color of the berry, the more nutrition it has.
Berries can be used in smoothies or just as they are for healthy snacks or desserts.
7. Brain Food: Beans
Bean, beans, good for the heart� so the saying goes. They are also good for kid's brains since they have energy from protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins and minerals. They can keep energy levels high. Kidney and pinto beans are good choices as they contain more omega-3 fatty acids that other bean varieties, which are important for brain growth and function.
Add beans as a salad topper, as filler for lettuce wraps, or even add them to spaghetti for a more nutritious meal.
8. Brain Food: Colorful Veggies
Vegetables with rich, deep color are an excellent source of antioxidants to keep the brain cells healthy. Some veggies to include in your child's diet are tomatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, or spinach. It's easy to sneak veggies into spaghetti sauces or soups.
Replace potato or corn chips in your child's lunch with baked sweet potato wedges or easy-to-snack-on veggies such as sugar snap peas or baby carrots.
9. Brain Food: Milk & Yogurt
B vitamins are necessary for growth of brain tissue, neurotransmitters, and enzymes, and dairy products are a good source for these nutrients. Low fat milk or yogurt is great sources of protein and carbohydrates foe the brain. Dairy is also an excellent source of vitamin D, which children and teens need in greater amounts than adults.
Low-fat cheese sticks make a great to-go snack and are a good source of calcium.
10. Brain Food: Lean Beef (or Meat Alternative)
Lean beef or meat alternatives are excellent sources of iron, which helps kids maintain energy and focus in school. Beef is also a good source of zinc, which aids memory. Vegetarian kids can get their iron from black bean and soy burgers. Beans have what is called nonheme iron, which needs vitamin C to be absorbed so have them eat their veggie burgers or beans with good sources of vitamin C such as peppers or orange juice.
Grilled lean-meat kabobs or grilled black bean burgers make a tasty and healthy alternative to regular hamburgers and hotdogs for your next barbeque.

comrades,
We should also start to buy a big A4 sized file, get ready to collect any certificate to help our piggies build up portfolio, to present for DSA interview, in 2019 P6 July / August.
We have time, from now until next 4 years, to help them consolidate their portfolio.
piggies who have yet to start a Cca :
time to explore which Cca is suitable.
