Hi phtthp,thank you for your advice.

This Chinese paper is the last one for Term 1. She worked too hard to prepare for her English and Math papers and now has fallen sick for this Chinese paper. Her Chinese paper will include MCQ comprehension questions instead of open-ended questions. A consolation for me. :xedfingers:

It dawned on me that I have to use the March school holiday to brush up the 1A Han Yu Pin Yin. She has forgotten them. :yikes: how did I know? She did not pull through the Han Yu Pin Yin section when I gave her a set of Mock test paper to do. I don't want to drill too much too or else she hates Chinese. She has interest in Chinese is because she has a passionate Chinese teacher in school whom she adores and is willing to learn Chinese. Her Chinese teacher advice was whether I want to stretch my child further. She sees the potential in her but it all depends on whether my child wants to be stretched for Chinese and how much I want to stretch her.

Luckily there's still so many years away from PSLE to brush up the HYPY. I just take it one step at a time.

my dd Chinese zuo wen weak : because she forgotten how to write so many words, in P1.

This one week March holiday (16 march to 22 march) : plan to retrieve P1 list of commonly used / frequently encountered words from \"我 会 读 , 我 会 写\", give her tingxie at home, help her refresh her memory of basic, P1 words.

han yu pin yin : she got confused with those tricky words that sound alike like zi, zhi, ci, chi, si, shi,
Chinese Paper 1 (zuo wen) : headache !
Paper 2 : can pass.

btw, my P3 friends said P2 Term 2 very fast
if possible, try to let your child practise some P2 Term tests papers, during this March school holiday.

Hi

DD is also weak in HYPY. She had lost some marks in HYPY last year. This year her Chinese teacher (HOD) wants her to do more practices on HYPY!

Wah! All have plans for what to revise in this coming short holiday! :salute:

For my DS, I will engage him into reading more chinese chapters. Currently he is reading aloud 1 chapter per day. I will also try to include HYPY 轻声词语。

Ds2 cl exams came and went without me realizing as I missed the note on change in dates. It didn’t feel like much though as homework is still comingin so he chugs on as usual. He is really looking forward to the March hols.

Gardens by The Bay Art Competition. Just joking.

It's a 4-pictures-competition. Hahaha...ok....it's just an art competition (4 pictures).

I regret not sending my dd for that Gardens by the Bay art competition. It doesn't matter she wins or not. I just want her to get the feel, the experience of being in an art competition and it will enrich her learning, especially when it comes to writing, the child needs lots of real-life experiences that she has been exposed to in order to write well. A great tip that I picked up recently.

I'm on the lookout for art competitions. Anyone knows if there is one? I just want to provide my dd a chance to experience a real art competition.
