Yes, I do agree and find that the jump this year, from p4 - 5 is huge. Both in terms of work load and subject difficulty.


My son too,did rather badly for CA1. He's not going for any tuition at the moment - he loved his leisure time and we also believe in a balanced approach, with play an important part of childhood. However, I have told him, if he cannot get back to the groove and to his previous standard (or closer to) by SA1, we might have to start him on some tuition already.

At p5, the mummy (aka me) is waking up and becoming kiasu

How was his results in p4?
If he was in the high 80s and above band, then it's still very safe.
If he was in the 70ish band, then better revisit those stumbling blocks of p4 and fix them.

Piling them with more P5 work when they are still weak in some areas of p4 work is like putting more levels onto a weak foundation...more cracks will appear unless the lower levels are strengthen first.

too early to discuss PSLE preparation for now…for daughter, strengthen her foundation at p5 first…after all, not much teaching at p6. so far, she is doing ok…passing her subjects after MT exemption but definitely can improve more.

hi EatNonStop,

I used to plan weekly schedules but it is difficult to stay on track as she goes upper primary. so now I have to micro-manage on a daily scale.
make the schedule flexible in case the teacher decides to give more homework than the usual, especially over a long weekend.

But P5 has to stay back twice a week for supplementary and another day for cca, by the time they reached home, they have to rest then complete school homework. It seems quite hard to squeeze out time for revision esp they have to go to bed early.
