Janet88, what do you hope your DD will get?

Promote to p6 to do 3 'standard' subjects...she is exempted from MT.

janet88,


can definitely promote to P6 and do standard subjects, don't have to worry

anyone started \"engine\". After exam, I also feel relaxed and so difficult to start my own engine, but then if I don't start, my DS1 won't start too!

Very hard to get ds to work once after SA2. He’s having a good time playing soccer and ipad.

Scared, just thinking of what is ahead.

I have given her (and myself) 2.5 days to relax. Work begins tomorrow.
Cannot relax too long or it will be harder to get going.

Yes, for my dd. Her maths tuition started last week on p6 topics. From me, I’ve asked her to finish up the balance of the exam papers, 1 paper, 1 subject everyday if possible. So far, only 2 papers done. I don’t want to see her watching TV progs (we don’t have ipad at all, i refused to buy and she cant turn on the computer without my permission) whole day long and so have instructed her to read or do papers. Need to keep the engine going on amongst all the leisure time.

mumto2, can you recommend your Math tutor please? Currently dd is attending lessons at a center which focus on problem sums only. Thinking of looking one tutor to do paper 1 also.

SydneyBB,
Your DS can get 93 for science! Congrats! How did he do it? I find it hard to get hard marks for science, is there any recommendation on method, assessment books or tuition?

Thanks happyheart.
He loves Sci and Maths. Think he is so careless, difficult for him to get more than 95.
He loves to read Young Scientists (I subscribe all levels for him). He also studies from \"Ultimate Science Guide\" book from EPH since sch notes are insufficient.
After he attended a Sci camp in P3 where he did a lot of experiments, he requested to continue their lessons. I think he learns a lot of keywords, answering methods from there.

It is Science Alive in the east.
My son is joining their PSLE Headstart camp this Dec - 2 full days to occupy him.

My son is usually alone at home as both my hubby and I work, so I'm also looking for Chinese or Eng oral camps/lessons for him this Dec.
His sch does not seem to practise a lot on oral. He didn't do well for oral.
Any centre to recommend? Must be in the East as he will need to travel there on his own.

Hi Sydneybb


Thanks. Think too far for them.
