Hi,

My DS is having PSLE in 2017 too.
He didn’t do well for his Eng and Sci SA2 - dropped of about 10 marks from SA1, I’m worried but he doesn’t want help from my hubby or me. He doesn’t want tuition too. What should I do?
I’ve already let him play most of this holiday.
DS doesn’t read above magazines. Must he? His school didn’t ask him to buy or read.

A blessed 2016 to everyone!


New school year starts today! P5 marks the commencement of the PSLE preparation. Consistency is the key! Not only students need to be consistent with their work, parents also need to be consistent in guiding their kids.

All the best to all parents and P5ers!

Hi venus


Yes, My kids do read ys
I think it is quite a good magazine. some common info/outside classroom's topic are in that magazine.
Reader Digest/National Geographic/newspaper, I am trying out on my P5 girl.
Is suppose to be good for \"comprehension cloze\" but i not sure how \"good\" is it haha...

My p5 girl dun like tuition too but still ok to let me guide her.
Hopefully her result can maintain this yr , if not after SA1 shld start to source for tutor ..

All the best to P5 kids ! Good start of year!

Hi all,


Happy New Year! A new school term has started! May all our kids enjoy school and new challenges!

1. Just want to quickly check, my daughter is in HMT. Does anyone know if we still need to buy assessment or past year papers for normal MT? Or focus only on HMT?

2. May I know which secondary schools will she be able to opt for given that she has extra points for HMT?

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi Reenie,

1. I bought both types for my ds as both have different exam formats.
2. SAP schools such as NYGH, St Nicks, RVHS, DHS, Nan Hua High, etc.

Hi,


My son’s school is organising an overseas learning journey to Brunei this year. Not really sure should let him go or not. A bit worried about safety issues but he’s quite keen to go. Anyone else going on overseas learning journey?
