12mum:

Absolutely no time for revision everyday except sun which should be his rest day (we have yet to do work on this day).


When cca and supplementary classes begin, definitely no eyes see.

Trying a strike a balance but is feb already.

Seems that most kids are being stretched in P6. However, I heard that there were some schools that are staying very calm and still giving breathing space to their students. Hardly any supplementary lessons yet. I've complained about the time taken for supplementary. But I think if there's none, I'll end up feeling uneasy. :oops:

Janet,
Just take the school h/w as part of PSLE revision. It really is. And the materials will be superior to those we get from Popular as the sch should be experienced enough to know what makes the system tick.

Mine watch k drama to de-stress

Does yours still play the piano? Mine plays the piano like siao nowadays. I think he's feeling the stress. :nailbite:

Irabbit,

My daughter here is different from your junior.
She needs to revise lower block topics because she can really forget. So I pick topics like magnets, heat, states of matter…because some are ‘independent’ topics while others are related to upper block. If you have a child with short memory/forgetful, it’s never ending.

When she is stressed, she plays her type of music on the speaker or in the car…not my cup of tea but just bear with her in the meantime.
She will also ask for chocolate or ice cream…anything sweet.

I see. Looks like every kid has his own challenges. We just have to keep trying. What to do? We can't abandon our kids right?

[janet88]

Some kids will find the increased volume of work a breeze, some will struggle but still get it done, some just do for the sake of doing, some crumble under the workload.


You are right, irabbit…these are our kids. We just have to do what we can…but never give up on them.

Just asked the school. My gal’s school no supp classes till July (once a week, I don’t think it’s meant for everyone). June holis 3 days and Sep holis 3 days compulsory for everyone. For those that require remedial, this has already started, in fact, started since P5. Is this usual or is the school expected to give more supp classes?

ok is supp class meant to speed up and wrap up the syllabus or in-depth teaching? School commented that they can finish the P6 syllabus by SA1.

supp class is supposed to supplement what is taught during curriculum.
at last briefing, it was mentioned that P6 syllabus will complete mid term 3 followed by revision.
