Hi,

Any parents know whether SA1 covers all PSLE syllabus in your school? Or are there topics yet to be taught by school and hence excluded from SA1? Thanks.

Depends on schools. Most schools will have only 1-2 chapters not taught, and SA1 is all topics from P3-6.

DS SA1 timetable is out also. No registration slip so far.


As expected his CA1 scores were lack-lustre. School teachers told him and other students in his CCA off for missing classes and producing sub-optimal results for CA1. Those who failed were even threatened by some teachers that they would be banned from playing in future matches.

But it is difficult to produce stellar results when you have a number of matches on exam days. Besides, no effort was made before the exams to help these kids who missed lessons and has less time to revise. After all they are playing for the school, no? IMHO yelling at them after the results come back is actually not very useful.

We have put this behind us. March hols is a time for rest, watching Zootopia and Kung Fu Panda 3 and hopefully doing a bit of work on the weaker areas.

Take care all and happy March hols!!!

Hi all, any of your kids having supplementary classes next week, during the school holidays?


My dd will be having Math lesson on Mon for 3 hours. I guess it is a consequence of the not-so-good CA results. I asked dd how about other classes. She said one of the other classes will be there for 4 hours.

No supp class heard of in March. Gal has 3 CCA days from Mon-Wed 830-1230 plus tons of holi hw plus the usual weekend activities. That’s enough to keep her busy. We plan to bring kids out to chill perhaps in later part of the week.
