NTUC can only donate textbooks right? I don't have many textbooks (only HCL) but tons of worksheets or completed assessment books. How to dispose the worksheets/assessment books other than through recycling bins?
I plan to just throw them away but it is a good idea to discard them to those big recycling bin.

So fast you prep Sec 1 materials for your DD already? :yikes:
Yup, glad that its over,happyheart:
So glad that PSLE is finally over :rahrah: ! Have you thrown out all the school files and worksheets?
Anyone know when is the open date for NTUC donation? I have packed the files and will dispose them over the weekend. Not keeping for DD 2 who is only 4. Parents who are working with your kids for SA 2, all the best!
DD agreed to start looking at her sec 1 materials after a break of 3 weeks. In the meantime, will let her enjoy the break. In fact, will be bringing her to legoland during the psle marking days. She is a real lego fan! -
Dear parents,
I am an educator, and has been helping needy students who needed academic assistance.
I would like to suggest donating your used resources to charitable resources, such as NTUC.
Alternatively, if you are thinking of donating your P6 resources, let me know if it is fine to pass to me, so that I can pass to my needy students.
Please drop me a PM, and I shall get back to you.
Regards,
Eric

A gentle reminder to PSLE parents…
Do let your kids enjoy themselves, but please do so in moderation. The biggest mistake we tend to make is to believe that PSLE marks the end of the battle. In reality, it is the beginning of an even bigger battle. The first tests your children will encounter in Secondary One will happen within a month after school starts (ie. in February), and the work will keep piling up really fast from then onwards. Your child in Secondary school will also be more distracted due to CCA and other extra-curricular commitments. Where they only need to worry about 4-5 subjects in Primary 6, they now have to handle up to 8 subjects in Secondary school. It is not unusual for top PSLE students to fail their first mathematics or science tests in Secondary school. It can be a rude awakening then.
In other words, every effort your child spend NOW, in preparing for Secondary One, will help to relieve their stress in Secondary school. You need to instill discipline in them to manage their own time. Go get some Secondary One materials. Get them to prepare their own daily schedule with slots for play, exercise, enrichment, housework, and familarising themselves with the Secondary One topics. More importantly, encourage them to stick to their time table.
Time will fly past really, really fast. Before you know it, your children will be in Secondary school. -

ChiefKiasu:
I have to say that I disagree. I have never agreed in \"teaching ahead\" so giving them secondary school materials now is something that I don't agree with. Especially when we don't know what school they will be going to or even which stream they will be in. Most of them have sacrificed their life to PSLE for most of the year so I think they deserve their afternoons to do their own thing now and to enjoy their December holidays.A gentle reminder to PSLE parents...

I have just told my daughter that she mustn't neglect her Chinese as we do not speak it at home so I am going to force her to go to the library and borrow some books (any recommendations welcomed!). Other than that, she has Think+ magazine (the secondary school version of Young Scientist) which she hasn't read all year so I will ask her to catch up on that. She is a big reader (in English) so I know she will have her nose in a book a lot of the time.
She will also be catching up on her ballet and music classes that she missed over the last few months then hanging out with her friends and, once school finishes, with her brothers.
