We don’t want kids to indulge in talking abt what’s past. We’re alr out of Spore & into 5th day of our trip. Kids must be swept off their feet fr that pressuring exams and rewarded for all their hard work. As usual, we’re peppering the trip with readings of 红罗梦 & 西域记. They get to hv 15 min of screen games daily, btwn tour spots. So far we did rafting, Ferris wheels, Science, Arts & Cultural museums, & maglev rides. Will be going to the quiet mountains & beaches tmr. They’ve to help learn to topo(graphy) for next pit stops, etc. I’ve only learnt these skills during my young adulthood, not earlier. Think they like the lifeskills & experience.


The past cannot be retracked. Please move on & engaged your young ladies & chaps with new outdoor experiences.

Wish every child a relaxing time after your major exams!

Work hard, play hard.

Refer to the P6 booklet given, to help you choose Secondary schools ?


Look at their COP, narrow down those better Secondary schools around your area, so that your child Sec 1 next year, don't have to waste time travelling so far to and fro, everyday.

Next year, Sec 1 : one big change they face is : no more 4 subjects. Become 8, is a different ball game.
Time management, is crucial

the booklet of secondary schools should have been issued. be positive and move on. PSLE is over. this is the first milestone. there are many more to come. next year, you will breathe a sigh of relief and tell yourself, 'i've been through this.'
go through the booklet and shortlist schools based on COP...for eg 200-205, school 1, 2, 3. 206-210 school 1,2,3.

secondary 1 is totally different from primary school. there is english, MT, math, science, history, geography, literature, art, D&T. school hours are longer and subjects are tougher. time is very precious everyday. oh yes, there is also CCA and some CCAs may be held twice or 3x a week. after a long day in school, there is homework which is due the next day. do choose secondary schools carefully.

Hi MyPillow


Thanks. That means it is a norm for different schools to be selected then.

They are going to have to do Maths this week and there was no information from schools on the purpose of such practice. Now I can be assured it’s a norm. Thanks

The Secondary School Education Booklet has been distributed today. I'm sure kids shld look fwd to consider the vast options. Don't focus on worries. Focus on interests & putting up various options, ready for putting name on option forms to go!

红楼梦 and 西游记, don't show your DC your Chinese.
But I don't think they can understand and enjoy 红楼梦. Yours is boy, right? Try 三国, they may like and need to learn in S1.

[Estéema]

Yes. Hv not started on 三国. Maybe by next Monday, after these books. Unless he gets too tired fr Disney & USJ.
