:hugs: we have alot to learn from one another here!

2 major exams for my kids next year, DD O level and DS Psle.... Hahaha. ... stay chill and cool!!

i went through that last year. the focus is more on the younger taking psle as it's her first time taking major exam. reinforce lower block science and start on new p6 topics this year end holiday so that there is more time for revision. CA1 should be just after CNY.

it's going to be a crazy year ahead but once done with psle, the focus will be on older one. take care!

Thank you for your advices Janet88. Appreciate that. Agree that there's nothing much we can do for the older ones except just be there for them.

New P6 topics for science and maths?
Any mummies here have good advices on EL and MT compo?
:thankyou:

New P6 topics for science and maths?

yes, there are new topics to be taught for MT, Math & Science in P6...so if possible, start teaching this year end and try to complete all by end May...kids may be required to attend supplementary lessons in june, so if you are planning revision schedule, you may have to factor that in.

Hi hi, may I know generally which subjects and how to revise during this holidays? Previously, we didn't revise anything at all during year-end holidays except for one subject during P4 which DC was below average. First time psle mom here :oops:


Specifically for Chinese, how to improve on作文?

Please share your experience. :thankyou:

revise on lower block science starting from diversity...many students tend to forget what has been taught in p3. if possible, complete entire lower block science and also what was taught in p5. this is for science.
also work on math topics and reinforce...if child is strong in math, start on p6 topics so that you won't be flustered with CA1 when school reopens...looks like CNY next year will be kind of burnt.

the timeline for p6 is to complete the entire syllabus by end may so that june can be spent revising everything which has been taught. schools should be throwing out past year exam papers in aug.

I just finished PSLE prep with DD1, have yet to collect her results and fully recovered from PSLE stress, now already started DD2’s PSLE prep for next year.


I really hate PSLE as it really turns my hair white. I hope this time round it will be less stressful as I am now an experienced PSLE parent

Ya! Must take care of yourself. Didn't realized you've DD2.

I've issues of thinning & white hair. Can't re-instate dropping ones :gloomy: but I use henna mixed with coffee powder to achieve a younger looking lock. :imcool:

Indeed, you're now an experienced veteran KSP mum, so graduating fr KSP label liao right? Congrats! Tell your DD2, she just hv to follow strictly all your plan & she's as good as 姐姐. :snuggles:

Does your DC hv tuition for Chinese?

I used P6 汪老师 to revise all Oral & 作文 topics. Then I combine similar topics to guide DC to learn to apply flexibly all the 成语, 词语, 好句好词 given in the 汪 worksheets. They've so many topics for not Oral & 作文 which I told my kids can apply interchangeably. I find just asking kid to memorize, they don't learn to be flexible to apply.

Save my headache to search for topics & materials to revise.

Sorry but what is 汪老师? A tuition Centre? My DS no tuition for all subjects, trying to work out a holiday schedule for him to work on…hehe. .
