Regarding the cube question, it was mentioned that 8 cubes were stacked up to form the above figure. If the whole figure is dipped in paint, count the number of cubes that has 4 sides covered with paint.

Help your child manage stress before it's too late.

Based on the figure drawn, and the question drafted, meaning exactly 4 sides with paint,


a cube has 6 sides, so 4 sides with paint also mean 2 sides are covered (not in paint).
Hence my answer is 6 (edited due to oversight) cubes have 4 sides painted.

those cubes with exactly 2 sides stacked, will have exactly 4 sides painted.

Hi


Any parents sent their P6 students to Academia at the start of the year? Wonder if my DS can cope as I understand their curriculum is tough? Any comments or feedback on Academia are welcome. Thanks in advance.

It's Exam fatigue. Don't talk abt exams anymore.


Bring him out for a short treat. Listen to yr child. His body signaling his needs. If yr child used to studying outside type then asked him if he'll like to practice whilst having his favourite waffle or ice-cream, etc. Not all kids can concentrate studying outside tho, mine can't but my niece loves doing work at Toast Box with mum. I massage my kids everynite during exams time to help them relax. Hv yr child learnt stress mgt techniques? Some breathing exercises. This I call caring in action.

In fact, My DS do things quite contrary - when it was CCA stand-down, he continues to go for CCA & do his usual soccer but complain no P6s only P5s to kick ard with. One year, day before exams, I brot my kids for movie to get them relax - mind & soul. They enjoyed so much was ready for last minute paper practice, then bedtime. Ano year, during weekend, I arranged for a Fri stay-over at LegoLand with cousins & back by Sat nite. Then 开车，动工. My friends think I'm crazy to be so chill :siao: , but I think not coz I noticed my kids had been working very hard regularly, so they seemed saturated MUST help them learn to untighten themselves. They're doing very well now. Auto-pilot alr.

So work out yr own way what u think yr child needs. Every child's needs are different. Hope you find a way & apply your measure to help yr child. This weekend is good to snitch a short time to pull yr child together. Don't let him sink into mind cut off & deflate energy. Energize him again even if no time to try anything drastic. Small effort helps too.

Be a friend to your child. Be a living mum. Give your P6 a big hug from aunty here (simply bcoz of his effort to sit for PSLE). Big hug for mummy too, who noticed & in tune to notice his moods & energy. :grphug:

Thanks, Esteema. I will go easy on him this weekend and bring him out to the park for some cycling.

My DC started only at Term 3 because DC marks is always at borderline of 90 - 93. Also DC went in there to have a push for oral practises because DC does not have any Eng tuition at all prior to this. Actually DC does not need any Eng tuition but DC was afraid that he is missing out something. To get him to be steady at 90 - 93 took me over 2 years on my own.

I have spoken to a few mums over there. Most come in at the beginning of the year. They did mentioned at least an improvement of about 8-10 marks.

Languages takes time to see improvement. The time is dependable on the child. Jump from C to B or B to A. But never C to A.That is my opinion.

Shade the sides of each cubes which are not painted. Label each cube of sides painted.

If u managed to get Mr Sherman Tseng, I'm sure yr child hv no problem catching up as he personally analyses which area each student is weak in & coach for unstand'g. But other teachers in same Centre, I cannot comment. Chat with Mr Tseng to follow-up on progress. He's got a heart for P6s. That's our experience.

Heard he dropped teaching Sec sch to focus on P6 to help them.
