Hi, like to have a general check how other schools drill their P6 students for their psle.
My child starts school as early as 7.10am for an early self study session thou not compulsory but then sometimes the teachers do go thru some work during this session. After that is the normal school hours till 2.10pm. Then they have 1.5 hours supplementary for each subject from Monday to Thursday. By the time they reach home is 4pm+,with 1 to 3
homework to complete, sometime to hand in the next day, sometime 2 days.
Is the above normal for P6 students in other schools?

I can only share for my child's school only. No morning study session. School hours as per normal. He has only one Supplementary a week. Homework manageable, maybe slightly more for some Fridays/weekends. He still have time for his personal activities.

Sounds good. Does this applies only to yr dc's class or whole level be it strong or weaker students also just stay back once a week? for my school, the whole level needs to stay back but weaker students for certain subjects might have to stay back an extra hr on another day for remedial on top of supp classes.


I think my school is stepping up after seeing their cohort's less than ideal results during their recent SA1. Used to be super relax in P5 . P6 term 1 and 2, stayed back twice a week instead of almost everyday like now. Nowadays also have some talks so need to stay back too...

[MrsKiasu]

tryourbest, your dd is lucky that school is stepping up its efforts this year…our side, after sa1 result, seems there is some small movements in the supp class. Also I remember there will be targeted remedial/supp class for certain students later on if I m not wrong.

I keep hearing ur dd do online studies, I wonder how she does it haha...u mean she goes online to read up or those like mconline etc? My dd never do online studies, all hardcopies.

Peace is good, nowadays I also more peace cos dd simply don't have as much time to sit down with me to go through extra work. Compare to previous years, this year revise lesser together.

[MrsKiasu]

yes those mconline/koolbits and also the chinese one…all school kids using those I believe… I m not sure abt the level of difficulties… but my guess is those should be not that difficult as in like those top sch papers right? I always tell dd to have more varieties mah…coz papers got different application type of qns?


to add …i think also because of 2 in 1 as she likes to listen to initially soothing piano music but now upgrade to songs liao…I always ask her if that will affect her absorption rate… she says no instead it helps to make her revision not so boring…but sure in between will get distracted de la.

:udaman: :thankyou:

[mummyofone]

My girl’s school only started supplementary lessons this term.

Only 2x a week 1.5hrs
Homework is manageable but can’t fathom why they are still doing things like projects for SS etc.
Takes much time away.

[MrsKiasu]

yeah I also heard project work for SS…some taking part in competition also need to do some work though not too much.

chen lao shi - pls share the new syllabus chinese words when u are free -Thk you!
