Was HCL paper 2 today considered difficult?

2019 PSLE Higher Chinese (\"gao hua\") paper 2 wasn't difficult, similar to past years' papers practised before, manageable

Hi anyone has written excuse letter to teacher asking to be excused from school for a few days after Psle (to go holiday)? Can share how to go about writing such an excuse letter? Thanks!

just write an email to your class Form Teacher, inform Teacher which period your son go holiday with his (her) family, should be all right, because PSLE already over

Btw, how are all kids here coping with this v free period after Psle? Past few days, we have been eating, shopping, play dates with friends. Not much of watching tv though. What to do come November and December? On one hand, can’t find any good reason to start any academic work, but can’t be just eat, play, sleep for the next few months right? Only thing kid want to pick up again is rollerblading but that won’t take up much time also.

Any camp type of activities for kids coming holiday?

this October month, since just finished PSLE, just let her relax : play date, eat, makan, sleep, watch movie (at home from video disc + cinema show), shopping, cycling at Pulau Ubin, swimming, go to beach, enjoy sea breeze, pick up sea-shells, canoeing, etc.


November -
Get her engaged learning how to bake simple cake course eg. fruit cake, banana cake.
If she can bake simple one, later on get her to bake a simple Christmas cake, since December Xmas coming soon.

thinking of getting her to attend an Adventure outdoor Outward bound school

get her to learn play guitar (acquire new skill, new instrument). Guitar useful because easily portable.
brush up her typing skill ("asdf ;lkj), let her learn Chinese painting (horse, bird, flower, dog, etc)

December, towards last week after Xmas, then get her to read up basic Sec 1 History, to be in tune with History next year (Sec 1), because History subject going to be new to kid


how about you guys ?
how u all plan to spend this long holiday (after PSLE over, until next year 2020 January Term 1 start ) ?

Yes, went prawning with daddy today…Wah not a cheap activity, 3 hrs each cost $72.

Me quite lazy also, prefer to laze around at home doing nothing but kid can’t stay still at home…another kind of tiredness trying to think of activities so that she does not scream boring all the time.

I posted this last week in response to someone else':
Start with clearing out the room (chucking or sorting notes, books etc. is very therapeutic)
Starting up old activities that went on hold (swimming, cycling, watching TV or videos)
Pick up a new skill or activity (baking, roller blading, art and craft, musical instrument etc)
Visit places like museums
Reading (you can download suggested books for the age group and set a target of at least 1 new book a week or something like that) - in 2 languages!
If going on vacation soon, do some research (what to see, how to move around, some useful phrases)
If you celebrate Christmas, buy presents, plan a party etc.
Look for a good cause to volunteer time or gifts to, plan what to buy etc.
Hang out with friends (can combine with some of the above)

Pick a few that are more \"long-term\", eg. learning an instrument (hours of practice required); planning a party; reading a list of books etc. Then you won't have to think of a new thing every day!

Also, point out to your daughter that it's her responsibility, not yours, to think of things to do. Your job is to advise, help with arrangements, and veto those that are unsuitable or too expensive! And that boredom can be a good thing as it encourages creativity.

Suggested activities after PSLE:

- Academic camps
- Tuition classes
- Book list, preferably finish up S1 / Y1 books by Oct, S2 / Y2 books by Nov, S3 / Y3 by Dec
- Prep for O Level / A Level
It’s never too early to start! Don’t let them slack, in case they can’t pick up the pace again!

When Jan come, it’s time to start complaining that sec school is too stressful, hours too long, no chance for break, too much homework, complain to Minister (whoever that may be after the GE), etc.
