For my DS, it was scheduled to have supplementary lessons for 2 weeks in June.
Now it is cancelled...

hi calvinchua,

don't let circumstances stop u, from having supplementary lessons.

Eg.

Even if your school had cancelled the Supp lesson,
counter-propose (suggest) to your child primary school's Maths Teacher, please continue to conduct online Supp lessons, using either interactive Zoom technology or Google classroom.
Your child can still stay at home, benefit these online Supp lesson.

Before your child enter the online Supp class, get him (her) to prepare a list of questions before hand first, to clarify with Tr on the spot. ie. get the maximum benefit learning, out of this online Supp lesson.

Alternately, one solution out is

- from your child's own P6 class, from your class parents whatsapp chat group, find out who are those students who are keen to attend Supp class, gather names of those P6 students, then inform your class subject Tr, said u have gathered x number of students very keen to conduct the online Supp class. Then u (parent) go into Zoom, create a host-id, tell teacher which day/ what time slot, these group of x students are waiting excitedly for the online Supp lesson, to proceed. In other words, be pro-active. On your own initiative, dont let physical circumtances bar u, from what u want your child to learn. We know that covid-19 is giving us a difficult time. But let's be brave, persevere on. Let us press on, together

wow, this sounds like pressure for the teacher.. everything ready. just need to teach. hehe

Typically, teachers would cover the first 1 to 2 chapters of 6B textbook before Term 2 ends. However due to CB period, bringing forward of mid year sch holidays and most crucially, this year being the first batch using the new syllabus, we have no choice but to wait for the book to be published. (Without the changes caused by Covid-19, the estimated period in which the 6B textbook is published would be around mid to end May.)

There's no need to worry though. Make use of this opportunity to prepare for Oral (less than 100 days to go), Compo as well as consolidate understanding of Pri 4-6A syllabus text.

xn_mummy,
Unfortunately, the Character List that's available is for the old syllabus (2007) [https://www.moe.gov.sg/education/syllabuses/mother-tongue-languages]

Do you have the Chinese Vocab handbooks for Pri 4 and 5? There's a index at the start of each book for quick reference/search. It looks something like this:

3 ways to go around, solving your problem

1)

Popular bookshop is now closed, under CB (Circuit breaker) until 1June 2020.
Not sure after 1 June, Popular bookstore will open


Write an email to Popular head-office,
ask if they can check their whare-house whether still got stock for 1 book.
If have, can they send this book to your house, by postage ?

can also call directly, but not sure anyone will pick up your call, because under CB now, all Non-essential service staff stay at home, under government order, dont spread covid-19


2)

If Popular bookshop replied \"Sorry, No stock\", after checked their wharehouse, then approach 2nd hand bookshop like Evernew (ground floor) at Bras Basah complex.

You can google for this shop telephone yourself,
Call them directly ask if they have stock for 1 book ?
If Yes, ask them to send you by postage, because all Non-essential services are under CB, their second hand bookshop is currently closed

you may approach any other 2nd hand bookshop, pose them the same question, since you need this book urgently, to prepare your son / daughter for PSLE, this year (2020) .


3)
do you have your child primary school's book-shop number ?

If have, call them up directly, ask if they have stock, can sell you this P4 book

Sometimes, your school book-shop may be another vendor, not necessarily come under vendor \"Popular\". Cast your fishing net wider surface area, ask as many bookshop vendor as possible, if they have stock of this critical, urgent book that u are looking for

today is 2nd week of May (Monday 11 May), still got 3 weeks, before reach May month-end.

Thus, make maximum, full use of the remaining very precious 3 weeks left, to revise for PSLE, because
once hectic school Term 3 start on 2 June, very busy liao, no time to revise much, because everyday come home just do school homework, homework, homework or tution homework, \"sian\".
