I think choosing CCA should ideally be based on their interests & personality. At Primary school level CCA is quite unimportant & inconsequential I feel...or at least in DS school, the CCAs are treated as such.
One dd is UG and another is not. Good to start UG from pri? She is trying some musicsl thing now.
I let DS join UG becos he’s an extrovert & loves the interaction. However, my friend let her introvert DD join UG becos the girl benefits from having new safe & trustworthy friends in that CCA. Once the kids are introduced to each other in the small teams, they tend to have a very strong bond. So introverts can benefit from UG too. Depends on your perspective & child.
If she likes music more then music CCA is fine too.
Don’t expect to use CCA for DSA. Won’t help much

dd aim to go back only..I noticed kept telling her aiyo marks like these how to go back arh during marking of her past year qn last week haha..So far every year change cca. A bit to be soft side in terms of the mind strength looks like Ug may e beneficial to her if she wants to change. She likes those more body movements, also good as right now very much lesser playing around due to covid. Ok, let's go for more enjoyment at this level..MrsKiasu\" post_id=\"2020879\" time=\"1618961774\" user_id=\"43981:I think choosing CCA should ideally be based on their interests & personality.

DSA? No idea yet. Not much hope :gloomy:
A bit like your case...maybe aim to “go back” affiliated school. But dunno whether can make it or not...DSA also like no talent good enough. -

if DSA, it may take up time and still have to handle 8-9 subjects in secondary school.

Better bring the discussion here hehe..
How is she doing in tests etc? If she's doing OK, then there's probably no real need to do extra until a few weeks before exams, and just keep to the \"a few questions outside school hw\". I believe in measuring by achievement, not time or quantity. Of course, if she makes mistakes or shows weaknesses, then you should insist that she does extra to work on those areas. I don't know why you say \"sadly only story books\" - I can't imagine why kids would voluntarily read school books if they don't need to, and not all kids like non-fiction. I was a 2-storybook-a-day kid until about Sec 3 when work got heavier, and still read about 4 books a week till I got to JC. I owe a lot of what I know to story books - besides language and vocab, you can pick up a lot of general knowledge that way.MrsKiasu\" post_id=\"2020888\" time=\"1618966343\" user_id=\"43981:
Just sharing ..I have been lax with my younger child since start of P1. Maybe abit difficult to believe, the younger pack own school bags, do hw on own unless she needs my help, remember what to bring to school for cca and enrichment days etc. I only do spellings with her on Sun. All was ok till now..she still do all those on her own but due to lack of discipline in doing revision at home. A little more than a few qns outside the school hw she will give me the face of ..ahh so much! Most of her free time still spent on reading but sadly only story books. I have to now try to get her to do work other than given by school.
What sort of \"work other than given by school\" are you trying to get her to do? If it's already stuff she knows and can do, it might be boring. If you dress it up to make it more \"different\", it might make it more palatable. Get her to write a story, or a script for a puppet show, make the puppets, and put on a performance. Get her to calculate ingredients etc when baking or cooking. Get her to make a scrapbook (physical or digital) related to a science topic. Some of these would work better for the holidays, but some can be done bit by bit over a few weekends.
She was ok during lower primary but not so okay this year coz expectations are higher now. She managed to get the letter from cc for P2 level. When she didn't get it early this year I know she has slipped..and slowly realised quite bad in fact. Usually bits assessments we dont do revision. Like this round prep for SA1, we started doing and to my horror, 1st full Maths paper done was at 60s. I was surprised too with her English (haven't started Eng revision tho) looking at how much story books she has read. Not much revision tho as in now Oral has started we only started revision for Math/Sci. That also very relax kind of revision. I have problem also. During dd1's time, tuitions like so important.. but for this gal, she is like the 'forgotten' one. Always think she is still young, can continue happy go lucky attitude.
Our school dont give alot of hw. She likes to do baking with me.. more of wants to play type.
From what I see, maybe need to bring her focus back to studies. Concentration not tip top type plus mind wandering around with the story in story books, i guess. You asked her find things, in front of her also cannot see. -
But we don’t know how the AL works
