Ah…if u splurged on egg tarts then you’d better save up all your bags of coins to simulate the Helen & Ivan story. JK JK…
My extrovert kiddo is looking forward to going back for the supp lessons coming week. I dunno what’s gonna happen to the mood when Term 3 fully kicks in…any tips for managing the kids’ stress levels if they get ramped up by the atmosphere in school? -

My goodness. When I was having holidays last time, going back to school was pure torture. I really hated the last day of the holidays. I must really find out what kind of drug they are giving to kids to make them so excited to go back to school...

On a macro level, I think just keep making sure they know it's only a one-time test and whether you do great or terrible it doesn't really matter (or only matters so much). They will still be loved and life will go on.

On a micro level, I think get them to understand there will be hard questions and some mistakes and this is a grueling process, but that not everything has to be perfect. I.e. if they can get the points they are reasonably capable of getting, then they are likely to end up with a result they are happy with.
Also, at some point adequate sleep, a healthy diet, time to relax, and a positive attitude are going to do more help than another round of revision and cramming. At the end of the day we all are who we are (limitations, faults, and all), and one just needs to give it their best shot and then let the chips fall where they may. -
It will turn out fine, brave moms! Most kids will perform at their expected levels. @SG KP1, @zacsmom

In my humble opinion, we as parents, our own internalised definition of success, be it passed down from our parents or gained through our own subjective life experiences, will often also be passed on to our children: we sometimes project our own hopes and fears onto our children. One way not to add unnecessary stress to our children may be to start with ourselves. We can first try to be equanimous in ourselves. If we are anxious, the anxiousness will inadvertently be passed on to our children during our interaction with them.
Part of the solution is we take good care of ourselves too. we may then have less negative emotions and be more balance when managing children’s studies. -

There has not been an announcement saying they are removed so they should still be in (as of now). Last year, the announcement came on 23 June (2021), so unless something comes quickly or there is a change the ability to conduct lessons / sit for the exams I would assume they will be tested.
Is there any news on the PSLE 2022 common last topic? Are they tested or removed for this year?? -

Let’s wait for the C+ surge in July/August before more info is announced. If you refer to the graph, it is 1.42 as of 24 June 2022, 12pm

Week on Week Infection Ratio. The graph is getting steeper.

Parents unfazed by rise in Covid-19 cases as schools reopen on Monday
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/schools-back-in-session-soon-but-parents-not-worried-about-covid-19-spike
Will parents continue to be unfazed if the cases keep rising ? The studies will be affected as there is no more HBL or zoom class for students if they missed school. In the past, the teachers will conduct live lessons with the students in class and at the same time, conduct live zoom for the pupils who are infected with C+.
The lives of students have been disrupted since 2020. The P6 pupils taking PSLE exam this year have HBL starting in P4 in 2020. How much do you think the students have learnt over these past years. The P6 mid-year exams will reflect the true answer. Good luck to all P6 taking their prelims soon. -
I think we can assume that all the topics will be tested, since there was no period(s) of nation-wide HBL/school closure this year, neither is there any further large spike in number of cases. The teachers are already trying their best to finish up all the remaining topics by July.
