[quote]Hi Tinkerball,


Your child oral starts very early.we still have three more weeks to go, same for both languages paper 1.
My child last paper also on 1 nov, cannot wait to finish it and go for my long awaited holidays before the next race, and that is psle.[/quote]Hi Leanne,

Ya, I also thought it was a bit early for oral exams. Your child has oral exam and paper 1 in 3 weeks time.... Not on the same day, I hope.

Totally agree with you about the holidays. We are also planning on going for one before we embark on that much dreaded journey to PSLE. Not looking forward to PSLE.
[quote]Mummies here,
How do your child relax?
That is what other activities they do beside studying?
Leanne[/quote]Swimming, cycling, playing computer games, card games & board games, outdoor activities in park and reading.

What about your child?

Weekend come and go, so fast.


How is your typical weekend like?Mine usually spent almost the whole day doing school work, there after rest and dinnner out with family members.

Weekend is also a day that my child catch up with sleep and rest.What about yours?

Leanne

Hi Leanne,

Saturdays are usually spent doing homework, followed by piano lessons. Evenings are spent with parents/in-laws.
Sunday mornings are spent for church activities, and the rest of the day will be for catching up on homework, followed by some outdoor activities late afternoon. Nowadays, the weekends seem too short.

Hi Tinkerbelle,


You typed at wee hours?
Yes, I agreed with you weekends are way too short.My piano lesson will be today, which is always a long monday for my child,hope its not a blue monday though.
Is your dd taking any piano exam next year, do u intend to stop next year, since its psle, am still contemplating.

Regards
Leanne

Hi Tinkerbelle,

Just saw this message of yours.
Our papers , oral and compo exams are pretty well spread for this term.Cannot wait to finish, hope everything falls in place.

I am also not looking forward to psle cos I can see many are understress now, as in the students who are taking the exam soon.The usual cheerful lots also become quieter.

Haha...not normally nocturnal. Usually weekends are quite busy so I can only check mail etc at wee hours.

We still haven't decided if DD should go for piano exam next year. :scratchhead:
Hectic schedule already so don't know if we should overload her. A few of my friends have decided to stop their DDs for a year to fully focus on PSLE. Guess deciding factor will be DD's SA2 results. :lol:

[Leanne]

Hi Tinkerbelle,


You are right, via looking at the sa2 results should have a feel to take the next grade or not.My piano teacher is suggesting her to take theory but am not for it.Unless its on practical, may consider if decide to do music in pri six.


Is your dd still taking piano lessons now?I know few students have already stopped their piano lessons due to the coming sa2.

My DD is still continuing with her piano lessons. Are you planning to stop your DS's lessons?
I agree that practical exams can be considered in PSLE year but theory exams become too taxing and time-consuming, especially if the theory exams are in October. :slapshead:

Hi Tinkerbelle


This booklet was recommended by Mr. James Ang under this link:

http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12840&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=10

It comes with 7 topical booklets and heard a number of top primary schools are using them as supplements for non routine sums.

Hi Brenda,

Finally bought the set of A star books. Really good. :lol: Now, just gotta find some time to get my DD started. Has your child completed the whole set??
