Parents, do you think that a crash course in English creative writing during the school holidays will help ? I am considering to send my DS but can't decide yet, still weighing if it willl help.

English creative writing course is also in my plans but unless it's a miracle course, I really doubt 6 weeks can make a difference. I am also wondering if I should consider making it a full year commitment (up to PSLE) but I can't imagine having to send him there every week ...!

I am also thinking of signing up for the 2-week holiday SMOPS course. Looks interesting and it's something different to occupy him during the school hols. But got to consider the logistics involved ...

Hi Brenda


Sometime, do so much math, and if in the exam never peform to the max, quite wasted.This is what happen to DS.

Just threw away all pri five past year papers, the amount of work that he put in is double than other subject, but did not reap as much.Hope next year will be better.

I guess doing math also need alot of carefullness.Mistake done is done.

Thanks.

Maybe my focus is on math, and chinese, so plan may have to vary.
For creative writing, I feel that its a long run thing and its not a few lessons will make the difference.Just one cent of my thought.

Personally, I prefer an on going course.

Hi Leanne

Same here. Math will be the more focus.

Anyone knows of a good tuition centre in pasir ris, simei area? For P4 english and science? :?:

[Leanne]

Hi Brenda,



Same goes for ds school.Mostly between 88 to 90 percent above will be landed in top class.

For aggregate 336 will be in the second best class.That is how they stream yearly.

Leanne:

Has your dd or ds got the posting of next year class?
Is it a norm for their school to have the best teacher in top class?

For ds school, top class will have the top english and math teacher(same teacher, but this teacher is better in eng)

Second best class will have the best best math teacher.

So, really leave it to fate, which class is more suited,based on the pri five results for streaming too.

Hi Leanne

Heard from dd yesterday that the teacher mentioned the 1st 40-42 on the top level will go to the first class.

This year, her form teacher one person teaches E/M/S and not sure next year whether the same.


Can only know by next week where she being post to.

Hi Leanne

I agree with you. We also spent so much time on Maths however the best score turn out become CL if we compare the efffort that put in.

However, I guess we have no choice but to continuous foucs in Maths again as we can the most post requested for help still are Maths

Thanks

[Leanne]

Very true.


For chinese, if our effort is as much as math, am very very sure, the rewards is also more.

There again, sometime, if the math paper set in school is low, yet careless in the paper, it can be quite bad too.Very hard to judge the standard of a child too.DS class has got one girl pretty good in math, mid year 95m sa2, dropped to 75,I believe must be an accident.Cannot be so drastic and sa1 is a tougher paper.

Constantly have been doing high level questions may not be the best bet too.So still thinking how to strike a good balance.

Mummies,


Care to share what are the mistakes that your dd or ds has made or done well during this sa exam?

Mine over fumble in math paper, under peformed, cos too stress up.

On science mcq, shade one of the oas at the wrong one.Answer on paper itself is correct.

Anyone has any idea if english compo goes out of point, how many marks will be awarded?thanks

Hi Leanne

Very true.

I think this definitely a big blow especially SA2 is super important.

DD class also have a girl did badly in Science if not wrong the grade is like low B.

We can do our best and the final result is not up to us to decide
