2DMommy:

My DS will be p5 next year (2011) and now I am feeling the stress already.

Me too! Feeling stressed also
but I think we should start a new thread as this 2010 P5 thread already 73 pages long. I hope we will have similar active updates like this thread.

All the best to mummies and children in p5 2011.


If your child has been consistent through the years, should have no problem.

Hi keroppi


You can consider (I have started to do some with my DS):
1) doing vocab and grammar book
2) reading good phrases from the creative writing book by TAS.

Maybe you can start your child with something "light" while you look around for a creative writing class for him.

Thanks, Hifive. I have the TAS creative writing book. I guess I can start with that to getthings rolling.

Thank you Hifive!


Must really start him with something or when school re-open, it will take him quite a while to gear up again .

Just wonder, why are they allowed to use calculator in P5 Maths ? Is it because the calculation gets complicated ? [/i]

It is important to master the use of calculators to get answers and check for answers/mistakes. I know cos about 10 of my PSLE students get A* for Maths this year in PSLE 2010 and they are good with calculator skills as well as maths skills.
