Hi! Happy New Year to all KSPs! :celebrate:


I am thinking of asking my DD to do self reading on her P5 Science Topics, which Topic should she begin with \"Cycle\" or \"System\"?
Any parents with older kids care to share their experiences? PSLE students can also pls share their experences too. Thanks

Happy New Year to everyone !


How are the new P5s doing ?
Ds's FT gave them 1/2hr \"lecture\" on the 1st day. Talked about the things we mentioned here - there will be big jump in exam requirements esp Maths & English. I think it was better for him to hear from the FT than from me.

They started on Maths (whole numbers) and Science (Cycles, reproduction).

I think of CA1 next month and I :idea: :!:

Started teaching English and Math but not the rest...1/2 of son's class are buddies to P1s, so teachers can't do much teaching as they have to leave the class at 1130am.

FT is strict...I like it.

I am trying to get my P5 girl to start her 'engine'. I left her on her own last year to coach my P6 boy..


Ended up, now my girl very relax and when i ask her to do work she drag her feet and bargain with me. She used to be very on the ball.. now i have to nag and nag to get her to do her work..

I wanted to leave my son on his own this year while I focus on my younger child in P1...but it seems it's not possible. Teachers aren't teaching much yet bcos of the buddy thing and he's so relaxed everyday.
Started him on Cloze passage to get his brain working. Next week, teachers will gear up and move fast. He will be struggling to breathe if he continues to be so free.

Have to train the speed especially in Maths paper otherwise may run out of time with last few question unable to complete and also no time for checking.

OMG :!: my boy only told me to write the subjects on the front cover of his exercise books...so very very free that I'm worried. Next month 28th Feb is his CA1. Teachers will go full-steam next Monday and he won't be able to breathe from 0 gear. Oh yes, he will be getting his jab next Tue.
