Hi Lynn

So far DD school has not yet recommend any other books to buy. How about your dd school ?

I do hear that usually the best teacher will be given for those top classes as well as weaker classes so as to push up the grade.

DS school has not recommended any assessment books either. So far quite ok work load and DS able to finish in the afternoon and have evening free to relax and go bed early to start next day early.


It’s true that they put good teachers in top and the weakest classes. Top class to ensure they get good score, weakest class to ensure high % of PSLE passes.

Perhaps the busy schedule will be after CNY.


Now dd is enjoying the Channel 5 English show as no much work from school.

I believe you are right.

Currenty, they are doing all the groundwork for english which takes up lotsa of time.

Yesterday, saw dd brought back some chinese assessment books.

Remedial class and cca wil commence only after cny.

I do know all her classmates are filled with tuitions now.Most children are being outsourced.

Hi Lynn


Yes. This event just like a Big Day in life to most of the parent, as such everybody will do their best by all means.

I am also looking forward to see what will be the activity after the CNY.
