2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[Brenda10]

Come back after Teacher-Parent meeting this morning. The form teacher informed us that the supplementary class for MT and EMS will kick off after CNY which will be 3 times a week. In addition, some enrichment workshop for a short period of time will be conducted either on Monday or Friday. P6 students be prepared to come back on 1st two week of June as well as September Holiday.


During the meeting, the form teacher requests us to monitor our children emotion during this period as the most stressful period will properly from June up to PSLE. As such is not advisable to over burn from now till May. She also requests the parent to pay extra focus on MT as this could be the critical factor affecting the T-score. Last but not least those who scored below 85 during the Maths pre-test have to buck-up.

Hi Brenda10


Thanks for your sharing. And thank you for the timely reminder about children’s emotion and the stressful period. With all the hectic schedule from school, I also felt that time not enough. Nevertheless, will let my DS enjoy his CNY week so that he can get re-charge to prepare for his CA.

Hi Hifive

You're welcome. Yes, let them enjoy a happy New Year. We can monitor what school has covered during this period and if is sufficient and effective then we just need to play a small role in the required area. Just my 2 cents thought

I'm working in the morning and evening till 10pm as I'm the only income holder in the house. During weekdays, I really have no time for 3rd son who will be having PSLE this year.

Agree that MT will be very critical as it affects t-score. It's good to hold it earlier as communication between parents and teachers can develop earlier so that parents can also help on weak subjects.....ours only take place after after CA1 results are out ..

Wow, all your schools briefing so early! DS' school will only hold briefing and parent teacher meeting in Apr timeframe. So far, his homework load quite light and no major increase in load. In addition, supp class only once a week. Now, should I be worried? :?

DH said I'm a typical KS mum....too much homework :!: Too little :rant: :scared: How not to???

Hi Brenda,
Your DD's schedule sounds like my DD's schedule. DD started her 3x a week supplementary lessons first week of sch and yesterday, she came back and told me the teachers want them to attend extra enrichment lessons conducted by external vendors 2x a week from Feb to May. That means, she she has to stay back after sch everyday!!! Dunno how she's going to cope with it? Hope that she has the stamina to keep up with the marathon.

Thanks for sharing about the importance of monitoring our kid's emotions during this stressful year. Will be attending the Parents' Briefing by the P and FT this Friday. Hopefully, will find out more info from the sch. :lol:
