Funx3:

Hmmmmmmmm .... May B Yours Got More Schools?

Or Thicker Papers? Hee-Hee ....
We R Getting 4 Subjects (Exclude CL) for 12 schools for My Gal to Practice ....

Her 1st CA Paper is in Less than 3 weeks, at end of Feb ....
Errrrrrrr .... Probably Start on Some CA Past Year Papers Next Week ....
R We Really Really LATE?

But I Can't Bear to Push My Gal - She Falls Asleep Every So Often in the Midst of Doing Her HW ....
Don't want to Stress Her Further ....

You're right. Now I do a counting and realize I had 21 schools on total. I think is up to individual child as I know there is a friend's daughter done a few years of past year paper and only score 1 mark higher than a friend's son who just done a few set. Both of them were in the same primary school.

Hi Lynn,
DD also piled up with HW for every subject yesterday.... Think her teachers want to make up for lost time over CNY break. Today, supp lessons till 4pm. Hope less homework today. Need to squeeze some time out for revision for CA1 in 3 weeks time.

Tinkerbelle:

Haha...sounds like your DD and my DD can :hi5: . DD also watching TV now. She loves her TV programmes and books. She watches every genre of TV shows, even if she has missed the previous episode & doesn't know what's going on...I jokingly told her if PSLE has questions on TV programmes, she'll surely score A*....haha. Wanted to go to the movies yesterday but the cinema was so crowded, so we gave it a missed. :lol:

Yes, same here. Watch all types of show. :hi5: Yesterday she also watched <爱> and <综艺大哥大> from 7pm to 10.50pm after back from swimming. As such, she would 自动 make use of the advertisement time to study CL Spelling, some science notes as well as work on certain section of English past year paper to prevent mummy off the TV.

Hi Brenda,
Wah...Your DD very efficient....can fully utilise advertisement time to study spelling and do English past year papers etc. Mine not as efficient....cannot mutli-task....keke

mrswongtuition:

Have you started drawing up a revision schedule/plan for your kids?


With 12 months to PSLE, they will need to learn new topics (algebra, circles, speed, etc) AND revise everything they've learnt from P1-P6.

I've already drawn up my student's revision schedules by subject then topics & even planned out books by their page numbers & worksheets my students must complete every week, either at my place or as homework.

It's important to plan ahead and the students know what is expected of them.

Consistent hard work will definitely pay off at the end of the day.

Would you be able to advise me how to draw up a schedules. I'm a single mom so I've to work two jobs to support my four children. My son is studying very far away from our house too.

Really helpless as the days really passing fast

Hi Tinkerbelle

No leh. I also do not want her just purely study and lack of enjoyment. Therefore, as long as her CL spelling doesn’t fall below 85 that will be ok.

[Leanne]

The only problem that am worrying is ds burnt out…not sure how well can his stamina be.


Imagine, school work, home work, supp class…it takes lotsa of stamina to move on.


My friend daughter go to a home tuition, its one and a half hour session, she delibrately dragged till two and the half hour at the teacher’s hse, cos she doesnt want to go home.Simply go home means more works from mum.Quite sad.


cheers

[Brenda10]

Yes. Need to find time to relax too. Have arranged with dd to watch It’s a great great work this coming Thursday after the supplementary class.
