2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[Leanne]

Hi Brenda,


The school seems to do a full swing for CA?Its lots of hw.

More homework means more practise for the exam.I believe most psle class 's teachers are very stress themself too, the only difference is the student that is taking the exam, not the teachers themselve.


Cheers

[quote=\"Tinkerbelle\"]Hi Brenda,

Sounds like our DDs do share some similar interests (TV, forensic shows), except for the love of Chinese books...haha. My DD falls asleep when she reads chinese books. :slapshead:

Just curious, what type of Eng books does your DD like to read? DD loves to read fantasy books like Percy Jackson, Charlie Bone, Gregor , Harry Potter, Twillight etc.

Hi Tinkerbelle

CL story book still cannot fight with EL story book. So far she can only complete the whole series of 笑猫日记 and 小白龙.

As for English story book, she love to read books like Percy Jackson, The Last Apprentice, Gone, Burning up, Firesong, Surival, Outbreak and others titles that I also can't remember now.

BTW, we watched The Great Great World this afternoon. The show is mixed with different dialect but quite interesting. This gives us a chance to see something different during 1941 to 1978.

However, too bad today the homework is much more than usual, 10 sheets of maths, 4 sheets of Science, one full set of EL and CL paper 2. Therefore have to speed up after Dinner.

Hi Leanne

English and Maths is still no that bad, however the CL paper getting tougher this time. Some of the ci yu and open and end questions are not that straight forward, I also have headache of thinking what are the appropriate words to be used.

Hi Leanne

Is 短文填空 and 理解问答, 4 marks question that you need to answer properly to score well. The worksheets are given from school. The school does not ask to buy any assessment books but they have given worksheet focus on all these specific area like 短文填空, 理解问答,完成对话 etc. If I'm not wrong, so far dd has completed almost 10 sets of such.

Hi Leanne

I would think the preparation of CL P2 is quite sufficient if this rate maintenance.

However, there is still not much training seen in CL compo. so we still have to prepare ourselves.

DD school also has been very relaxed since school opening. The supplementary class has just started this week. Nevertheless, I think all schools will do their best to prepare their pupils for this big event

Hi Brenda,
:!: That's lots of homework for a weekday hor? Wow...your DD can really work fast; especially since she went to the movies with you. :salute: Doubt my DD can cope with that much HW.

Thanks for the feedback on the movie. Sounds interesting.... will bring DDs to watch. Think DD1 will like it cos she likes reading her Social Studies text book...
