2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

Hi jtoh,


I think for English Language is really a flair in a child.As it is , language doesnt built overnight.

But, strangely, I know many kids that doesnt speak Mandarin, all A star for chinese.

I do hear kids scored B for science and math, if really weak, if not usually its an A.Again, A is just an alphabet, most impt is a high A or low A.

Hi Brenda10,

From what I observed, its not difficult to get A for english, but tougher to get A STAR.

How about for other subjects? I didn't realize that until a friend of mine said she hardly knew of kids who scored A* in English.

Hi Brenda,


No prob about the typo error.

Usually paper two is not too hard, its the compo and oral that makes the difference.

Hi Leanne

Last year, I still remember dd CL was pull down by the compo. but lucky she scored high in Paper 2

As such, we make it one compo. each for EL and CL per week and really can see the improvement.

Hi Brenda,


That is good.Am sure with your close guidance, your dd will do very well.

DS has been writing CL compo regularly too.School teachers just too busy with 40 over kids in a class.

Hi Leanne

Thank you for your good wishes.

You’re right in fact many things cannot depend on school too. Like the swimming gold star test, if we just purely depend on the training by coach I don't think can pass the test lah.

Hi All,


Are your kids loaded with hw this march holidays.Yes , for us.

The most amusing thing, is ds sci teacher gave them two set of prelim paper to be completed, tho the topic is not completed yet.

I just cannot understand, SA1 not finished , why skipped to prelim paper for sci?

Anyone experience similar experience?

Yup, lots of HW for a one-week holiday! The best part is the school organised a 3-days camp fm Mon-Wed, 8am-6pm! :shock:

DD homework is not that much. It include a research for thing related to "Interactions" - the new topics of 2nd book of Science, cut out a newspaper article and present it in a report form etc.

Sorry to interrupt, son in P5 had Maths homework…revise Fractions, questions in Onsponge, and some other heuristic ones. For CL, it is a continuous writing compo…will ask tutor for help when she comes.
