Preparing kids for P5 in 2011

[janet88]

Hi Mummies,

Appreciate your kind concern. Certainly need to keep some energy for next year.

Hey, need your advice. The comprehension assessment book I get son to practice on seems insufficient and hardly helps compared to the REAL thing found in CA/SA. I am using Conquer Comprehension. Any useful titles pls? Thanks.

@Janet, agree it is a long road. We vent and hug each other here so we can keep charging ahead.


Re: English compre - have you tried schools’ past year papers ? I quite like those.

Hi Janet

In this case, may be is better to work on actual paper and learn from there since you had encountered this issue.

Just my 2 cents thought

Hi Mummies,

So the kids results will slowly improve towards year end ?
Son's 3 subjects (Eng/Science/Chinese) is in the 60s range...Band 3. Red for Maths. Just planned his revision time-table and hope to see better results for SA1

Janet,
With you the committed mum planning all the revision and working side by side with your DS, I'm sure his results will improve. Don't worry too much as it will cause DS more stressed and kids may not perform well under stress. PSLE is still a long way - consistent work and all should be well. All the Best!

All mummies,

We work hard together..... Jia You.....

Hello Janet,

My dd is in P5, same as your ds.
I just like to share this with regards to my niece who took PSLE last yr. All the while from P1 to P4, she was in the 90s for her Maths, then in P5 CA1 she failed, 40plus. But by the time end of P5 came, she was back in 80s range. And this happened for many of her friends too. So, hang in there, Janet. Soon the red will turn blue and increase back to normal.

Cheers.

Hi elkniwt,
Thank you for your assurance. Until now, hubby couldn't accept why 83 for Maths at P4 can drop to 33% at P5. Will continue to work on his Section A as well as other areas in assessment book.
Seems that his class is strong in Maths and Science...class average for CA1 was 75% :!: On my part, I have planned his SA1 revision but dare not drive him too hard...afraid it will backfire b4 PSLE.

Yes Parents, we have to motivate one another and uplift our moods to prepare along side with our kids. Since SA1 is round the corner and let's all unite, to keep fit and healthy, pray and support each other. Cheers
