So looks like we've got to depend on ourselves i.e. either we teach or we \"outsource\" it... *sigh*

sadly but true....

Yes, either you outsource or teach yourself...no other way about it. We have to read up so that we can teach our kids or at least able to clear their doubts.

Ya that's true. DD was asked to buy Roald Dahl's book for English this year. Hopefully it will be put to use during Semester 2.

Roald Dahl's bk isit the one titled \" James and the Giant Peach\" ??
she bot too, part of the reading programme,
for exposure to more vocab and reading materials.

they also used it for acting out in drama lesson.

True, that's how I was being forced to learn about \"unit transfers\" for maths. :lol:

Hi Brenda,

My brain just cannot 'accept' math no matter how I read...even for science, that chapter 'electricity' under systems makes me fall asleep. Think I have this prob called selected learning.

Hi Janet,


You are not alone, I can't do Maths too! Luckily DH is quite gd in the subject and DS has keen interest, so no major problem there. But my contributions nearer to PSLE was to print out questions sourced online (Top Schools Prelims - present and past years) based on topics, especially Geometry topics which he's weaker in. There's simply no time after schools' Prelims to attempt that many of the top schs' papers - you have to be selective so that the kids don't burn out or have panic attacks.

Science - certain topics like Electricity /Circuits - I simply catch no ball. Again, these were outsourced to DH.

James and the Giant Peach are for Pri 4s. DD is using BFF.
