Advance learning is not something new. If the child can cope, learning advance is not necessary a bad thing.

Correct, not something new. Most concept can be understood by herself.

Mine did the Math hub holiday program last year (P3), they covered some P6 stuff too.

Yes, I got the experience from another mum, even her son was P2, but can cope P6's math.

:yikes: Wow, even more advanced! This is getting more and more scary and stressful. :nailbite:

Anyone with child in Pri 1 and can handle Pri 6 work?

Markfch, your DS? :evil:

My Gal's English T is Rather Surprised that she is Among the Top 3 in her Class for Paper 2, And Commented Jokingly to the Class,

\"Maybe ALL of U should Do Gym. With More Exercise, Got More Oxygen going to your Brain, Can Think Better!\"

Don't know How True is this -le?!

Congrats to your DD for being top 3 in class for Paper 2.

Yes I noticed that kids who are more active in sports tend to do well in their studies. Must be the extra Oxygen!

Really??? must ask my elder boy then. My P4 boy now sleeping, cant ask him the recent CA1 or SA1 has HYPY qns.

Mark, my sincere apologies if I hv misleaded you.

It's an honest mistake. Let's move on ..... :evil:

Btw, I just did the method Mrsbongz taught me regarding drawing the 4 HYPY tonal representation (- / V \\) on a piece of paper. Turns out that ds thought that for 第三声(V), the pitch must come down then go up again as represented by the 'V'. I don't know where he got this weird idea from?

That's why he always confused this with 第二声. I don't know, maybe he's right. But his way usually cost him 50% of the allocated marks for HYPY. So I told him to follow my way which is to read 第三声 in a straight downward pitch and nothing more.

The next time his student care gives him past year papers to do, I will know whether he gets it right this time round. Mrsbongz, no matter what, a very big thank you to you. :salute:

dun thank me, this weird idea is likely fr my ds that's how he differentiates e 2 tones. The 3rd tone does have a slight upward tilt n the drawings reminds ds. It workss so far. By reading downwards only, will e confusion b between the 3rd n 4th tones? :?

i think your son is correct. my ds2 also pronounces it this way. when i listened to his tuition teacher from China carefully, i realised there is a slight upward tone at the end of her third sound, especially if it is the last Chinese character of a sentence. so i believe he learnt it from her, and i just let it be. but it is true that it can lead to confusion from time to time for those whose 1st language is not Chinese.
