2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

Thanks, Pixiedust and Leanne.


These few weeks have been busy with taking a break and having some fun after SA1, visiting school open house and DS school has again started loading work once SA1 is over.

For Jun hols, DS is also required to do part of the past year PSLE workbooks (not as 'xiong' as Brenda's DD). We will also be doing some revision to catch up on some weak areas. Just that he will \"see light\" for his languages before PSLE and score a desirable grade for these so as not to affect his total T-score. In PSLE, every subject counts!

Hi there,


Ds only needs to do partial psle booklets(not as siong as brenda's dd school),and only be back to school for few days.

We also have been visiting open house and watch kungfu panda last fri.It was an awesome show.

We hope to strike a balance between studies and play during the holidays, or will get really stress up.

cheers

Admission to secondary schools during the S1 posting exercise is based purely on the child's PSLE T-score only. CCA is not taken into consideration.

Tomorrow is the last day of supplementary class and dd wanted to play card games with her classmate. DD said her classmate is not allowed to go to friend house as the mother feel is 'dangerous\" and requested dd to go to her house instead. :scared:


BTW, this will be the 3rd time dd goes to her house.

Same here. My DD is going to her classmate’s house to watch a dvd. At first I didn’t want to approve, but relented a bit when I saw how ‘important’ it meant to her.

Yep, started with attending birthday parties at lower primary, then homework / group gathering at upper primary. Tried to limit it to parents we know and we called each other to confirm before letting the kids go to their place. Also, bring and fetch kids from there, or if not at least call the home phone # to confirm presence.

Fully agree. This is the pre-teen phase, and so like kites, we must let the string further and further but still ‘leashed’.
