Hi RRMummy,
How are you ?
I revise everyday with my kids...esp the boy in P5. With my gal, I revise something with her every morn or it is very possible she forgets everything when Term 3 starts.

Hi janet_lee88,

These days.. surviving la.. but really dread starting of the new term. I guess me and DD enjoying our break.. mummy dragging feet to start revision but also kinda worried comes starting of the term her engine cannot start...

yes… the long awaited one month holiday… yet life is pretty much the same as during the school term for me as working parent. I have started revision for her by letting her do 1-2 sets of past year papers for different subject during daytime and then i will go through her mistakes after dinner and then prob a tv show or games for an hour and sleep… where is my holiday i wonder?


Teacher said her listening comprehension is weak so i bought an assessment book on it… havent had time to get started on it… another 2 weeks, school reopens… aiyoh…

The standard these days ah.. really :siao:

Cream Puffs : Durian Puffs
1:7
2:6
3:5
4:4
5:3
6:2
7:1

Ans:7 ways?

it's a heuristic question. All the possible combis from 7 cream puff + 1 durian puff to other way round. all in 7 possible ways.

But it really is a higher order question for a P1 lor.. such a long winded question, further more child has to also process the \"in order to at least have one each\".

haiz.. I don't know what to say abt the exams these days.. :frustrated:

Yup 7 ways. I'm just bringing myself to back to when I was 7 years old, and I'm sure to me it would have been super tough.
