Hi Leanne

Yes, so P5 parents don't need to be too worry lah.

Like EL P1 (Compo. and situation writing), heard from dd the teacher may want to increase to more than 1 time per week and the Maths (not sure full paper or only Section C) they will also carry out such test frequenly at the class to measure their accuracy and speed.

Hi Chenonceau

Yes, at least the the bigger worry to EL compo. is well covered. Think the CL will also go into same mode.

In fact, this few days dd has nothing much to do after supplementary class and can spend time reading those Sciecne comics, watching TV and doing some prelim math and sciecne from those past year paper.

Chenonceau:

I'll be tackling P6 SA1 in December after spending 2 weeks overseas in a cottage. Again, I will ignore topics and assessment books. By the way, I also ignore CAs. No time to prepare and do so many practices. MUST have time to play.

Chenonceau,

I'm impressed by your 'out-of-the-box' thinking instead of the usual drilling method.

1. Juz curious, what does your son 'play' in his play time?

2. Also, I remembered you mentioning about your son's big leap in chinese compo after getting your son to memorise chinese essays (from books bought fm China). How do you select the pieces? Based on themes? What about his retention rate?

this is great news if it is indeed carried out. The reason why it was not done in the past is that the teachers are already overloaded with a lot of other 'admin' tasks. If the school has taken the holidays to revamp their system and teacher's workload, and to ultimately focus teacher's time on teaching and monitoring, it is a step in the right direction.
It remains to be seen if this is indeed the situation.

Chenonceau,


cheers....I think balance of work and play very very impt.

DS has lots of fun in school.Dont think he picked up much from school too, probably is the good company of friends.

I must say this term 3, teachers are awesome, as really load them with good exam papers.


cheers

Hi Chenonceau and Leanne

Yes, play is the important factor to destress!

BTW, next Monday is the school holiday and dd is going to her classmate house to play card game for about half a day.
