I've yet to implement my SA2 time-table. Wait till my son sees the time-table I've set :evil: Have to start earlier bcos he's in P5 and syllabus is even more in-depth.

he'll freak out, I guess?
Yes quite true... Pri 5 is very different from Pri 3. Pri 3 seems quite manageable, at least when compared to Pri 5.

He should not freak out since it's nothing new...but I will have to turn a deaf ear :evil: when he whines and complains. Anyway, Monday is a half day and work-free too...in exchange for 2 days of SA2 revision.

Hi mummies.

Jus go thru those piles of papers DS brought back couple of weeks ago, then I realised the brief CA2 timetable! With the practical n process skill tests that consists of 30%, bal 70% cover topics like cells, electricity.

1 last topic to go before SA2...that is ELECTRICITY which is hubby's specialty...hahaha. He will have to coach son...I hands off. Some schools like Rosyth give tough questions be it CA1 or CA2 :faint:

Sometimes, I rather my kids whine and complain a bit. Right now, everytime I ask both my kids (P4 & P5) how are they coping, do they understand their lessons, need my help.........all I get is 'OK, can ah, no need'.

Some will say I'm lucky. But sometimes I'm worried that it's just a false sense of security and I dun do enough cos' I can see that many of you are really really hardworking, dedicated and hands-on. :salute: I just hope I dun get a rude wake-up call at the last minute..... :scared:

Give your gal a break on 10/8...after all the exercising these few weeks, she really deserves a break. The rest day after National Day is for these kids. Our children get to enjoy the additional day because of the courageous young performers.

Hi! Janet,
Yes! She will have a full day rest to herself! Mummy me will be at work so she will have no one \"chasing after\" her to do revision. :rotflmao:

Hi Happy Mama! :hugs:

SA1 they only cover Diversity so Material is move to this term.

Now I am more worry for next term when Magnet is coming!

Yes questions on magnets seem more challenging, especially with all the diagrams. Oh yes, my DD is covering human body this term incl all the different body systems.

Hi Happy Mama!
I just went thru the Science topics with DD1 this afternoon - the school is now on life cycles of animals and next week then will move on to plants. Guess Science T trying to complete the SA2 topics by next week so that the week follows next will be revision and the SA2 will fall on week 9...

From the last e-mail I rec from Science T - seems like Term 4 there is only the topic on Magnet! Probably System will be in P4 :? :scratchhead:

I dare not hands off with my son...supposed to let him plan his CA1 revision but took it back. As for my younger one in P1, I have to revise with her for summative tasks this month.
