Preparing kids for P5 in 2011

Mummies of P5 kids,


Just go ahead to buy an extra set of calculator and an extra set squares+protractor for your kids. You need to ensure they bring along an extra set during major national level exams like PSLE, so no harm in getting an extra now.

Same goes for Chinese dictionaries - if you want to buy an extra electronic dictionary, make sure your kid bring along an extra MOE-approved paper dictionary for major exam. No harm being more KS as just in case \"kena suay suay\" (touch wood) electronic calculator / dictionary \"kong out\" last minute.

Note all calculators and dictionaries may need to get school approval stamps before Prelims / PSLE. So be prepared early. Some schools also require the use \"transparent\" pencil cases or ziploc bag for major exams....just fyi so if you may want to prepare some of these should you come across.

Thanks for letting us know all these impt tips. Appreciate. :hugs:

Chenonceau & Janet,


You are most welcomed. I went thru’ it 1st hand and a bit of last minute "scrambling" to buy some items. Happen to see this thread discussing about getting stationaries ready for exams. Thought might be useful to share info around so that parents need not do last minute rush.

Hi Penn88n and other mummies who have gone through the craziness of PSLE,

My son also brought 2 calculators for the Math exam.
Checked and double checked his compass and set squares are intact.

I'm already thinking of ice cream tomorrow and some retail therapy.
My son asked me, 'Mummy, I think you miss Orchard Road right ?'
I replied, 'Yes. Taka, Isetan and Robinsons'.

Pen88n, yup..big thanks ! Do continue to drop-by our threads.

We went out over the weekend to buy extra calculators and e-dictionaries :rahrah: The e-dictionary warranty is 1year so you are so right might as well just buy now.

Janet, how come your ds need compass ? circles only in P6 right ? We only prepared projectors and set squares.

We are also looking forward to a break after SA2. :imcool:

And it is not projectors either (that is for projecting slides), it is protractor :rotflmao: Can see how \"stress\" and \"disoriented\" Janet is :evil:

Sori, Janet, this panda can't help teasing and being naughty :oops:

By the way, even for P6 circles topic, no need for compass at all. Kids not required to draw circles with compass.
