My DD’s SA2 ended on Monday, results would be streaming in these 2 days…stress! Try to be supportive and tell her PSLE is more important, but can’t help but stress within…haha!

Anyway it's over. Don't look back.... look forward..... :boogie:
And yes... PSLE is more important. Less than 11 months to go.

HI Ladies,


I love to stock up on stationery...it's so enjoyable to fill up the basket during Bookfest with all the diff things (all the stuff Picolo mentioned) bcos when I open the drawer at home, I like to be able to find what I want. This time round, have to get more 2B pencils for PSLE and Brother label with pink/yellow/green background.

For me, worse, I fill up trolleys! But over a few days during the fest and stocking up for my home office too. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone... I prefer to bulk-purchase once every half to one year.

Janet, are Brother labels good? What do you use them for? How do you compare them with those transparent labels?

I bought the Brother label maker for home use...very easy.
Use it to label files (diff subjects), pencil case, shelf, books etc etc. Many things to label So I am going to note down everything I need for my stationery drawer. Bought pink, yellow, green background.

SA2 ended today with Science. Instead of feeling happy and relieved, the eng language results had to be released as well...son managed only a 65%.

Although I am giving him a break, I need to check out helpful titles for Eng soon, so that we can start work on 18/11.

I want to relax & paint the town red but I can't. :slapshead: :stupid:

Janet, have you seen the paper? Dont feel despair yet, still got 10mth before PSLE. Find out which area he is weak in & work on that. My DS is weak in cloze & Compreh. His compo is not good too but situational writing is ok. So I bought assessment book on cloze only & another on compreh only for him to practice. There r slight improvement this year. As for compo, I really don't know how to help only encourage him to write more, read more.
