Happy Mama:
I never knew my DD has streaming in P2. I guess the only time left to coach her will be after work at night (provided no night calls), after marking the assessments that she is tasked to do during the time when I am out at work. That way, then I can assess her weakness and go through the mistakes.
Hi hl124273, yes she will be in the top class next year, but they now call it 4 Teamwork 9 instead of Charity 4. During DD's time, they were streamed when they were in Pri 1. The kids now are luckier, streamed at Pri 2.hl124273:
Hi Happymama, It's encouraging to know that there is still hope to be able to make good progress later on.
Do they stream every year now ? Top 20 - that would mean in the top class I suppose (Charity).
For a P3 kid, how long can we expect a kid to sit down and do the assigned task (assessment) assuming say 10 pages of math ?
As for your other question, I share the same sentiments as php. -

hihi Dion,
P1-8 is a very special class in PH. I observed that usually the parents of this class are very involved type. Both E3 & php's dd were formerly from this class too.dion:
Hello everyone,
Like to join in this network since my DD is in P1-8 next year!
I'm happy to find another parent whose child is in the same class as my DD - P1-8 Welcome here! Will send u a PM later.
Mark,
Didn't know P1-8 has so many famous alumni
I would like to be a very involved parent come next year, but but but, I find it challenging even when I imagine a tired mom after work trying to coach a tired child after school at night. -
Happy Mama:
I would also like to highlight that different kids εΌηͺ at different pace. Take DD for example. She wasn't as good when she first entered Pri 1, but now, she has made a quantum leap and progressed on to top 20 position in standard (based on our findings). So parents, don't despair and don't give up if your kids have not εΌηͺ. 继η»ε ζ²Ή!!!
Wow... Impressive! :salute:
Was it as a result of u quitting your job to stay at home to coach her? How did you made her εΌηͺ?
I've that ε²ε¨ to quit & stay at home to coach my DD next year... Still thinking hard... -
Scary:
Yes!Funx3,
Your DD getting her results this Thursday! Keke .. .I hope PH will be able to produce the top student. If not, at least 1 or 2 top 10 this yr.

:congrats: Happy Mama!
Aiyo, it doesn't guarantee that she'll get >260 for PSLE.
To be Within Top 20 is ....
Within sight of Being the Top Student by PSLE -le!
By Virtue of Being Within Top 20 in P6 ....
DEfinite 260+ Potential!

Thanks, joyful hands. Yes, being a SAHM certainly helps and the sacrifice is definitely worth it, especially when you see how your child progresses each day.Wow... Impressive! :salute:

Funx3:
Thanks funx3, but Pri 3 is still too early to tell as there will always be reshufflement every year. Moreover, there are just too many intelligent kids in the top class, so being the top PSLE student is definitely out of sight for DD.:congrats: Happy Mama!

C'mon, if I can do it, definitely you can do it too.

From my experience, if either party is tired on a particular day, then just forgo the routine and do something else that is non-academic, like play. Tiredness induces impatience for the marker and carelessness for the markee (hey I just invented a new word!)
Give our brain the rest it requires. In the long run, this approach is better. -

Hi Mark,
:welcome:dion:
Hello everyone,
Like to join in this network since my DD is in P1-8 next year!
I'm excited & at the same time scare... Not sure whether she can cope in such a good & challenging school. I'm a working mother so do not have a lot of time to coach her.
Any advice on how to prepare her?
P1-8 is a very special class in PH. I observed that usually the parents of this class are very involved type. Both E3 & php's dd were formerly from this class too.
I think the emotion you're going thru is understandable. You know the Chinese adage, θΉε°ζ‘₯倴θͺηΆη΄ is very true. Everything will fall into place naturally, as long as we don't fret over the small stuff.
From your post, I sensed that you're worried about the lack of time to coach your child. If time is a premium, then imo we should do the task which gives the biggest reward first. So if I were you and I only have time for one subject, I'll just focus on Chinese (both reading and speaking). This is what others advised me last year and I see the wisdom of it.
For the rest of the subjects like English & Maths, without a doubt it'll be good to coach them too. But it's not the end of the world if we don't because what we have here (in S'pore) is an English learning environment - our kids will be able to pick them up easily by themselves anyway.
Btw I'm postulating that your family background is similar to mine, that is a non-Chinese speaking environment.
Thanks for the advice! Yup you guess it all right. Time is scarce, with me working full time. Shall do what you said, focus on Chinese first!
I sweat with even K2 chinese standard so its really tough for me.
Honestly, I did not realised higher chinese is compulsory here until my hubby found out during PV. My nephew who is in Rulang did higher chinese but it was optional, so I kinda assume its the same arrangement.
But I'm not complaining. If God gives us a place in PH, I'm sure my DD will be fine.
Cheers!
