[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Next year this time, He can play to his heart's content after PSLE...provided he has done his best. Have bought those assessment books to focus on those weak areas. Now have to plan when to 'cut ribbon' to have official opening :evil:

I'm in the same shoes. Those grades were depressing for us but I'm not sure how my DS feels about it. Still playing everyday.......... today just bought 2 assessement books for him and he's already looking so bored at the sight of them. I wonder when we can \"cut the ribbon\"!

Grades were depressing...but no point crying over them...just have to move on. I was looking high and low for this thread...wondering where it has gone to....with release of PSLE results and Sec school posting, this has gone to Page 2.

My son is like yours...doesn't seem to feel anything about the results ...playing and playing everyday :stupid: when he has to do corrections, he can still get them wrong :slapshead: have talked to him nicely and also scolded. NO EFFECT...somehow I wonder when he will wake up.[/quote]
My DD will be taking her psle next year, she is relaxing n enjoying her holidays. She only spend an hour or so to do some her work which i have assigned her everyday. Will chiong fm mid december when back from our holiday trip

Hi ladies,

I am getting my son to revise his P3-5 Science, working on English this Dec...dare not go on to P6 Science yet :nailbite: for Eng, we are trying to improve comprehension cloze, synthesis and vocab. No school yet I find myself busier

Can share with me how do work on comprehension and close passage? This is the weakest part for my son.

Gotta practise. I bought an assessment on Grammar/Vocab/Comprehension cloze...son is very weak in comprehension cloze and it's really tough to improve there...that section is 15 marks...in fact, every mark in every section is very crucial.

Oh no, all the dragons will be like ‘I’m the first! Get lost!’, then the results will be so high next year, maybe even better than the 294 score!

You must be crazy... U mean start doing Psle practice papers??? My girl still enjoying her hols... I only get her to do some P5 stuff as revision mayb about 1hr per day only...

What PSLE practice papers ? No lah...cannot burn him out.
The only P6 subjects we started is P6 English and Chinese. For Science, it's definitely P3-5...don't plan to teach him before school teacher. 2 hours every morn and then we play WII, angry bird and watch TV for the rest of the day :imcool:

Anybody bought the TAS vocabulary book during Popular book fair? I think it’s quite good & the way they put it also quite interesting.

Hi Flowermonaster,
Are you referring to the one with black cover ?
I have both the TAS books...one of them is for compo. Can't remember if it's the one with black or white cover. He attends TAS and so he is required to get them. What I like is the Synthesis section.

My kids' sch also using them. They have the Newton and Einstein series to cater to the different abilities. Vitamindz also have their own enrichment centre at Katong. Maybe can get the papers there.
