TGIF


Looking to do some revision with DD this weekend.

[KSP]

next week EL, Sci and MT...... :nailbite:

[KSP]

so our 2002 kids is now about 2/3 the pri sch journey… if u can turn back the clock to P1 what would u do differently in handling their study? what will u do in the next 2yrs to prepare your kids for PSLE?


let me start first, I would start EL/CL tuition plus creative writing and 作文 in P1… Maths and Sci tuition in P3… now that I’m aware that I have started late for some subjects but I hope dd is still be able to catch up in the next 2yrs…

and getting the right tuition and assessment books are important coz we may not want to waste too much time to trial and error…

Hi Champion,

Happy birthday to Stephanie! This year, DS1 declared he wants a birthday party ( June ), so I said OK.

Have a great weekend.

Dear KSP,
I can't turn back the clock and refuse to think about it. But I have my DS2 going to P1 next year. Whatever I did for DS1, I reversed it. I send DS2 for Berries and Math to give him a good foundation. I learn from my experience from DS1. Yes, agree that getting DS1 good tuition/ enrichment is important now as we are building the right path to PSLE.

As usual, my views probably stick out like a sore thumb. If I could turn back the clock, I would have tried harder to read with my dd every night, or have dh read with her. Reading, not just a story book, but reading and discussing the passage - meanings of unfamiliar words, implied intentions behind words, predicting what will happen next.

I think that getting a good foundation for the languages, with some EQ insights thrown in, is what I’ll work towards for the coming year. Dd still doesn’t go for tuition for any of the academic subjects - do Guzhen and ballet count?

[smartmummy]

If i can turnback the clock i would start cma for

maths and mother tongue.

I try first if i couldn’t handle then i will send.

[Pignite]

If I can turn back the clock I will put my son in a bilingual nursery and I should have send him to Chinese playgroup to learn Chinese poems, speech and drama... Han yu pin yin etc


Now we are struggling with his languages ( both written English & Chinese ) I realized that early exposure is the key to head start learning....10 years just zipped past so fast..!!!

I also wish I had spent time reading Chinese books to DS. Now he only reads eng books but that does not mean he did well for compo. Now still thinking if need to go creative class cos the teacher kept on telling him to use more good phrases. He has no tuition in any subjects this yr, he pulled out of Berries this yr (So,Laura02, u are not the odd one out here)Reading and writing are two quite different, dont know how to help him. Chinese compo also "same same"…So now send no.3 and no.4 to Chinese nursery and kindergarten to start exposure to Chinese earlier.
