so this last 6mths for us to enjoy ah.....

[MMM]

I felt stressed since my kids are in primary 1..... On hindsight, P1 and P2 are honeymoon period so I am taking it easy with my p1 now.


But P5 is indeed a big jump from P4 and it's across all subjects.... Wow... just to think about it. I've one P6 and one P5 next year... I've to face PSLE for 2 consecutive years.... :faint: Then when my eldest is having O levels, my youngest is having PSLE... another :faint:

Share with us your experience for preparing the \"big jump\" from P4 to P5!

I think the key thing is really about foundation. So the child by P4 should really have solid foundation so when they move into P5, it will not be so painful. The concern is that with the big jump, once the kids start to do badly, it hits their confidence and they might continue to do badly.

Maths - they can start to use calcutor for part 2. But the no. of problem sums increased significantly. So if they are not fast enough, they will struggle. For part 1, no calcutor, so it's important to enforce to the kids not to be over reliant on calculator as based on my conversation with some parents, their P5 did badly in maths because of their reliance on calculator, they got alot of careless mistake in part 1. Their teacher told us to try to get the kids to score well in part 1 so passing becomes easy. So it's not impossible to pass. During CA1, alot of kids failed.... in average classes there are only few passes while in top classes, they see failures too. My dd1 results from P4 top 80's dropped to 60+ and we should \"rejoice\" since there are so many failure. But there are bright kids who still can score almost full marks. Those kids are probably preparing in advance so far. Eg. P4 already learn P5 and P6.

CL - my dd is doing HCL and comprehension is her weakest area. so imagine HCL mainly compre paper... it was like a killer for her. Her scores dropped for her CL and HCL. Her enrichment class teacher was like asked her to focus on her compre and we must quickly lead her out of no confidence zone. We attended the workshop provided by school on how to guide them. So for parents whose kids are weak in compre, build on it now. Frankly we are still struggling. Sometimes we are so busy that there is only so much we can do... :gloomy:

Science - all those that they learnt from p3 and P4 will still be tested. Need to ensure they have a strong foundation in P3 and P4 otherwise kids will continue to struggle.
