Weather is very very hot again. Give him more fluids...take care of yourself too. Will check out Soup Spoon because the soup bowl at the cafe we ate doesn't have the bread all the time. Thanks.[/quote]We have try out many places. Soup Spoon serves one of the best soup in town. Don't forget to try the clam chowder soup, it is very delicious.mummy so kiasu:
[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Last Sat after tuition, we brought him to enjoy soup served in a bowl made of bread.
Wow..That's nice. My kids' favourite too. Soup served in bread bowl from Soup Spoon. Have not been there for quite a while. Will bring them there on this weekend. My boy had just recover from fever. Already twice for this month. Have to focus on his health for the time being. -
The yummy soup served in bread bowl is at this cafe along Eng Hoon St...called cafe pralet. But this is a popular dish and often finished early.
The pressure is definitely heating up...this is last week of July and psle oral are in August. :nailbite:
Gosh, Chinese prelim is not even over yet. Now pumping kids with lots of liquids to stay hydrated. -
Wishing all P6 students (and mums) all the best for oral.

My child’s school has 2 mock + 1 prelim exams this year. I almost had heart-attack on the result of the 1st mock exam, ie. low 70s for 3 out of the 4 subjects. The worst result that is in the history. My child also seems to lose his motivation since P5 and it’s the worst this year. Anyone has experienced this and can provide advice…?

My boy's Prelim starts on 31 July. Not much time to do revision. Time to give them confidence instead of stress. Have to take care & don't fall sick.The yummy soup served in bread bowl is at this cafe along Eng Hoon St...called cafe pralet. But this is a popular dish and often finished early.

although prelim results are recorded and important, there is really no point stressing them out for it...believe they are quite prepared. tell my son to look at the big picture.janet_lee88:

Are those easy or killer papers? 70s for tough papers are consider good. Is it due to carelessness or weak in concepts? Have you or the tutor focus on your child's weak topics to better prepare him for PSLE? Since Prelim & PSLE are getting closer, the most important thing to do now is to give your child confidence so that he will do his best on exam days. All the best to your child! -

First of all , you have to understand by checking with the FT how is the whole cohort of p6 did for the 1st mock. If overall are getting low 80s and 70s, then your child is ok ... Probably the school set very difficult papers to wake the pupils up.
However if majority are gettings high 80s or 90s for the cohort, then you have to step in to check what's is the area that your child is weak at. Try to fill in that gap by either do more similar questions or maybe go back to basic - is it the concept or it is the answering technique that is wrongly applied. sometimes it could be time management problem, that is, your child has no time to finish the paper or no time to check thus made some careless mistakes. Then you step up on by timing him to finish the paper within the time frame with at least 10 mins to check. Buy a timer if you need to. For maths, in general, 3 marks question should use about 3 mins, 5 makes questions about 5mins to solve.
Find time to speak to the respective subject teachers to find out more.
Celebrate small wins too. If he can manage to solve certain questions or say get 35/40 MCQ for Science Section A, give him a big hug, maybe go out for an ice-cream treat. Encourage positive attitudes.
Encourage your child. Remind him that the past does not equal to the future. He still has Prelim before PSLE so still have time to work towards getting good grades. Every child needs affirmation.
All the best ! :rahrah: -
My child knows the strategies and technique. Somehow he is not motivated but just thinking about play and play and still play. He even claimed that he is doing a lot whereas others are not (?!)
I don't think the papers are difficult as I heard some children got A*. It's his problem per se.
Giving him confidence? With this kind of result, he still has not learnt but still thinking of playing.... Thus, if I give him confidence, it's like encouraging to relax more...? no?
Really at a lost. :?:
