DS2 told me they will be doing their 2nd book review today in class and teacher said the story should end with a twist. :scratchhead: Did your DS prepare for it last night ? DS2 was searching the Internet & typing endlessly on the ipad ....

When I woke my DS up at 6:35 this morning, he asked me \"mom, do you have the ERPlist, m supposed to do a book review today\" I was :mad: so no preparation and no research done! :slapshead:

Oh dear, are you aware that they are supposed to do it in class ? :nailbite: Not like the previous time whereby they can take home & take their own sweet time to do it ? DS2 is very very slow in his work .... [/quote]well, I only knew this morning, my DS can be quite forgetful and for some strange reason he tends to remember things he need to do when he wakes up in the morning which is a tad too late

Yes, no new ERP so far. Will let you know if any new assignment.


BTW, DS's chinese teacher just advised the composition is still 二选一。

I heard from him last night when back home. He didn't do any research, but prepared some notes, as teacher allows them to bring some notes. Also can bring the book with them. Luckily we have this ERP book at home.

I asked if they need write in \"Hamburger module\" like last time, he said no, teacher showed them some sample already, a bit different.

My DS always remember things the last minute when he lies in bed.

Hi, all the best to your kids for tmrw's Math CT2 and coming EL and CL Oral next Mon & Tues.

Hi GiftedGem,

Did your DD's school prepare them for the Oral ? Can share the topics covered ? Thanks.

Hi Dagong,
Tr did not cover any specific topics except asking them to take note of some past performance mistakes.

More importantly, tr emphasized on reading, pronunciation and articulation must be accurate and clear. There must be appropriate rhythm and pace to achieve fluent reading.

For Picture discussion, do ensure that the explanation, language and coherence have to be well analysed with good details, grammar error free and appropriate use of language to show the characters and items.

Hope this helps.

Personally, it should carry some weight. If not, why would a no of schs offering this UNSW for the kids' participation? Frame it up, YY1205 since yr DS had high dist for Sci. Both Just4fun and Toxic118's DS also did very well. For a thot, thinking why boys tend to excel well in Sci and Math whereas girls are more inclined on languages?
