      Children's Day is 5 October.

      PSLE marking is 15-19 October.
      Exams will start the week after PSLE marking (20th onwards)...I think Children's Day is reasonably \"far\" from the exam...PSLE marking will be a good time for parents (who are not teachers) to take time off to revise with their children.
      So the next BIG event on the MOE calendar....GEP selection tests!!!

        [quote=\"janet_lee88\"]I told hubby I want a reward too.

        After the science paper, I want to go for a good meal with hubby and son...it will be a very happy meal even if it is just KFC. Before PSLE, I don't have appetite for lobster. Now, I am in the mood for dim sum. Gosh, I am drooling.

        Son will get his Xperia game phone 2moro. Hubby bought it sometime back. But we kept it from him.

        Go for it, Janet ! You deserve a good short break before gearing up for your dd. :hugs:
        :celebrate:

        That feeling of the LAST PAPER is wonderful :rahrah: πŸ•Ί ...other than waiting for results now which is going to be :nailbite: but what's done is done and most importantly, I have seen sweat and effort on his part. For all you know, I may panic the night before results are released.[/quote]Don't want to think about the result first ! I am sure all of dc have put in their very best effort to attempt this PSLE. I gonna let my dd catch up her beauty sleep this Friday since there is no school. For me, I really need retail therapy cos the only \"shopping\" I have been doing so far is grocery shopping @ NTUC πŸ˜†

                  Yeah.... The last children day for the P6. They will not be \"children\" anymore when the moved on to secondary.


                  Janet and fighting mom, do get your ds/dd a big children's day gift for the hardwork they have put in this year.

                  Cheers!

                  Sorry just side track a bit, since it is the last children day, that means they will be 13 next year right? Will they be consider 'adult' and pay adult fare if they travel to overseas next year?

                  Yes, they pay adult fare.

                      We have booked our tour recently and was told as ds is above 12, he needs to pay adult fare. Unless during the trip till he is back, he has yet to celebrate his 12yo birthday! Hope I've not been conned.

                        I don't think mummies can enjoy when their kids still have another paper to prepare for. From 2moro, my son will be having fun at home...ζˆ‘εšζ ‘ι•Ώγ€‚
