2012 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[Peony]

Hi Happyheart,


The strategy depends on the specific weakness. For example, if she is losing marks for compo, I check which area- plot? Language? Missing link?

If it’s language, then I probe further too - words used? Sentences?

If it’s words, I’ll list specific task for her e.g replace boring words with better ones. I’ll list the boring words and she has to search for better ones.

If it’s sentences, then I’ll give her exercises to replace simple ones with more complex ones. And to get her to pick up super sentences from books.

I also check with her teachers to get tips/strategies or other specific weaknesses.


Oops! Just saw that u asked for maths as examples.

I list her weak topics then get her to redo all mistakes to ensure she has mastered them. I also pick qns for her to do. I don’t drill. Pick and choose more challenging ones until she masters them.

In the first 6 months of P6, teaching still goes on. Prelim is like SA2.

You can allow kids to play for a few weeks after P5 SA2…but start teaching P6 syllabus in Dec.

After the last paper today, my DD happily went to play with her friends & came back @6pm but now, she is down with a temperature of 38C. Thank God she fell sick now rather than in the midst of her exams, heng ah! But will miss her childrens day celebration in school tomorrow. Anyway, wish everyone of you here, HAPPY CHILDRENs DAY!!!

Mine also after last paper yesterday came down with stomach flu. Luckily not too bad but the pain coming on and off. Today looks quite ok but need to watch his diet. Maybe the PSLE stress???
