We will try to enjoy now and later new to the date will start having nightmares.

Yes, yes better play and enjoy first. Then face the other headache later.

everybody in this forum today seems to be in a joyous mood. can tell the past 2 weeks how stressful they are.

The 2 weeks after Listening Comprehension were very tough.
I was so afraid my son will snap. Finding that right balance between complacency and snapping point is very difficult.

Start early. When the new school term begins, it will still be a little relaxed. After CNY, teachers will zoom in at 4th gear.

Yes, the kids should enjoy and play. They deserve to enjoy after working hard for so long. Parents also need to recuperate.
The weather is very hot, so do make sure they don't lose themselves playing too wild.

GLORYmum, thank you and you are most welcome. Have a good break where you plan to go... It will be an unforgettable and wonderful holiday. Just an idea if you want to get something cute for your child to play with for the holiday. You can try getting the cute hello kitty Polaroid camera and take pictures during the holiday that she can paste on the fridge(by putting a magnet behind) or her own study cosy area with a sticky board. It's fun.

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.

:thankyou:

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.

Janet, :thankyou:
