Sun and sea and sand... oooohhh....

Hmm more of temples, monkeys, trekking and nature

Balancing DDs :rotflmao:

Visited an elementary school in one of the village and surprisingly, they have 5hrs of school which is paid by the government but for their level 5/6 exams, the parents paid extra to the teacher to teach their kids privately in the school. We were there when the teaching was happening.

So it depends on the financial means of the parents, if they could afford, the kids has more hours learning thus scoring better at the exams.

DDs were shocked at the school grounds and appreciated their own primary school.

Nice that you visited a school. How did you arrange that?

Asking everyone. Do your schools stream for P3? Will you be more ‘on’ in p2 then?

Arranged village and river trekking with the resort. It includes visiting the day to day lives of the Balinese , hence visited their homes and school based in the village. We brought some new toys and left it with the resort to distribute to the kids. It was a small part of the whole trekking, the jungle bit was tough :rotflmao:

They do, hmmm I do know I will not be totally hands off like I did for P1. Keep a closer eye on when the show n tells and her mini tests. Probably revise with her towards the 2nd half. DD1 has careless mistake issue :slapshead: so that is tough to crack

Yup school will stream to P3. Will keep a close eye on her work. Will manage one step at a time. How I wish I can make PSLE into a non-event. It might sound blasphemy but I don't see it as a milestone in my kids' life. :siam:

Takes a bit of effort to make exams non-events, but do-able!
I think I succeeded :evil:... and so well that till now I don't even know exactly how my kids fared for exams this year. Haven't checked out their report books yet, believe it or not :razz:

I will not ignore the exams but I don't want it to govern our lives. Maybe it's becos I'm not working so the feeling of exams being all consuming is felt more by me heehee
