ds is gona make my blood boil till the maximum he forgot to go for the maths intervention course for school is after school hours. I did not know about it at all till the school circular came today, but the circular is stated 7-10 jan for the programme, but i receive the form only today.


Who to blame the school or ds as the teacher did say it was announced everyday through the school system reminding them to stay back HAIZ.

Janet thats the one hubby bought really keeping fingers cross that he will nto come tell me he wants drop out of track and field.

heard from my friend that suppl lessons are starting and rather intensive too, 3x a week to begin with. last year, son's school started with 2x a week.

mummies, get your kids to drink more water. weather is VERY hot.

Same. DS having 3 supp classes a week and then one of the other days for CCA. So packed! Dont even know how I can fit in the tuition classes for him, He seriously need to go for the tuition classes because can see he benefited and improved alot. But I am so afraid that he would be too tired when he is home and I seriously hope not to put tuition on sunday as its a family day, hope to put that day as his own self revision day at home. What to do? ;(

Son attended suppl lessons in P5 twice weekly…after each lesson can’t even tell me what he did other than worksheets. Last year, Sundays were for completing homework and revising. My son greatly improved for chinese under care of his tutor and school teacher.


The hot weather and stress leading towards PSLE will take a toll on kids if they can’t cope. Take care of them and yourselves too.

Yea. Definitely would. Same to u too and all parents

Supplementary classes is to finish syllabus early so can start doing exam papers to learn how to answer in an exam smart way. No choice but have to attend supp classes as otherwise will fall behind. If doing enrichment then still continue as enrichment will reinforce school, so less time needed for self-studying and revision by child. However must give free time every day and on weekends. Child must de-stress as do not want child to peak too early

Having just gone through this...I advise parents and kids taking PSLE this year to slowly pick up speed. I reached a stage of breathlessness in Sep and had to pace myself.
The first stress is in Aug with the Orals...after that you can let go a little. We went to enjoy a good ice cream as son had to abstain from ice cream and fried food 3 weeks before the orals. All the best...everyone.

My DD is currently in P5 - I am trying to plan her revision schedule. But am clueless what is the scope of the examination.


Can anyone help? TIA

For eg, Science (P3 - 6 topics)

What about Math, Chinese and English?

Mummies,

If your kids have tuition, do let go on your part…burning candle both ends will lead to premature burnt out. Weather is very hot, give kids more liquids like barley water and soupy lunch (bee ta Mak soup or bee noon soup)…helps to digest.
