      Hi mummies, this thread has been quiet for a few days.

      Just attended a class parents meeting in dd sch last Friday and the teacher has briefed us what to expect and prepare our kids for this year. At the end of the year, all children will have to sit for a formal SA2 exam. Average time for one paper is about 1hr 30min, so we are advised to train our kids to sit still and focus for 1 and half hr....stress....For maths paper, there will be 45 questions with 3 sections...MCQ, short answer and problem sums. There will also be paper 1 and paper 2 for English...Paper 1 is compo and given 4 pictures, the kids have to write a complete story....this SA2 stands 60% of the entire year... :nailbite: The sch will base on their total result to band them into different classes in P3. :shock:

              Yeah… full length papers can be taxing for little ones… Esp math papers; very easy to lose focus by the time the kids reach Section C… So I think it’s also good to teach them time management skills, even at this level…

                Really don't know how to keep their little butts stick to their chairs....that is the most difficult part. My ds1 started to play with his eraser after half an hour into the test when he was in P1...nothing bothers him, not even when the teacher hints to him that half of the paper was not done!!! :yikes:

                    Hmmmmm, should the kid start from section C, while the mind is still fresh?
