Yes, I think that’s a wise choice…better focus on academic curriculum !

My DS has not got the result of his CCA selection yet. But some of them have already been informed by the various CCAs whether they are successful or not.
I am very afraid that he may end up with a CCA he does not like and which needs to come back every Saturday. I wonder whether we can appeal if DS gets into a CCA he has no interest in, but still "force" to choose as he was required to put in 6 choices. -

CCA compulsory...so join one with minimal staying back.
At least after school can come back home to revise.
Literature not easy, same goes for his history and math.
Call me kiasu but he can't possibly be too involved with non-core stuff.
Only January but so many new stuff to learn. -
Yes you are right, so far I wonder is there any strategy to score literature? It’s all about English, and the understanding of the play, which unlike subject like maths, it’s either you got it right, or wrong.

Analyse the text... That's all I can say lol. My lit teacher in sec 4 helped us analyse our text, every sentence/word... Btw I got A1 for lit in the end

Sci can study
Math can practise
Literature got to feel - This is the subject I don’t enjoy. Too much to analyse. -

Hubby said geography requires some physics knowledge....I gave him that 'huh' look :siam: literature, I told son to ask questions in school when in doubt. History, I don't mind as it is like reading story book. Sec 1 ah...not easy man. Son told me it is as crazy as preparing for PSLE...even worse bcos time is insufficient every day.Sci can study

I’m looking for a home tutor for Literature, if not, a tuition centre. Please PM if you have any recommendation. TIA!

My boy will need to manage his time properly. He join 2 CCAs (scouting & debating) that will require him to stay back on 2 week days & go back on Sat from 9am to 6pm.

There are more subjects in Sec 1 & fewer lessons being allocated to each subject. There is only 2 periods each for History & Geography. Literature is combined with English. My boy already told me that Geography is boring.
Think about it, it is good to be crazy in P6. It mentally prepare them for more crazy stuff in Sec 1. :rotflmao:

No tuition centre offers literature & moreover different school is using different textbook. Those who are strong in English will have advantage.
