DS got mood. If that topic he likes, no need to teach him anything also he can get all the details right. If it’s uninteresting to him…aiyo, have to knock it in by turning on my loud speakers.


Earth, Landforms and Volcanoes very good. Map reading sleeping or dreaming away.
Thank goodness sci still interest him and he cleared 80% for the surprise test 2 weeks ago. Phew…

These days got lesser time with DS no.1 cos of longer school hours and no.2 needs to be coached too. Revisions got to go on bullet train speed so no time for DS no.1 's wonderland.

I am worried for my DS' Literature test.


He said the teacher very boring and everyone dozes off during lesson time. DS said he tried to keep awake but is a struggle. DS said one day Literature teacher did not come and the whole class erupted with joy. So naughty, must :spank: them.

DS Common Test out of the way and he didn't do too badly, just many careless mistakes.


This week, DD in P4 will start her CA1. :xedfingers:

Notice many of your kids are having common test during this period of time but funny, ds sch has no common test. His sch only has a mid year and final year exam that’s all…is his the only sec sch that does not have common test? And what is the impact without them doing the common test?

Personally, I think it is beneficial to have Common Tests. The kids are taking many new subjects for the first time and it is a good gauge of how well they are coping. If anyone don't do well, the school will identify these students early and they will have to undergo Structured Study Programme.

Common test are over...he did well for some subjects, now waiting to know results for history, science and English. I encouraged him to keep it up.

Daughter having CA Chinese 2day...started last Thur with Math.
Supermarkets are kinda empty...could be some parents don't want to cook, preferring to eat at food courts/coffee shop and then quickly get back to revise with kids. Cooking and washing up can be time-consuming.
