Laura02:

Dd classmate died last Tues, brain tumor. I cried. Dd cried a little. Most of her classmates, present and former, also cried. Even the teachers cried.

We went to her wake. Her mom was so strong, encouraging the girls to cherish the people close to them, to be strong and remember the good times they spent together. Her mom told us to be brave, as her daughter had been, as death is not an end, but part of a journey to a better place.

So sorry to hear this. News like that always makes me re-examine my priorities in life (esp wrt the children's), not to sweat the small stuff and to value & spend time with the people who are dear to me.

from the start of sch term this yr, dd brought at least 5 forms (may be more, i can't remember) from the sch to participant in various enrichment/competition..... i didn't sign up a single one.... if i do she may not even have time to sleep.....

:hi5:
the latest being the ICAS testing. That's 4 stay-back days less. Yay!

Now I'm glad dd does not go for any tuition, no supplementary lessons in the afternoons, just dance which she enjoys anyway. I'm glad she has time to enjoy the last two years of childhood.

What a brave mum! I'm sadden by such news, although I don't know them :sad:

Want to check, how long is your kids english paper two? Mine was 1hour 50min. My boyskipped his nap on monday to watch tv and resulting in 7hours sleep that day. He said the last ten min of the paper, he felt mental fatigue.

I thought he learnt his lesson, but I still have to nag him last night to stop revision by 9pm but he wanted to do a bit more and went to bed past 1030pm again. Today math paper was 50min plus 1hour 40min. Hope he kept an alertMind.

I believe the duration of each paper should be the same.

All the best to the kids going for their Little Professor competition tomorrow. :rahrah: :rahrah:

Oh, mine going today, his group selected to do a presentation, so these few days need to stay up late to prepare, so don't have much time to prepare for his HCL test tomorrow.

Wow, presentation? That's good. DD's mentor reminded them to bring materials for posters, as well as their mini aquarium.

Jedamum, for dd's schools, no marks is accounted for this CA1. As such, the school do not conduct tests for all the subjects.

Anyway, I was told by the school teacher that the P5 tests (if any) will follow exactly what it is like in PSLE in terms of format/duration of tests. I believe your school may be doing the same too. Because it is 1 h 50 min for English Paper, 50 min for Maths paper 1, 1 h 40min for Maths paper 2 in actual PSLE -exactly the same duration as your son's CA1.
