TheAnswer:

May I ask which school is this? 100 chemistry questions is scary.

Fo gal's sch, it is 100 Maths questions......
Every yr is the same....but \"fortunately\" it is during the Dec Holidays.....

Psst Jedamum, your CCA... was it book club?

:scared: didnt have book club back then leh...
was in the BAND!!! 3x a week!! Saturdays training was from 8.30/9am (can't remember) to 5pm. would borrow instrument (and music stand) home and went on and on on Sundays. but still...CCA points only B4 nia because not leadership post.

DS school even had supplementary class for the holidays…but I refused to let him go because I strongly think he needs a life outside school too.


So besides his tuition, we took him to Ubin to cycle & catch crabs on Monday…we went for drumming workshop on tues, wed & thurs. Cannot believe that I can play the drums too.

DS said he wanted to learn to fish so we spent the rest of the week fishing. We went nite fishing and moon gazing at the same time on eve of Good Friday and hit the sea again with his dad kayaking along the east coast the next day !!!

Of course we also keep our routine workbook practises so as not to slack but overall he had a good break I said…with a good healthy tan (^.^)

Honestly, I don't think the one week holiday is really intended for kids to relax. It's more like for parents and kids to take stock of what happened in the previous semester, and to get ready for SA1. My kids went to their favorite Science Centre and watched the Panda show at the Omnimax, partly to have some fun, and partly to fulfil my P2 daughter's \"holiday assignment\" of preparing a Show & Tell of what she did during the holidays. :faint:


Anyway, we were all busy doing housework as our maid went back for her vacation in Philippines for 3 weeks. So we had fun doing house cleaning, sweeping & mopping floors, ironing clothes, killing bugs, etc.

we played some board games, not only to relax, but also...[repeat the above sentence in red, but replace \"P2 daughter's\" with \"P1 son's\"]

Lol... are our sensei's lacking in creative imagination these days? How come all show & tell topics are alike? Why not topics like these:
- How I beat up my obnoxious brother for disturbing me all the time
- The Day when I bit into chocolate directly out of the freezer and lost a tooth
- How I got chased by a dog that I was trying to befriend
- ...etc.
