2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

Hi Brenda,


Quite true.That is why I start to doubt the assessment books that I have bought for ds.Think its not as hard as compared to the paper.

I guess the chinese paper is testing how careful and analytical a kid is rather than how good your chinese is.
Thus, practise more and get more exposure on the kind of questions.Sounds like math papers now...hahaha


Cheers

Hi Leanne

Like inflation around Singapore, everything also increase (degree of difficultive increase).

Some of the Compre (3 MCQ ) in paper 1 that dd brought back also not easy to do as all the answer are quite close to each one. :?

True. Is better to screen throught and be selective otherwise all the time and effort are in vain.

[Leanne]

You are right, brenda.


I take thing for granted.Just buy and dont really bother to screen...now, suffer the consequence.

Hi Leanne

Perhaps is the \"demand cannot meet the supply\" theory lah. Unless the assessment books are always revamp (time and cost incurred) otherwise it may not on path with the latest papers that school given.
Just my 2 cents thought

Hi Pen88n

I like your above quote. Will share with DS when he comes home later.

Yes, I like it to will share with my ds at my fb. Thanks, hifive for yr sharing.

Thank you all for your \"compliments\" :love: - glad you find \"sense\" in the \"quote\" to share with your kids. Maybe one day my DS will tell me how is it his frens or classmates' mummies are all saying the same phrase to their kids...... [/quote]oppss...I got it mix up, thanks to Pen88n for sharing.

Hi Brenda,

Not exactly sure why, cos I yet to see how he gets 3 mcq wrong for the entire paper.
I asked again, he says its not the words or meaning very close but they are of vast different.Anyway, dont really know what it is.

I guess its the techniqe in doing the questions, not so much on the assessment books.I have thrown out few assessment books as ds never have a single mistake in it.

Hi Brenda,


Cool...you went to Time Zone with your DD. Do you play with your DD, or just watch? Cedele is nice....love their Egyptian Mint Tea.

Have fun watching the Winxclub DVD over the weekend. If your DD likes sci fi/fantasy, maybe can go and watch \"I am Number 4\". DD watched it today & really enjoyed the movie. :lol:

Hi Tinkerbelle

Yes. I play two games with her and she was very happy that day as we meet the criteria of 吃喝玩乐.

Thank you for your recommendation and we will go for this show. :celebrate:

Sounds like \"I am Number 4\" is a not-bad....DS has completed the book days back before the show started screening in cinema. Though he is not interested to watch now, this mummy is now interested due the 'influence' here by ksp parents.. ..... :lovesite:

Hi Brenda & Leanne,


DD also mentioned her Maths & science papers were tough and some students didn't even have time to finish their papers. Dunno her results yet and haven't seen the papers so I'm wondering if the papers are set harder in preparation for PSLE (wishful thinking on my part) or just my DD not keeping up :nailbite:

Hi Tinkerbelle

Don't worry. I use to hear that the school would usually set the paper tough for P6 in the CA1 so as to make the parent wake up and work extremely hard with their children.

So far dd EL and Maths are still quite ok except Science a bite weaker.

Anyway, there is still time to catch up. 加油

Yes, time to catch up but time slips fast too
But parents also need to rest, so March holidays is a good recharge for both parents and kids :celebrate:

Go to Maid's McGrill promotion 1-for-1 in KSP forum and print out voucher to bring your kids to try out the new burger in McDonalds (till 7 Mar only). Taste good and DS and I like the ingredients - piece of chicken fillet (instead of the usual processed meat), fresh lettuce and slices of tomatoes. Really worth the deal.
