My DS's Friend's Mother already \"ransacked\" Popular for Secondary 1 books :!: and have already started preparing her DS how to face the next round of challenges :shock:

I want to buy some sec 1 books, but dunno whether mum will allow. Now that PSLE is over, very free, so dunno wat to do also…

the second half of the psle week was v stressful for us cause the whole family came down with conjunctivitis!!! ds has to take his science and hmt in isolation. keeping my fingers crossed that his results are not affected because of this…
now that it is over, i have allowed him to do nothing but play and play…though i did tell him to be mindful of the fact that his brother is taking SA2 in a couple of wks time…
i have also told him to think about which sec school to apply. thinking of shortlisting some schools based on the different levels of t-scores…
as for books, do i need to keep for ds2 who is in p3 this year or is it okay to dump all?

Yes, you should shortlist some schools based on different t-scores. Do your research now. Attend Open Houses to get a feel of the ambience, culture and CCAs available there.the second half of the psle week was v stressful for us cause the whole family came down with conjunctivitis!!! ds has to take his science and hmt in isolation. keeping my fingers crossed that his results are not affected because of this....

My ds is in sec 1 this year. Last December holidays I bought some English, geography and history assessments. English exercises were to be done in the morning for an hour or so everyday and after that the whole day would be his. Result - i think he did 4 or 5 pages and the rest was left undone! the latter 2 i bought to help with his new subjects. didn't use it even! they get notes from school plus the projects and assisgnments were enough to take up their time (and beyond) and not leave any for \"home\" assessments. I now know how different sec school is from primary. Of course, at the end of the day it is also about time management. something my ds is still struggling to get a grasp of. I sure hope he will. :xedfingers: But i did go through history with him by using (apart from his txtbk) the \"Companion Guide to the living past\" by Andrew Major and Lee Si Wei. Publisher Marshall Cavendish. Found the book quite helpful.

CCA is very important in Sec school because of the 2 bonus point cut off the L1R5 and L1R4. Without the 2 CCA bonus point cut, the disadvantage can be considerable. -
