Hi Mummies,


May I know if it’s another BIG BIG jump from P5 to P6? Thanks.

My advice is to get your child's P5 subjects well prepared. There is still teaching going on for all subjects. SA1 Math covers a big chunk, though not all, but enough to kill ME.

Sorry, Janet. Really LOL-ed at this!

I agree with Janet. Major stress is P5 - especially uptill July.
When the child has conquered P5, P6 is not so bad.

I am suffering in P3 itself. I cant think of P5 or P6. Hope I can sustain thro’ the journey.

Hi HAPPYH,

一步一步来。build the foundation well in P3 and P4. No point scaring yourself.

Somehow I felt my son didn’t come to P6 academically prepared. If parents can build foundation in P5, P6 will be much better. Last year was hell bcos he failed Math the whole year.

For my son, it is Chinese. Chinese teacher announced his marks in class today and that he has one of the lowest marks in class since he barely passed. Well he can come back and tell me about it as if it doesn't matter. :frustrated:

Regret not doing something about his chinese when he was in lower primary. Now i don't know whether it's too late. But still have to push on.

Hi linden2000,

Nothing is too late. Take a good look at CA1 and SA1 paper which area your DS makes the most mistakes. Is it comprehension ? Compo ? Work on the weak areas. There is still time from now to Prelim and PSLE.

Don't give up without a good fight! At least at the end of PSLE, your DS can honestly say to himself - he has given his best so no regrets ! :rahrah:

Jia you ! :stompfeet:
