For CF lesson, DS's chinese teacher touch on how to write un-official/personal letter （私函）& official letter （公函）they will get to learn it in sec 2. Havnt touch on textbook & 西游记 yet :scratchhead:


For MA, they did a research on Greatest mathematician and went to e library to do research on varies mathematics books. :?

IH teacher told them to read History textbook on their own during CNY & as for geography, were given some notes & told to do research on e internet :roll:

ELL- mao's last dancer chapter 1-4 only leh...

LSS- given notes to read

Seems like there are too much internet research involved + logging in to school website to check hw & other stuffs... too much time involved with computers :roll:

DS just told me that his Music teacher wants them to learn 4 songs by heart and will be tested on 9th week... and told them that if they don't pass, they may be sent to Q Class. :razz:


This week is the 3rd week.. so I gather 9th week = 27th Feb week.

3 of the songs are the Chinese School Song, 华中行 and 满江红.. :nailbite:

DS doesn't know what's the 4th song... anyone knows, please?

P.S. DS says today's pledge was in Chinese.. not all can remember the Chinese pledge.. so they pretend to know & murmur along.. LOL..

Hi mom.com, all e 4 songs can be found on this website http://www.wix.com/sec1soui/home/experience#!__experience/vstc3=school-songs/vstc1=life

Fret not. I think most of us are facing the same situation. The school's expect the boys to be independent overnight. It's quite a big leap and I believe it will take a couple of months before the boys adjust.

Totally agree. All the IP kids are expected to turn independent overnite - how possible is that. Some boys can do it quickly, some can't. Same for hand-holding parents - also will take months to adjust but ultimately have to loosen the grip. How long can we hold their hands and help them remember homework, pack the right things, remember which forms to hand up, practise the right worksheets to ace that test/exam? We are helping our kids by letting them go and handle their own things. If they forget anything and get shamed/chided in school, let them learn. It's all part of this next growing phase called secondary school. We just monitor the deviations and nudge them back to the right course as and when needed

Snow Crystal, well said! 你真是我们肚子里的蛔虫 :hi5:

ER:
