I wanna know:
Its always difficult to choose between carrot and stick approach with kids. In my case motivation works more then threat. With my elder kid it always backfires whenever i try to be tough.sunny:
Hi parents, could you share how you motivate your child to do revisions and work hard willingly for the coming psle? Mine STILL grumbles a lot when asked to do revisions especially redo those questions that were answered wrongly previously. DC esults is more on B or low A currently.
Hi, my DD is also a passive learner when it comes to subject she dislikes . Recently tried to motivate her with the following :
1. Display the days countdown to psle like a mini calendar and tear one day off everyday to remind her time is running out.
2. Wrote some motivation notes with drawing like 几个月后的你会感谢今天的你。
3. Telling her that she will be responsible for the consequences. Next year will wash my hands off her and just let her learn the hard way. That's life.
4. Telling her to face the tough math questions instead of avoiding it as it will continue to haunt her if she don't overcome it, even in Sec sch.
The combination of all does work on her. Though it's not a drastic change, I see some improvement in her attitude. Hope its of help to you. -

we always choose latest, current Psle year to practise, in case due to some Moe syllabus change, to certain subjects (paper)[/quote]Yup, for CL, the change in format for Paper 2 (and oral) came into effect last year. Thus, won't be able to practice certain sections like 阅读理解二-书面互动 if past year school paper is before 2017.janet88:
[quote=\"gafield\"]May I know why prac p6 2018 sa1 paper?
it's to expose the kids to the type of questions which would be tested.
the most current and maybe last year's prelims would be good as practice.
Also, in P6 2nd semester not much new topics are taught so there isn't as big a 'disparity' as compared to say P5 SA1 vs P5 SA2 -

Yeah! -
I realise there is a difference between practice for kids and that for adult mentors. For adults it is about putting our minds to rest for a few mins (until the exams are over). For kids it is about placing THEIR minds to rest, which I feel is more important. Let our kids decide if exercises are too much for them. I feel they know best what is good for themselves.
