hi all,
any suggestion on what kind of books should DD borrow from the library to read during this period?
wanna get her to read to learn more vocabulary, to prepare for secondary school. not sure which type of books or authors should she borrow

You can google on \"middle school reading lists\" for ideas. Look for a few in the library or on Amazon to gauge the standard expected, and just choose anything that looks about that level from the library. There are lots of great books for this age group. Get her to pick some non-fiction according to her interests to vary her reading too.

:thankyou:

My DS has the gut feel for his raw scores:
1. EL: 72-77
2. MT: 80-85
3. MA: 85-90
4. SC: 79-84
Any prediction of his T-score?

Nope. Depends on how cohort performs n his performance relative to that....

We plan to clean up my son study room, so messy now. After their PSLE, do we need keep any textbook or paper ? Will S1 need any reference from it ?

No need

anyone has the latest list of COP?

I don’t know where to post this question. I looked at the secondary threads. But don’t know where to post. Or maybe never look hard enough.


So anyway I just ask here. Maybe other parents have similar thoughts.

I want to buy a laptop for kid’s use in secondary school. Thinking that upcoming Tech Show, Sitex and Megatex IT fairs should have good deals. But is there such a thing as secondary students buy laptop through school, maybe school negotiates a good deal with vendor?

And I see sec school kids carry laptop to school. So lightweight and portability and battery life most important factors in choosing yes? Not biggest screen possible?

And can I say, that should not get Apple, cos of campatabilty issues? I assume kids will collaborate and share docs on projects?

some secondary schools may requires students to buy laptop, and they usually will link with vendors to provide student price to buy the laptop. and the laptop models will have already been reviewed and approved by the school. i will suggest to wait till reporting to secondary school. information usually will be provided during orientation day.
