HI fifiyeo,

Since it's the holidays, the best part is sleeping in late and not having to look at the time...that is luxury to me. Math & CL tuition still on-going...pushing a little hard on EL Synthesis, Cloze and Graphic Stimulus/Comprehension MCQ as EL enrichment resumes only when school reopens.

We're into December already...how fast time flies.

Hi Janet_lee88,

Oh at least you still manage to push a little in some areas. The only thing that will inspire my son to wake up early during the hols is cycling time with his dad and cartoons. Otherwise he'll simply remain in dreamland for as long as he can!

Yes, time flies, this time next year I hope he's not the one crying! CL tuition still ongoing. Other subjects he'll just wait till I scream my head off before he gets anywhere near his desk. :slapshead:

I aked him if it ever worries him when he looks at his report book. He simply nods and says sorry mommy plus promises that he'll work hard.
The next minute you see him running around and playing again just right after getting a lecture.

Hi
This scenario sounds familiar. My daughter is also doing the same although she is not taking PSLE next year.

Dear all mums & dad, I am so glad to find this thread (i have just discovered this site only days ago). There are so many of you sharing the same anxiety as me of having our DS/DD taking the psle in yr2012. I am sure I will be learning some tips from all of you here;)

Anyone can share vitamindz science?

my boy's sch used these papers this year as part of their P3 science learning.
i find them quite good. you mean we can buy outside at Popular bookshop? i didn't see them from Popular bookshop....

Vitamindz science is good.....
my gal's sch used their papers too....
during the sch holiday, they came to my gal 's sch to impart some answering skills of OE questions (think need to pay for it)....

i dont see it selling in Popular.

[HAPPYH]

No, Vitaminz is not in Popular. My school bookshop sells it. You can check in your school bookshop as well. Or even you can request for it. That is what my friend did last year.

Hi all,

I had joined Kiasuparents a few years back but had not been active. My ds is taking PSLE next year so I find this tread very interesting. I just cleared his cupboard to make way for P6 textbook and assessment books. Am looking for some good Science and English assessment books. Please recommend me.

Hi, anyone knows what are the p6 science topics?

Interactions covers 1) forces 2) living together 3) adaptations 4) man’s impact on the environment… What other topics?

Hi everyone! Actually I'm just a kid who just completed my psle s this year... Ya, mostly the school finishes the syllabus quite early (like term 2 end / term 3 early to mid term) and then gives u loads of mock papers and stuff... If u do hmt even worse, u get more mock papers and lots of homework (like me :P) the schools also give a lot of homework nearing the PSLEs so don't stress too much, just try your best to complete. Parents also shouldn't give too much unnecessary work and stuff and don't stress the child too much too, coz kids alreadyvhave loads if school work etc and dont need extra stress... Good luck to all pupils (and parents of the pupils) who are taking PSLE 2012!!!

Finally DS completed P3 & P4 Science topics. Moving on to P5. Hopefully we can complete!

Wow, done already ? We are in the midst of both...alternating between lower and upper block.

Hi mn,
For P3/4 MCQs, my son is able to score full marks (95%)...however, can't say the same for P5 topics. Our target is ZERO mistakes for MCQ. Got him to do Cycles OE just now (P5) and result was rather disappointing...so have to highlight and underline the keyword while marking.
