<![CDATA[Sec 1 2012]]>2012 is the start of a new year.

It is also the start of a new chapter in the lives of our beloved children.

New friendships...
New ties...
New beginnings...
New fears...

But old friends can still connect here...
Caring...
Sharing...
Comforting...
Reassuring...

has anyone tried Dr Daniel's science tuition ? I was just browsing the index and found that he gave answers to some science questions.


No...DD is relying on herself.
The Science textbooks are pretty comprehensive...
At the moment, they are enough to guide DD along.
So not considering external help at all. 😄

What are the textbooks she is using?

No exams for Geog? How about History and Lit? How come?

Hi Jtoh

EL and Literature are studied as Communicative Arts may be I should put it at Communicative Arts exam instead of EL exam.

Yes, no schedule is given for Geog exam and heard from DD they will only start teaching the history on the Term 3 (after June holiday).

Oh that's interesting. So your dd does Geog in the first semester and History in the second semester? How about Science? Does she do Physics, Chem and Bio separately in different semesters too?[/quote]Yes, so far the History Book is still resting at home.

For Science, they started with Physics. Just like Geog, they are learning the relevant topics from Sec 1/Sec 2 book.

[quote=\"Pen88n\"]May? Brenda, your DD is having more time for revision. My DS' common test for all subjects starting end Apr. I wonder how prepared is my DS!


Hi Pen,

I think they do have some mini test but seldom see the paper return for signature.

Yes, you're right as DD still have quite sufficient time for revision.

As such, the focus will be in Math and Science since Geo is not going to be tested.


DS has his fair share of mini tests and graded assignments throughout the whole term. But this common test is like the mid year exam - all will attend the tests and go off after the tests (no more lessons). 2 subjects a day total 3 days 😓 . LA, HCL, Maths, Sci, Geog, Hist all included. No way to :siam:[/quote]Hi Pen,

:scared:

Seems like DD doesn't have so much graded assignments or min test lah! Hardly see her have homework too!

That's why she can still afford to follow those China Drama Show!

Yes, you're right.

DD said the teacher did not collect the worksheet today!

The 谚语 is various from 5 words to 14 words. DD knows close to half and need to learn and memorize the remaning.
At least your dd knows almost half. Quite good already. My ds i think only knows a small fraction of it . He is very weak in Chinese.

It's good they memorise the proverbs - will come in handy both in zhuo wen and main paper. I'm trying to encourage ds to memorise the proverbs - everyday at least five of them. Not just memorise but know how they are used in sentences.

Today DD brought home a list of 120 谚语 and few worksheets of exercise for these 谚语.


Think DD must be blur :siao: as she said must complete all the worksheets and submit tomorrow!

First time see her teacher so on! :roll:
Girls are girls, very obedient. Most boys may simply forget to do and wait for teacher to go after them.

Ds brought home some worksheets on proverbs too - but that was before the March holidays. About 10 pages long. Some three words chen yu some four words. But he took days to complete - everyday do a bit - and had to check chen yu dictionary a lot. So to complete it overnight...hmmm...can be quite draining.

Suggest your DS packed as per they suggest. They are probably engaging in some games and activities which will require the kids to be dirtied, thus the need to change clothes 😉 .

And maybe you should consider letting DS bring some \"older\" and \"thinner\" tops (not too hot) and bottoms to the camp. Differentiate which he should wear in daytime and which he should wear in night time for sleep. In case the older tops come back in condition not fit for washing, you can throw them away without feeling too much heartache :evil:. Same goes for shoes.

The top must be school related and we counted we have exactly 5 sets of school related T shirts so he is bringing all.
Bottoms never specified so we just let him bring black colours bottom.
Some parents actually rushed down to ACSI or bibi baba to buy extra t shirts .

Oh btw heard that bibi baba has shifted to Far East Shopping Centre (Not Far East Plaza, is the one next to Liat towers)

really? bibi baba shifted? is their phone number still the same?
