Exams are done and dusted for BB & GG and from tomorrow they will start getting their results.

They also had a long weekend since both schools had marking days on Friday and they went to see the new Avengers movie with their primary school friends.

I also went to an OBS-MOE open house over the weekend to check out what BB will be doing at his OBS camp later in the year. It was a great experience, though I was put on observer status because of my medical condition. I’ll do a more detailed post, especially from a parents point of view later in the week.

Today is Mothers Day and so here’s wishing all Mums who read this post a very Happy Mothers Day. What has your children planned for the day?

It’s exams week in our home so not much to update except exam related stuff.

Both are almost at the 50% of exams as of today and they have another four days of exams to go which end later in the week. The week will end with a holiday for both for marking so we’ll start to know the results when school starts again on 14 May.

As for exams, with the exception of a couple of subjects, both GG & BB say they have done reasonably well. As usual, BB has made some careless mistakes (I am still waiting for an exam where he manages to complete an exam without these mistakes). I’ll know for sure when the papers come back after being corrected.

Hope you’ve had a good weekend so far!

Tis the season for mid-year exams, la…la…la

GG’s school starts their mid-year exams at the end of this week and BB’s school starts next week. Both their exams end on the same day and they have a longish weekend for paper marking and then it will be results time!

I have been behind BB a lot these days because he has become very lax with regard to his school work. As I write this post, both are busy doing timed papers. I really hope he does enough to do decently in his exams. I’ve given him multiple pep talks and am so frustrated that all my talks seem to go in from one year and get out from the other year without spending time in his brain.

GG, on the other hand, is more focused on her work. She knows what subjects she is weak in and spends more time on those.

Ok, got to go and check on them. Hope you have been having a fantastic Sunday so far!

Another week and we are inching closer to the mid-year exams. GG has started to become stressed over the exams because this is the first major exam she will be giving after moving to the upper stream.

BB, on the other hand, seems as blase as he usually is. Sometimes (actually most times), I worry about this boy. When I ask him what he wants to do in life, beyond saying he wants to become an aeronautical engineer, he does not know.

Other than that, nothing much happened in school.

Have a great Sunday folks!
