2019 Secondary 4 Week 26 Update

Term 3 of school starts tomorrow and this means that their prelims is just a month or so away. It also means that their O level oral exams will happen in August. GG is already kind of freaking out about school but BB is still chill about it.

The EAE portal for polytechnics has also opened and we have submitted our applications. Now, we need to keep fingers crossed and pray that both get an offer for the course they are most interested in.

It is going to be hectic 4.5 months until the end of the O level exams. Till then, its all systems go for us!

Have a wonderful weekend!

2019 Secondary Four Week 25 Update

Holidays are almost over and luckily both have finished up their holiday homework too. Now they can spend the rest of the holiday revising school work.

GG has her mother tongue intensive lessons this week and then there’s the EAE portal which opens up this week too. I have all my fingers (and toes also) crossed that they both get their course of choice.

That’s all for our week, see you next week!

2019 Secondary 4 Week 24 Update

Week 2 of the school holidays has just ended and we are at the halfway mark for the holidays.

The children had a couple of combined studies with their friends and they did say that they managed to do a fair bit of revision. I have told them, if studying with their friends is good to to studying well, then I don’t mind them doing them even a couple of times a week, at least till school reopens.

There’s really nothing much to add to the children’s schedule this week. They are busy completing their holiday homework and also trying to catch up on revision.

Have a lovely Sunday!

2019 Secondary 4 Week 23 Update

This week saw the start of the school holidays here in Singapore, but for BB & GG, it was school as usual. Both had to go back to school for some intensive lessons so that the teachers can complete the syllabus.

The children also had a combined study session with BB’s besties. Since BB and his besties are pure science students, they were able to help GG with some of the issues she had in science which was a win-win situation for all.

This week also both have schools on different days and after this week, they can finally start their holidays. But this holiday (and all until mid November) are only reclassified as study breaks so it’s back to hitting the books for them. They also need to work on their EAE statements for the courses they are interested in.

That’s all for the week, have a wonderful Sunday!

2019 Secondary 4 Week 22 Update

School is out for the semester, but this doesn’t mean that BB & GG get a free pass and get to enjoy your holidays. They have to go back to school some days this week and next before they can start their holidays. Also teachers have planned on giving them homework during the holidays, so this is a working holiday for them.

We went for the parent teacher meeting on Friday and BB’s teachers had good things to say about him even though he didn’t do so well in his mid term exams. They see a lot of potential in him and hopefully BB sees what we adults see in him and works hard during the next few months leading up to the prelims in August.

BB was given the model student award again for this semester. She won it for the first time when she was in Sec 1. I was surprised she won it this time because she didn’t do very well academically, but according to her form teacher, she was given the award for her positive attitude, her can do spirit and the fact that she is such a hard working girl. I am very happy for her.

That’s all from the schools for us. Have a wonderful Sunday folks!
