2019 Secondary 4 Week 16 Update

This week was a relatively short one because of the Good Friday holiday.

All CCA has been suspended and for both this is the end of CCA as they start to gear up for their O levels.

GG stepped down as her CCA Vice President to tears and laughter. Her juniors all gave cards, notes and small presents to the seniors and she got more than her share of the goodies! They had a pizza party to celebrate the end this batch and the new CCA leaders.

BB’s CCA has still not thrown a farewell party to the graduating cohort, so this is something that he will still look forward to.

Next week is exams week for both. BB has practicals this week and then the written exams will only start from the week after while GG’s exams including practicals start from next week.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

2019 Secondary 4 Week 15 Update

This week was the SYF judging for GG’s choir. They had practiced real hard, but somehow managed to goof up during the actual competition. This is according to their conductor. She was so upset and said some of the girls even cried. They don’t really expect much, and she feels she can’t even brag about it if she wants to use it for college applications.

I rounded the week at BB’s school for their annual day. Because I am fairly active in the parent support group, I was (along with some other parents) given an award by the school. BB had an e-learning day and managed to finish up all the e-learning tasks within an hour or so.

Exams start the week after next and the children are busy with school work. They should also step down from CCA soon and then can utilise that time for more school work. After all, the O levels are less than six months away!

Have a wonderful Sunday.

2019 Secondary 4 Week 14 Update

School continues and soon it will be time for the mid-year exams at the end of this month. BB’s school has already released the timetable for the exams, but GG’s school still needs to release the timetable.

Otherwise, school is going on as per normal. CCA’s should step down sometime after next week. GG has her Singapore Youth Festival competition also next week, which means more CCA practice time for her. She has been pretty exhausted these days due to long CCA hours.

They also had their Hindi mid year exam over the weekend, and all I hope for them is that they pass the exam. One more exam and then it’s the O level exam, after which both don’t want to do this subject anymore.

That’s all from the children in school this week. Have a wonderful Sunday!

2019 Secondary 4 Week 13 Update

School started and in the beginning of the week, I went to GG’s school for a breakfast session with her principal and school leaders.

It was a light hearted session and GG’s form teacher had only good things to say about her. Though he doesn’t teach her any subject, he has heard about her from her other subject Teachers.

Otherwise the week was the usual one. Pace has slightly increased because schools are trying to finish the syllabus by the end of this term so they have plenty of time for revision.

GG is also gearing up for the Singapore Youth Festival, after which she steps down from her CCA, both in terms of leadership as well as actual CCA.

Hope your Sunday is as good as mine promises to be!

2019 Secondary 4 Week 12 Update

This week is the school holiday week but GG barely had time to breathe. She was practically in school almost every day and got so tired that she says she wants a holiday before school starts tomorrow.

BB on the other hand, surprisingly didn’t have school at all. I was actually surprised by this given that they are the pure science class but I guess his teachers do enough of extra lessons during term time that they probably felt it was unnecessary during the holidays.

School starts tomorrow and with that term 2 where the pace will be intensified to rush to finish the curriculum before June so that students have ample time to revise for their O levels.

Have a wonderful Sunday folks!
