2019 Secondary 4 Week 17 Update

This is the start of exams week for both BB & GG. GG’s written exams already started, but BB’s written exams only start from tomorrow. He had his practicals earlier last week.

My nagging mum mode has started and I have warned both of them that if they don’t do well in this exams, then their June holidays will be spent at home doing exam papers and will not be able to enjoy their holidays at all. Hopefully this should spur them to do better in this exam.

After this exam is the prelims which will happen sometime in August and then the final O level exams in October! I will be so relieved once that is over, but then there’s the waiting for the results that will be nerve wreaking!

That is all from our side this week! Happy Sunday folks!

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!
