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!

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!

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!

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!

We are at the last week of school now, though both BB & GG have to go back to in the June holidays for extra lessons.

Both schools are also doing intensive lessons for those who take the mother tongue languages of Chinese, Malay and Tamil. They will have their first attempt at the O level exams in the first week of June. Since both BB & GG’s mother tongue language of Hindi is not in this scheme, they, along with other classmates sit in the library and self study during this period.

We are also gearing up towards the Early Admission Exercise for Polytechnics. Both have specific courses they are interested in and will apply for them when the portal opens in end June. If they get selected in the course of their choice, it means even if their O level results do not meet the cut off points of that course, they still get in as long as they meet the polytechnic entry criteria and course base criteria.

That’s all from us for this week! We have the parent teacher session at the end of the week and I wonder what both sets of teachers will have to say for the children.
