Dear Parents,
After almost 40 weeks of school-going days, your child would have been thoroughly taught and equipped with the right level of know-how in his current academic year. The SA2 will serve as a form of a checkpoint to provide some form of indication on his competency and his readiness for the new academic level too.
While the upcoming school break is a time for you and your child to relax and recharge, it is helpful to also optimise the close to 60-days to maintain if not grow your child’s learning. Make full use of this window to recap and reinforce on core topics and concepts which he might be weaker in.
School may be out but the learning continues because for your child to do well academically, it is not just about intellectual ability. A successful student must also be able to apply what was learned to real-world situations by possessing skills in:
- Problem-solving
- Critical-thinking
- Time management
- Tasks planning
- People engagement
The recent PSLE hotly-debated question on circles is a good example that tests a child’s ability to problem-solve through critical thinking and not rote learning. Such is today’s education and benchmark for competency.
Give your child the edge in his learning with a good start for 2020 by helping him to better his soft skills during this holiday. How about trying some of the suggestions here shared by other parents:
