Preparing for the new school year

Ok I admit I'm a little kiasu. Like most parents I do not want my children to be left out when they start the new school year next year. So here's what I'm going to do with little prince and princess during the holidays.

Princess:
- Revise Year 1 Mandarin, Maths, Moral Studies.
- Start preparing for Year 2 Maths and Science. Was stuck after the first chapter of Maths and Science as it is all new things to her, so I think will focus on strengthening her grasp of Year 1 work such as recognize key words and learn how to interpret questions.
- Also start work on her English grammar and reading as it seems to be deteriorating from lack of conversational practise as compared to last year.
- Work on method for composing better sentences in Mandarin and BM with subject and object, improve on her weakness for this.

Prince:
- Work on conversational BM, English and Mandarin in preparation for the goverment assessment next year.
- Prepare according to syllabus of Kurikulum Standard Prasekolah Kebangsaan (KSPK)
- Start work on Maths workbooks which is written to meet KSPK criteria
- Ensure he knows Mandarin characters in KSPK and also can recognize key words in question paper
- Go through Moral Studies values in Mandarin as he learns this in English at his kindy, maybe leverage on princess' workbook for Moral Studies.

Some of the above will be for the holidays, some will have to extend over to the new year. However definitely there will be time for play and cartoon. Hopefully can balance up their work and play time.
