My study tips.

I find that:

1. An Organisor helps with my time management.

2. Ask yourself questions. You will be wanting to learn by finding out the what is the answer and will remembered them (longer) compared to memorizing blindly.

3. Review what was taught at the end of the day while the mind is still fresh

4. Write neatly. Highlight key points. Tidiness and colors boost your mood to read the book. Highlighting keeps me busy looking out for important points and prevent me falling asleep.

Children's Day present

"The present, which will be given to the students ahead of Children's Day this week, has another purpose.
The present is a PSLE survival kit which contains a lollipop to help students lick their problems, chocolates to give them a hug when they need it and even an eraser to remind them that everyone makes mistakes and it's all right to do so.
Hopefully the kit will give children a boost whenever they feel tired, and encourage them to press on. The first PSLE paper kicks off on October 4"

I wish to have a children's day present too....
