Arshi new school

Arshi has been going to Temasek Secondary School from this Jan and she has been enjoying the journey so far. It's quite near to our house and has direct bus to her school. HER routine after going to this school has changed drastically. I have noticed that she has developed  more discipline and punctuality  here than her primary school which was a stone's throw from our house .She wakes up pretty early, gets ready and comes pretty late that her primary school .I see this as her learning and growing up phase .Her subjects have also increased from mere 5 subjects to 8 plus subjects and arts and music being graded and counted for final assessments. SECONDARY  SCHOOL LIFE IS ENTIRELY  A NEW JOURNEY ALTOGETHER .So far she has finished 2 WAs and her scores have come and they are ok .There are room for improvement  and hope Arshi bugs up in months to come and catches up with her weaker subjects .I am amazed that she has dropped in science which was one of her strong subjects when she was in her primary school and she still continues to struggle with Maths .There are many new subjects like English literature  ,history, geography which are ending taught Nd grades and I feel that teaching in TMS is pretty good and they give good notes too for the students .The school I feel this year followed by moe recommendation  of scrapping SA1 for sec 1 has taken it seriously and I fond that arshi is indeed quite relaxed. She has taken Drama as her CCA and has to stay long for twice a week for that. Here all students should take any compulsory  CCA.She has also taken Higher Tamil Nd hope will sail through it successfully. Her school is also participating in this year's  NDP and Arshi will be part of a dancing segment .Rehearsals are going for that these days she goes for Saturday NDP training too .Looking forward for the kid's amazing performance this Aug 9.
So far Sec 1 seems smooth sailing with no major issues. Just want  her to do daily revisions of the lessons taught and periodically revising older topics .She hardly revises as I see her do her homework  and rarely revise if exams aren't round the corner .And if she revises  she will be revising for few days and then again be carefree bird .Consistent study and revision is something that she needs to keep in as her routine .
