However, I do not believe in creating an incessantly "mugging" environment, preferring consistent revision versus last minute cramming. So we still have plenty of time for relaxation, although there were some rather intensive bouts of revision every weekday night, just before each test, which resulted in me neglecting poor Little Bee, whom I could only afford whatever little time left to read a book with her. I can't imagine the nights when Little Bee enters primary school as well!
Weekends before tests or exams are usually kept simple and relaxing for us, so we can have full flexibility to revise or to laze about. A languid weekend was what we had last week, and we emerged revived and rejuvenated, ready for this week's gruelling challenges!
We had a hearty breakfast in Botanic Gardens on Sunday, and ambled contentedly around the lush grounds, feeding the fishes by the lake and enjoying the serenity.
The Bees were very intrigued by what Big Bee called a long mysterious winding road that leads to nowhere.
We had a lackadaisical and serene afternoon, in between revision bouts, to wander around our estate, with the Bees playing with bubbles and chilling out with their friends. What a perfectly restful Sunday!

i love how you make an effort to balance work and play with your bees- and you did a good job too, judging from the glee on your bees faces!
Homeschool@sg: Thanks! I think it is important not to over stress our primary school kids too much, esp before tests or exams, so they can go for their assessments with peace of mind....
