The exams have ended for the kids, and everyone is pretty hysterical and diffident to anything that resembles work anymore. X( So in a nutshell, all the kids are having the times of their lives in school, but we are faced with the job of keeping them occupied and entertained.
Personally, I'm in favour of just releasing all of them from school one week early and letting them romp around at home instead. Especially the primary 6ers, who finished their PSLE ages ago, and are just in school for... I don't know what purpose. Why keep them around when they are utterly disinterested in work anyway? And for their sakes, let them enjoy what days of carefree leisure they have before they have to face secondary, JC and even work.
And give us some kind of break from keeping them occupied too. :p
At least it's easier to occupy lower primary students. Give them a word search, a complicated maze, or bring tons of scissors and glue and get them doing some kind of models, or drawing, and they're occupied and happy. Try the same thing on upper primary students and you get the "duh" look.
Oh well... 2 weeks more and counting... :p Remember to start applying for leave, everyone!

I totally empathise because hey hey hey, try entertaining secondary school kids after the exams! It's a silly task as pointless as it is impossible. Every thing is duh, even if you try to screen a dvd, which of course begs the same question - why not just let them stay home for 3 days.
Worse still, this year my school didn't even maximise our marking days; only 1 marking day after the exams instead of 2 and after just one day's break, the kids return to school, unwilling, disgruntled, and just ever ready to give you hell.
