i only managed to squeeze in 'web of life' revision...hope SA1 doesn't include adaptations. daughter told me science teacher has been getting class to do MCQ questions in PSLE booklet for homework...there is english daily revision well for editing, synthesis and comprehension, so can hold back on my side.

My dd's school has not covered web of life nor adaptations yet. They have finished forces and are currently doing topic on energy.

forces and energy topics were completed in time for CA1. teacher has completed 'living things in environment' but i have to go through in-depth with her again as she wasn't able to do the questions under that topic. just done with 'rotting leaf community'.
school should be starting with 'food webs/food chain' next week

supposed to coach daughter in science topic on living things and their environment...but worried if she can remember topics taught earlier...in the end didn't start anything new last week. for science, she can't remember by listening to the teacher...she can only remember by doing revision after that...through questions, she will learn what has been taught...very much a visual person.

Problem with my dd is that even if she knows the method, theory and concepts, when the question is worded a different way or is twisted and asked in a different manner, she'd be stumped
So I guess she will improve by exposing her to more varieties of questions. Trouble is where got so much time?!

That's why the books such as LB and UB Frequently Asked Questions by EPH are useful. Let the kids read through the qns with answers when there aren't a lot of time.

i don't think it's the same...but given my limited knowledge of math, i can't explain the difference :oops:

it's already week 2...in about 4-5 weeks time, it will be SA1

Just to clarify... is NETS same as Tessellation?[/quote]NETS is like opening up a 3-d object. Or
Like cutting a paper such that it can be folded into a 3-d object.

Tessellation is arranging the same pattern repeatedly without gaps

SA1 timetable is out!

Now, I have dates of all the exams. In February, dates of prelims and psle were released.
Whew! So relieved ‘adaptations’ will not be included for SA1.
