[quote=\"ksme\"]Can I ask the experienced parents here whether we need to keep P4, P5 textbooks for PSLE Chinese exams revision? I know Science we should keep but what about Chinese?

So far I never keep. Not sure how about other parents.

Normally I donate it to the NTUC free textbook program so was wondering if I need to keep this year for PSLE.

Beside the text books, my sister in law also wanted the used Maths Activity book and CL Activity books as she said these can save her headache if my nephew comes across any problem.

I will usually ask for the social studies answer sheet.


Cos more than often I dont know where is the answer.

Happy Holidays.

Hello,


I throw everything.

I know for science, I should keep but I also throw.I know in pri six , there are so many worksheets, etc and I will never look back.For pri three and four science books,or even pri five, I keep in the storeroom, cos i dont think i will refer.

For math, all past year papers i also throw, books too, that is pri five level.As have mentioned, pri six have too many things coming in, I dont want to keep for the sake of keeping.


Cheers

Hello mummies,


Any regrets in pri five level?Yes for me, I bought too many chinese assessment books and never touch.Focus too much on math.I realised that doing math is learn to process and understand it and not just do and forget.This is something that DS has not captured the art of doing math.Hope before psle, he is able to see it, so dont have to do math till FACE GREEN GREEN.He partial doing it by route learning and half processing…If process skill is there, do not need to spend so much time on it and focus on Chinese instead.

Hi Leanne

My opinion in maths, there are some models (ratio etc) that take the longer time to remember the application. However once the child grasp the method well then it will be easier to solve the maths questions.

So far the weaker area dd done was CL compo. However I'm still happy that she was ranked no. 18 in the School Level of CL may be due to she did quite well in CL P2. Plan to let her read most CL story books (xiao mao ri ji etc) as I find this is the better way to improve in the CL Language. One book contains about 72,000 CL words.

HI Leanne/Mummies,
I am following this thread faithfully, and hope to pick up as much valuable tips as I can to prepare my son who's going to P5 next year. I think I've bought many P5 assessment books too (yup kiasu as usual ) A friend told me not to buy too many as there is no time to touch them. I've only bought 4 sets of CL assessment books for the tutor and to cover CA1/SA1/SA2.

Leanne, would you be able to PM me the titles of CL assessment books pls ? Maybe I can check them out and get some from you. Thanks.

I filed up son's CA/SA exam papers since P1...kept up his Eng and Maths textbooks. Dumped his Eng, Maths and Science workbooks/activity books and Higher Chinese textbooks. Happiest time of the year for me is to do spring cleaning after SA2.

Hi Brenda,


DS also starts reading xiao mao ri ji, but not really indept as needs me to read to him.So, I read one chapter to him and he read one chapter to me.No choice cos he is totally anti chinese.Did you make your dd copy down all the chinese vocab being read?

Thanks
