For Chinese, roughly I know what to get. But for English, I do agree with you that it's better to get 2 different titles - 'My Pals' for teaching purpose (pics and friendly fonts used can keep her attention) while Conquer for reinforcement. I do diff topic/subjects with her every night but will be more 'on' next year (P2).

Next year! P3 Got to teach Science :imconstipated:

I didn't even think about it....or peep the assesment books for p3

Just in case you're interested, there's a Conquer sci book for P2 to expose them to the basics of P3 sci.

Hello All,
LIke to log onto this forum although is for P1/P2 English but love to read what you all have to say & contribute :celebrate:

My gal is in P3 this year and I also have problems for Science...So, being abit paranoid and Kiasu - I bought her the Lower Science Booster Note in June last year for her to have a feel what \"Science\" is all about.

I also agree that English is very difficult to teach! I only get her the following 3 assessment books so far:-
1) Adventures in English Primary 3 (a rabbit on the front cover)
2) Challenging English 4-in-1 by EPH
3) Boost your creative writing skills lower primary by EPH

Hi Thank you for sharing. I could not find this book at popular

Hi Plum-cake,

Ha ha...very true!! The stickers were a fun way to introduce the concept of models to DD. Now that she has a better understanding of models, she's happily drawing models with her models ruler. She feels so grown up as she can be just like DD1....can upgrade to models ruler. She wants to know when she can use the compass??

wow :ugogirl:

Hi Plum-Cake,

My boy is in P1 this yr and I am having difficulty in teaching him, though I have assessment for English & Math but nothing for Chinese. Could you advice what should I do as my husband is not in favour of getting tutor for now although I have a good offer....... :?:

I can help you with whatever I know :offtopic:

Get it only if you have time...the book is quite thick.
Introduces the kid to topics like lifecycles.
If I can control not getting too many Eng, Chinese and Maths, I might be able to squeeze in Science next year.
HELP ! I need the 20% :?:

Hi plum-cake,

I have no idea if the Conquer Science will be avail at Expo but if you have the time this year to introduce Science to your P2-going on-P3 child, get it instead of waiting till BookFest in Dec.
