Popular should tie up with Maybank for credit card...

FYI the Maybank Family & Friends credit card has a tie up with Popular, Cold Storage, NTUC, Guardian etc, there's a 5% cash back when it's used at these places : http://info.maybank2u.com.sg/personal/cards/credit/family-friends-platinum-mastercard.aspx

Popular cashier told me no more 5% discount for Maybank credit card
I enquired at another outlet cashier also told me the same thing

Hi

FYI for those interested - I just enquired with Maybank on whether the Maybank card Popular 5% cashback is still valid as stated on their on-line application form. They confirmed that it is, and that this scheme is administered directly by the bank, which is different from those which Popular itself may have had in place previously, which is an upfront 5% discount. Don't actually remember if there was this scheme previously by Popular.

Anyway, just glad that there's still some incentive to use the Maybank card at Popular

Great to see that. So I still enjoy normal 10% at Popular and 5% from Maybank...10 years free subscription for Maybank Family & Friends credit card.

Hi Mummies with children in upper primary,

May I know what titles/authors for assessment books do you buy to prepare your children for CA/SA pls ? I’m getting a little worried preparing my son for his CA/SA as everything will be tested from this year onwards.

Hi Janet,



For science, we use past year top school papers to prepare for sa and ca and that is already quite alot.

All the best.

Leanne

I went through Science PSLE exam paper to see what kind of answers are expected. Answers provided are really detailed and what I like are the explainations to support the answer. Will ask my son to get 2011 next year.

Hi Mummies,

I know we use past year exam papers to learn/study for CA/SA.
Earlier, I mentioned that Teachers' Circle doesn't seem helpful...definitely a mistake on my part. I read some questions in Science P5/6 and going through the answers at the back. There are explainations provided beside the answer and mark allocation too.

Hi Janet

We also use this book. I tear the answer sheet and let dd read through the answer key.

Hi Janet,


My son did his PSLE last year and these are some of science resources we had ( can’t remember all - as most thrown/ given away alrdy) :

The Teachers’ Circle/ Teacher’s Network series
EPH Ultimate Science Guide

FBP Your Companion to Science - A Complete Guide to PSLE (personally like this for its detailed notes & layout) The equiv workbook Structured Revision Practice, which is on Sect B, we didn’t manage to do much - maybe only 10%. I still have this with me, those interested can get from me, I stay in the East, near Simei.

EPH Helen Lee’s Books

The orange Marshall and Cavendish PSLE book (Guidebk and Workbk) - these I found to be v.useful too.

Top schools exams papers - I find RGPS papers helpful as the answer sheet seemed to be the answer key from the sch itself - v.precise and marks allocation v. clear too. Other schools, after they’re completed by DS and I’ve gone thru with DS, I’ll flag those questions which I deemed to be good qns (aka spotting qns)

Oh, I almost forgot, there’s this book which DS’s sch recommended - Everyday Science for Primary Level by Teacher Works. Found that science concepts are explained in everyday scenarios; v.informative and interesting.

Just one last point, some of the hands on experiments we did together (on air, volume etc), I found it useful to use Yakult bottles to conduct the experiments. They are thin enough for us to poke holes through with a sharp scissors.

ALL THE BEST TO YOU! Can tell you’re a v.hardworking mum, but don’t burn out this year, pace yourself and your son so that he can peak at the right time next year. Cheers!
