Sure...my legs were itchy to check out Everyday Science yesterday and also to see what's new in Popular. Saw several P2 Vocabulary books (4 for $10)...upper primary ones are mostly sold out.

Haha..your \"legs bring you to IMM Popular\" again? Yup, last Sunday Hubby got the 4 for $10 book and the P3 Vocab already out-of-stock so he got the P4 one. Have put it aside first; maybe 2nd part of the year then take a look :lol:...

Janet, :offtopic: a bit - can share with us how you plan the Science Revision with DS? Especially nowadays kids have so many homework everyday - I am fighting time to coach DD1 in the later part of the evening or over the weekends :lol:

Agree with you...time is so tight. Since son's Maths is weak, I allocated 2 days for revision. Science is done only on Saturday night...I shoot the whole chapter on 'Cycles' from Helen Lee's book for eg and he will get it done, then I'll mark it and explain where his mistakes are.

Thanks for sharing once again; appreciates much much :grphug:

DD1 is also weak in Maths - especially now into Division and is slowly grasping the concept :lol:..Hoping and that she masters the foundation strong so she will not have difficulties moving up the ladder ...

Still pushing her to do more reading and revision on Science - still writing answers based on \"English language\" standard rather than \"Science\" way ...Especially when there is a question like,\" States the similarity/difference between Animal A and Animal B.\" She will always use English term like \"Animal A jumps but Animal B crawls\". She will argue saying, \" Mummy, this is correct what! I use present tense and singular - why teacher marks me wrong?\" Alamah - I :faint: :faint:

It was very tough when my son was in P3 and new to Science...had to keep explaining to him that Science facts more crucial than grammar-perfect answers...so I understand perfectly how you feel. Guess mummies in P6 understand my frustrations with a P5 son.

Hi Champion,

I know you have several Science assessment books already, but when there is 20% discount at Popular, do check out Science Explorer...considering getting P3/4 as I like the concept maps.
Looks like a portion of the $$$ govt giving will be spent on assessment books :roll:

Hi Janet

Look like some portion of our $600 dollars will go to Popular's pocket lah.

Hi Janet,
Thanks again for your :idea: - Yes, I am waiting for the 20% discount coupon and will go get the Science Explorer .

Yea - Gar Men gives $$$ for us to contribute to Popular :rotflmao:....Told hubby,\" Please transfers the $$$ you get from Gar Men to my account please! Else I will send the Credit card bill to you for settlement!\" :lol:

Actually, I am thinking to make a trip to Big Bookshop Clementi. The other time I got my \"Visible Thinking 3A\" from there as that outlet was the 1st to have it from Marshall Canvendish before any of the Popular outlet :D. Maybe I am lucky to discover \"treasures\"

I told hubby the amt I spend on assessment books is under HIS account. If possible, give me the $100 from his 'govt-so-called angpao' to me as well...hehehe...what is that extra $100 to him ? I am SAHM, so need some incentive to work... :rotflmao:

Hi NB

Is not easy to get them to read and also not sure how many can be absorb.

I go by the short cut , work on MCQ directly and if there is any doubt then clarify.

Read the question vs the answer key when closer to the exam time.
