Hi cwc,

Your child is well-covered until P6 and yes, I agree with you, these are just the guides...haven't posted pic of assessment books yet. My hubby will go :!: if he sees what I have bought.

Janet, I can imagine the number of books you have too. Thank goodness you have your DD who can use the books (provided syllabus remains unchanged). :celebrate:

Bcos CA and SA will include everything from p3 from this year, I see no prob for him to finish what I have bought. So I should have a stack of science assessment books when he is done for PSLE. Hopefully syllabus will not change much when younger one goes to p3, then just buy the same assessment bk for her.

Wah, I must buy bigger shelves already.

Hi Happy Mama,

Yes, I need more shelves definitely…esp for P5 son. As it is, kept up some impractical books in cupboard. Told hubby need to get shelf for daughter’s room so as to transfer her books back to her room.

For Science guide and assessment, you will need to keep them all from P3 onwards.

My hubby doesn’t ask me for KPIs bcos he knows I will use up all the Science books.

Hi Champion,
I have Lower Block ‘Everything you need to know about Science’.
*Not practical bcos it is too in-depth and doesn’t quite relate to topics/what will be tested. Personally that’s what I think.

Science Booster.
*Purely for reading bcos again it doesn’t relate…good as reading material. Honestly, I feel like selling off Science Booster A & B.

HI Ladies,

Son just completed 2 thematic tests on Cycles.
*Longman Weekly is bearable and for keeping the brain working.
*Oxford Science (2 squirrels on cover) is not bad. By Teo-Gwan Wai Lan.

Hi Janet,
Yes agrees - during the Parents-Teacher-Meeting, the Principal stresses a lot that we need to keep all the books & notes for Science from P3 onwards till PSLE. Yes, I am also clearing up space in the cabinet so that I can store DD1's books + notes + guide & assessment books.

For the above 2 books - I did browse thru when in Popular but did not land a hand to buy it as I was looking for something that is detailed but easily understood

Janet,
I really :salute: you - I guess - no should not use \"guess\" - should be \"very sure\" you have the whole range of Science Assessment + guide books at Home! :!: ...How does your son find time to do? My DD1 is so \"reluctant\" to co-operate with me to do assessment books! And this morning we just have a fight over doing past year exam papers :spank:

Haha...sorry for my \"kapoh-ness\", I upload the above 2 books you mentioned - the pic here to share with others :hi5:

Hi Champion,
Thanks for uploading the pics of the 2 books.
He was supposed to get them done last night, but mummy here needed a break, so we went to Orchard after tuition yesterday...sure felt good :imcool: in fact told hubby must do this more often...hahaha.

My son co-operates with me where Science assessment is concerned...bcos he likes the subject. If I give him 2 Math assessment instead, he will complain & whine for the next 1/2 hour.
Haven't started past year papers yet...now focusing on assessment book.

Guess due to the tons of homeworks over this weekend + her tution class h/w & corrections, my gal is totally burnt out ....

The whole of today, she only managed to do 1 EL Worksheet on grammar & 1 Science MCQ :faint:...Hubby took her & DD2 for grocery shopping in the late morning and she took a 1.5 hour nap after lunch. Then Dear Hubby said, \"Ok, Let's go do some exercise - how about a bicycle ride round the neighbourhood?\" There it goes - it won't be before Dinner time that they will be back :roll:

Frankly speaking, I am :x that Dear Hubby did not support me to push DD1 to do more revision. But on the other hand, I must admit that I do want her to relax a bit :imcool: . Ok, very \"contradicting\" mummy here! Just hope she will co-operate with me better else It will be my turn to :faint: :clubmyself:

Can be very frustrating :x :rant: when mummy here wants revision (NEAR SA1) done and hubby wants to play VERY good guy by bringing kids out and getting them all tired. Chill out is fine but not over-done. Had agreement with son...if he takes a nap, I will get him go play tennis.
