Thanks Janet for that tip :snuggles:

I really have to teach her the spellings of scientific terms/ key words.

Hi! Plum-Cake, Nice to see you online again! :snuggles: :hugs:

Key words are important in Science as told by DD1's T too! She said never mind if the English sentence is not correct in answering OE question, impt is the key word must be spelled correctly! :hugs:

Thanks Champion... You are really a Champion :hugs: :salute:

True, I am learning science :scratchhead: like am going back to school and buying science assesment books.... before she comes with a burning Q I have to prepare myself.

Hi plum-cake,
I am still learning and have a lot more to gain from experienced mummy like Janet_Lee & Brenda and many many more others too! :grphug:

Trying my best to help DD1 to manage her academic well so she will not out when moving up to upper primary.

For Science OE questions, grammar is not really emphasized but those crucial key words...my son had spelling in P3 for words like 'evaporation, condensation, leaf blade/stalk'.
I just finished 'colouring' the topic on Plant Systems in FAQ with my pink highlighter :rotflmao: My son is going to protest.

Janet! :salute: :salute: :celebrate:

You are a very dedicated & hardworking mummy to your children!

DD1's Science T still has yet to complete the syllabus for coming CA2 and I think she will rush thru the topics. So am doing my part to read up 1st and helps DD1 along the way. Hope I be able to manage

Hey Champion,
You can and you will manage...I have confidence in you. In fact, you are a very hardworking mummy esp since you're working. It's not easy to be a FTWM and yet so focused on children's education after a long day in the office. :salute: CA2 may be important, but don't burn yourself out too early. There is SA2 which is the most impt exam for the whole year.

:thankyou: Janet for the encoragement! :hugs:

Yes, sometimes really tired in the night to go thru the revision with her but am trying my best. Yes, SA2 is 50% and the whole year syallbus! :faint:

So, tell DD2 - Mummy will be more stern with her in Term 4! Haha...

We need to encourage one another with such a tough education system going on now. Remember don't get burnt out ok ? It's a torture recovering. I've been through it when my son was in P3 or 4. It took me 2 weeks to cool down mentally. SA2 in son's school is 70%.

If you can, plan SA2 revision time-table...it's better to start early and have some extra time to have a breather.

Hi Mummies,

I got my son to do a topic in ‘Learning Science’ (upper block) by SAP…didn’t quite like the answer given for some of the questions. For eg, there was a question on water droplets on an object taken out from the fridge & where the water came from.
There were no keywords provided in the answer sheet. Fortunately, I have FAQ to fall back on. So, do be careful when buying assessment books. Check up the answers provided b4 buying.

Yup...those are the ones. I still prefer Science Process Skills and New Syllabus Science by Helen Lee.
