And it is not projectors either (that is for projecting slides), it is protractor :rotflmao: Can see how \"stress\" and \"disoriented\" Janet is :evil:

Sori, Janet, this panda can't help teasing and being naughty :oops:

By the way, even for P6 circles topic, no need for compass at all. Kids not required to draw circles with compass.

Hahaha…it was my bad for misleading Janet. Okay, protractors!

Ah ok, no need compass!

So fast p5 academic year will end soon! So we migrate to the 2012 p6 thread, ya?

You got me...I'm so super blur. This has been a tough year with younger one in P1. Looking back I took P1 too seriously...learnt to let go a bit late. Wanted to prepare her foundation and not wait till too late. However, I realized I had to handle her mood and character which is very different from son.

Well, after 2moro's Science, we will all graduate to 2012 P6 thread.

Maths paper is tomorrow and I must say I really hate those heuristics questions! Matchsticks, table arrangement, tile patterns, sigh. It's fun to do those kind of questions at leisure but under exam and time pressure, it's tough for the kid to spot the pattern. Sometimes I myself only spot the pattern after half a day of thinking.


Thanks Pen88n for the tips, also need to go buy the spares. Totally slipped my mind.

My DD’s SA2 ended on Monday, results would be streaming in these 2 days…stress! Try to be supportive and tell her PSLE is more important, but can’t help but stress within…haha!

Anyway it's over. Don't look back.... look forward..... :boogie:
And yes... PSLE is more important. Less than 11 months to go.

HI Ladies,


I love to stock up on stationery...it's so enjoyable to fill up the basket during Bookfest with all the diff things (all the stuff Picolo mentioned) bcos when I open the drawer at home, I like to be able to find what I want. This time round, have to get more 2B pencils for PSLE and Brother label with pink/yellow/green background.

For me, worse, I fill up trolleys! But over a few days during the fest and stocking up for my home office too. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone... I prefer to bulk-purchase once every half to one year.

Janet, are Brother labels good? What do you use them for? How do you compare them with those transparent labels?

I bought the Brother label maker for home use...very easy.
Use it to label files (diff subjects), pencil case, shelf, books etc etc. Many things to label So I am going to note down everything I need for my stationery drawer. Bought pink, yellow, green background.
