Hey Mark,
There is this title of Science for P1/2. It's by SAP and title is 'conquer science'. Can introduce stuff like 'diversity', 'life cycles' to your son this year end holiday.

Oh great. Later I go BT Plaza Popular to get, since I'm on leave today. Thanks.

Since your son is going to P2 next year, no need to be kancheong about p3 science assessment yet. New titles keep coming up and I have a younger one too. Will let you know what titles i am buying next year.[/quote]Mark, u can consider the science miniencyclopedia, n science booster guide book for reading first..those 2 books r v good.. Can get from popular.. Read lots of non fiction books fr library also ...

[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Mark,

Might as well get Conquer Science for P3/4 too. Not only that, Learning Science for lower block too. Same publisher. :rotflmao:

Mummies and Daddies,
Mark goes to BTPlaza Popular. I think there isn't a safe place we can go without being caught by him. Even Orchard Rd is not safe bcos he may be accompanying his wife to shop or son to buy toys.

even Popular SengKang also on his list....

sinc he has not seen me before, i am still free to roam. [/quote]Same here... I also regular at Bt Timah popular...

HI drickymummy,

I don't like Popular at BTPlaza...too cramped. The best is at IMM bcos I know where the books are placed...free parking.
If time permits, I don't mind going to City Sq. There is my fav Dairy Queen ice cream there, near my daughter's school...away from Pei Hwa and Bukit Timah :evil:

Son's teacher said ALL exam scripts MUST be signed & returned tomorrow.

thanks markfch... when ruaqt2 posted the reply, i was about to ask her to the same question but decided to hold back and see who will be the next kiasu parent...your name was on the top of my list and it proved me right....hahaha.....

I know that you know that I'll ask. So to make your prophecy come true, I asked. Cheem ornot?

Mark, u can consider the science miniencyclopedia, n science booster guide book for reading first..those 2 books r v good.. Can get from popular.. Read lots of non fiction books fr library also ...

Thanks for the info. Yah I got ds the Sci mini-encyclopedia (yellow colour one rite). But he only read halfway, the second half he finds boring. Maybe too advance for him.

Who's the publisher for the Sci booster guidebook? I'll take a look since you recommended it. Thanks.

Janet, don't you know that markfch get his ds to study one year ahead...so p3 assessment bks are ok la....

I kept a Maths assessment book from my elder boy's P4 year (title :Challenging Maths, publisher: CASCO). Compared it to the newer same title from same publisher and concluded that the older edition's level of difficulty is much higher than the newer edition.

Mark, if you want to push harder, can consider looking in older bookstores for some subjects :evil:

My boy got back his EL, MA and CL paper 2 marks ytd. Happy that he has improved tremedously in the EL OE compreh. Disappointed that he has not prefected his checking methods in MA. Very angry that he did not improve in his CL paper 2 :frustrated:


Now waiting for Sci marks and the overall CL marks.

Hi Mark,

I have the Preston Science PSLE. This book has been around for donkey years. It’s called ‘Completely NEW PSLE Science’…covers P3-6. As parents here, we are ALL kiasu. But the education system made us so.
It’s partially due to experience…my son started Science only at P3 and it was an uphill task learning how to answer those open-ended questions and eliminating in MCQ section.

Since there is a simpler version at P1/2, why not introduce ? It’s simple, non-stress and fun…for eg colouring non-living things and circling the living things in the picture.
