I need recommendations please as I am looking for Primary 3/4 (Lower Block) and Primary 5/6 (Upper Block) books for my children.


I hear Janet Sims (http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=19568&start=650) is well rated or
I would like a workbook come revison book; any help appreciated.

Hi,
My 'latest collection' of Science for reading is Janet Sim's Lower/Upper Block Science FAQ' (the one you posted)...peacock on cover for lower primary and grasshopper on cover for upper block.
The other must-have 'bible' is Ultimate Science. I would advise you to get the PSLE edition so that you don't have to get 2 books.

For workbook, I have several :roll: but these 2 are helpful:
*Lower Block/Upper Block New Syllabus Science Book 1/2 by Helen Lee (EPH).
*Primary 3/4 Conquer Science (SAP)

Janet,
I am still hesitating; contemplating; in dilemma to get the JAnet Sim Lower Block Science FAQ....

Took out those assessment books; Re-arranging my cabinet this morning and am planning to do \"some serious revision\" with DD1 :evil: :evil:

Hi Champion,
I've finished copying out the answers and highlighting those in BOLD for son to read. The font used for answers in the box are TOO small...so my upper block FAQ book is colourful with pink, orange and green. Told hubby I won't be touching the chapters on \"Electrical Systems\" as I'm just not a 'Magnet-Electric circuit' person :sick:

Thank you Champion and Janet_lees88 for your great advise.


Champion, your response was not long-winded it was perfect and informative,

Janet_lees88, I get the impression that the "Conquer" series in Eng, Maths and Science would be stretching for my DS, so I will buy those.

Thanks guys.

This week DD is on the last revision topcis/paper and left about 8 lessons to go before the PSLE. They will be doing few prelim papers and PSLE revision papers.

Hi, Brenda,
Afternoon! :hi5: Yes, left 3 weeks for revision before CA2! Though it is only 10% but every mark counts and I just want to reinforce to DD1 that it is a \"middle-brake\" before her next final destination for this year, SA2!

Will move on to do some notes extraction from assessment books for EL - can't rely on the STELLAR WORKSHEETS! :frustrated: :rant:

Now our main focus is on CL oral - conversation area. DD is using my iphone that has a writing function to draft out the point/view so as she can remember better.

Hi Brenda/Champion,
My daughter in P1 doesn't have CA2 but this thing called 'Summative Assessment' next month...you name it, she has it - from Orals, Listening and Writing section :faint: Parents are requested to revise everything that has been taught and this time, Comprehension OE also included. I will do what I can with her...cannot push too much or I will suffer a meltdown.
