Hi plum-cake,

I have no idea if the Conquer Science will be avail at Expo but if you have the time this year to introduce Science to your P2-going on-P3 child, get it instead of waiting till BookFest in Dec.

Thanks Janet,
My girl came with all the books n workbooks to prepare for the ca1. I am having a panic attack.. got to do all the papers this weekend

Your gal has CA1 for P2 ?
Her teacher gave them the past year CA1 papers to attempt as homework ? My boy was given last year's CA1 Math for homework today.

Hi plum-cake,

Daughter will have formative assessment every term in P1-2...but at P2, there will be a SA2.

As for P1 this year, there will be a CL oral in hanyu pinyin.
Models will be taught at P1...advisable to get the girls to start using it when solving questions so that the teaching marking can allocate marks along the way.

I find that P1 syllabus has been brought forward from P3. Son only learnt models in P3 (that is rather late). In short.... :nailbite:

Hello All,
LIke to log onto this forum although is for P1/P2 English but love to read what you all have to say & contribute :celebrate:

My gal is in P3 this year and I also have problems for Science...So, being abit paranoid and Kiasu - I bought her the Lower Science Booster Note in June last year for her to have a feel what \"Science\" is all about.

I also agree that English is very difficult to teach! I only get her the following 3 assessment books so far:-
1) Adventures in English Primary 3 (a rabbit on the front cover)
2) Challenging English 4-in-1 by EPH
3) Boost your creative writing skills lower primary by EPH

Hi Thank you for sharing. I could not find this book at popular

Hi plum-cake,
I saw \"Adventures in English\" for P2 at Popular Bishan. The assessment book covers all components of a typical exam. Bonus is, it includes 20 examples of picture compo and 5 oral pictures and what to say for each pic. If you have time, can check it out. :lol:

If you have time, it's not a bad idea to get the Conquer Science P1-2 to introduce Science, esp if going to P3 next year.

Con.science got p1 as well..mmmm how did I missed it... thanks guys...

The Conques science P1/P2 comes as one book for use for lower primary levels. It exposes the child to basic concepts covered in P3. DD enjoys doing it. I learnt my lesson with DD1....I didn't expose her to sci in P2 and in P3, she struggled for her science CA1. Luckily, she picked up subsequently. So this time round, thought I'll expose DD2 a bit earlier...

Hi Janet,
I agree with you...the Primary sch syllabus seems to have been brought forward. I also notice DD2 learning more than what DD1 did when she was in P2 a few years back. :lol:
