Hi Champion, im referring to p4 & p6. Have used EPH, SAP & EPB before... btw think now EPB is under Marshall Cavendish.

Thanks Michelle


I was almost down with depression with works and kids, it is not possible for hubby to help me as i have mentioned to him many times before. The only way is like you are doing, ensure they complete all the school homework on weekdays and coach them on weekend. I only have Sunday available as Saturday i need to ferry my DD for 2 dancing class and marketing. Mostly end up reaching home late afternoon and too tired to do anything.

Np, concern_mum!

Dont b depressed k? vent your anger/sadness here ya?! hehe..
sunday is sufficient enuff to coach them since ur DD has classes on sat. Dont over-stress them too.. let them hv more fun & most importantly you can have some rest too before a brand new working wk starts again :boogie:

Popular fair is coming soon. Can anyone share which publisher and author's assessment books are worth buying for K2 and P1, for chinese, english and maths?

Oh.. when is popular fair? only saw this from Popular website (free $5 voucher for $80 spent) 2-18 Mar 2012 https://www.popular.com.sg/jsp/index.jsp

hmm actually when buying assessment books, im no fan of any particular publisher and will get from various publishers like marshall cavendish, longman and eph. Prefer marshall cavendish more though since they publish most textbooks in schools, so should be more aligned to MOE curriculum & eph is my next preferred.

btw something to share:

oh yeah! must 'distribute workload' with your hubby.. hehe


indeed as working parents, hard to coach the kids with their work.. wat i will do is is quite similiar to Funz - coach them in completing their studies and if they have difficulty in understanding certain concepts, will try to explain to them on Fris & wkends...

perhaps another advise would be to attend workshops lor, those workshops for parents specializing in helping us parents to help our kids with their work and how to help them excel in school. life as a working parent (think non-working also), is really not easy anymore : (

anyway, just heard from my frien that there's this upcoming workshop by Marshall Cavendish in March, To learn about the strategy in helping your child to prepare for Exams -> suitable for parents of kids pri1-6. can check out their website http://edu.marshallcavendish.com/events-singapore.html

hi 1 amber, pardon my ignorance : p UV or venetian are…

Btw, came across these 2 events while browsing for activities during Mar sch holidays:


Mindchamps - fun activities @ Vivo City from 9-13 March, 11am-9pm
http://www.mindchamps.org/upcoming_events.html
-> sounds fun

Marshall Cavendish - Series of workshops on how to go abt coaching your children in their studies/exams
http://edu.marshallcavendish.com/events-singapore.html
-> sounds gd & useful for parents

oh yeah! definitely ocean park is more fun than disneyland unless your kids are really into disney… think most adults wld also prefer ocean park to the latter!
