2012 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

I m in cold sweat reading some parents have started the p6 revision with their kids already… I can’t touch my DS until 2 weeks b4 school opens. He told me he needs a well deserved rest before "cheonging" for next year ! Sigh…

Wow, done already ? We are in the midst of both...alternating between lower and upper block.

Ladies,
Just my humble suggestion
Interaction is a vast topic. It links up with all the p3 and p4 stuff in diversity. Lot of facts and interlinking them.
My 2 cents would be take some time to read thru (atleast like a pre reading) during the hols - so that when the lessons start it is easier to connect.

I had totally underestimated this topic and my this is lesson learnt.[/quote]Thanks Sun_2010,
Really appreciate your advice. DS is good at P3&P4 but weak in P5 so going to revise deeply for P5 topics now.

Hi, may I ask how do you touch on p3 and p4 science? Which guide book or assessment did you use? Still not sure how to start and revise.

Hi SoWoW,
DS has quite a number of guide books, Marshall Cavendish is good. And got for him Ultimate PSLE guide book by EPH. He normally reads through each topic and write notes/mind map. Then try out the topic assessment. Hopefully we are doing the right way.

Anyone, care to share your way of revising. Thanks.

Hi all,


Just want to find out how do your children revise science? Do you just go through the school notes and science textbooks or do you get your children to read the many-pages-per-topic science guide as well? I used to get my dd to read the science guides but have stopped doing that in P5. I stopped doing it becos I realise that the testing of knowledge forms a very small percentage of the science exam and the main objectives to test on other skills such as classifying, comparing, inferring, etc. So I get her to do more worksheets and we focus on her answering techniques instead. Just wondering is this the right method. Dd is happier cos she is not motivated to read the science guide. Thanks very much!

I think the answers are provided for the teachers only if the school decides to adopt the Vitaminz worksheets.
