Sorry for whistling in class............

Dear Mr.Wan,
I am sorry for whistling in class. I really did'nt mean to whistle and I fully understand that it is a bad habit to whistle in class.

I know that if I whistle in the class I will disturb the class if I whistle in the class. I did it unintentionally as I was giving out the papers and I have just learnt how to whistle and it has became a habit. I know that whistling is a very very very bad habit and I will do my very best to kick the habit for good. I assure you that this will never ever happen again. I apologizes for wasting 30 minutes of your lesson time.

I sincerely hope that you will forgive me.

Assessment Books

Dear class,

I've been looking through Popular Bookstore and these are the books I'd recommend since some of your parents asked about assessment books.

First of all, for those who do not like reading My Pals are Here Science textbooks, here are some good textbooks I recommend. Try browsing before buying. Personally, I think it's better than both i-Science and My Pals are Here.

Perfect Match Science P5/6 System by Mathew
Perfect Match Science P5/6 Cycle by Mathew
Get the textbooks, not the activity books.

Science assessment books

Learning Science System and Cycles SAP around $9

A* Science Challenge, ACE publication, Tan Li Ling. I've been using this book for years as it's the best in process skills. But it is not by topics. It is by process skills. Browse before making the decision to buy. Around $8.05

Science Companion by Educational Publishing House Pte Ltd. This is made up of a set of 4 books. Around $16.90. You can use this till P6.

Mathematics assessment books

Challenging 4 in 1 Maths by Dawn Tai. This is a good practice book. Around $6.95

Problem Solving Made Easy by Tan Li Ling and Teo Chee Kian, ACE Publishing. Around $15.85. Good for those who want to score above 90

Casco Step by Step Mathematics 5. Around $7.70.

i-Excel Heuristics and Model Application Level 5 by Fan Learning. Around $8.80.

The rest are not so bad but these are the few I think will help you guys.

Let me know if you need more practices.
