shen-li lee mam could u please add brain anatomy as a bits , working of a car engine,
Thank you for the suggestion! Those are great topics.
Shen li lee mam could u please consider. In order to print 2 sheets in one a4 sheet the test in one page need to be rotated and aligned so that we can fold it in the middle and the size becomes a5. in that way we can print on copy paper and laminate which is affortable. For eg in the bits page say holidays the text part need to be rotated it will be easy to read the facts so that we can print 2 sheets in one a4page and just fold it in the middle becomes as a a5 size. with the current orientation of the text if we take 2 sheets in one a4 page and fold in the middle. The test will be in reverse it will be bit difficult to read and a5 size is easy to flash compared to a4.
Please do consider it
Hi Subhash – I think the best way forward would be to cut the paper in half and flip it around rather than folding it into two. Since you will be laminating them, the two pieces of paper will still be held together. What do you think?
