Boys were curious why the crayons were in the heating pan. Today’s lesson was on upcyling crayons. Again, they were real excited to get the lesson started. Instructed the boys to pick 5 used crayons each to mix into a new colour. Beautiful mix of colours bubbling happily together, waiting for a new lease of… Continue reading Lower Primary Writing Enrichment – Crayons Upcycled

Another Fun Lesson!
This little lady is just so fun to teach! Usually most children are reserved when it’s the first encounter with strangers, including teachers. She’s one of them, but once she opens up, the lesson becomes so alive! Shouldn’t I be the one doing that? Haha. Well, we ran through my standard hands on experiments and… Continue reading Another Fun Lesson!
Critical Creativity
Love how my sweet student interprets her work and presents it to me at the end of each experiment. I like to give my students open ended work with minimal instructions. It’s up to them to think how they should design their work and present to me. It triggers their brain cells and motivate them… Continue reading Critical Creativity

There must be connection when learning and the best way to bring the lessons across is by sharpening their 5 senses. A simple… Continue reading Let There Be Light!

5 Loaves, 2 Fishes
Today is a special day as this marks the official day I am not opening my Saturdays for lessons. Feeling bittersweet.

Start of P6 Work
Energy Changes Using real life experience to bring across the lesson of how one energy form is changed to another. My p6 boy had much fun playing with the darts. With hands on, children are able to make better connections with what they are learning. Bull’s eye!
