Prepared the lesson hands on for the girls. I added another variable, which was not in my original book. One of the original materials called for 1 glass of water, but I decided to try 1 glass of hot water, 1 glass of cold water. The one of the left is cold. The one one… Continue reading 2018 – Clouds (p5 sci)

2018 – Rice & Food! (P6 science)
Today’s lesson. Rice and food. Pun intended. Not cooking rice to eat, of course. It’s for experiment! The first hands on was on frictional forces. The trick to lifting the bottle with the stuck chopstick is that the rice grains need to be compact enough to be able to ‘grip’ the chopstick. That’s frictional force.… Continue reading 2018 – Rice & Food! (P6 science)
2018 – Taking Up Space?
Today’s lesson was on investigating if solids take up the shape of a given container. 1st variable. Record. Observe. 2nd variable. Observe. Record. 3rd variable. Observe. Record.
2018 – Paper Lungs & Writing (p5)
Festive season? Timely for a splash of red for today’s lesson. My intention wasn’t along that line till I looked back at the pictures. They looked like 2 big red ang baos. I asked A & R why their ‘Lungs’ were red paper. Their answer made sense. ‘Coz our blood is red!’ And their further… Continue reading 2018 – Paper Lungs & Writing (p5)
2018 – Writing & Model Drawings (Lower Pri)
Nothing fanciful for today. Going through the usual routine of scaffolding sentences using thematic words. Today’s theme is on Forest, thus the words are related to forests. Their penmanship is getting better, I would say. Getting neater! They were happy not because they were commended on their neat handwriting though. It was because there were… Continue reading 2018 – Writing & Model Drawings (Lower Pri)
2018 – DART – Twist (plot) p6 writing
Exactly the news article I needed! Coincided with one of my teaching materials in my guide book. A crashed car. A cockroach. What a story! I like using news articles to teach students how to write creatively, yet realistically. Challenging J to brainstorm a story plot twist and she really cracked her head. I rejected… Continue reading 2018 – DART – Twist (plot) p6 writing
2018 – TASER For Compre Open Ended
X underwent a weaponised lesson today – TASER for better marks in Compre OE. Taught X skills needed to take note of when tackling the final yet challenging section in PSLE English. We zoomed in immediately. Round 1. I set time for X to complete within a certain time frame with certain skill sets. Not… Continue reading 2018 – TASER For Compre Open Ended
2018 – Blue Black! (P6 Science) – starch, iodine
Went through photosynthesis today and it was productive. J was fast in memorizing the steps of testing a leaf for starch and could produce quite an accurate explanation. Her ‘show & tell’, step by step explanation, as she called it. Hehe. Impressive, I would say. When J is focused in her work, she can really… Continue reading 2018 – Blue Black! (P6 Science) – starch, iodine
2018 – Craft & Writing (p2)
J chose red as he said he is in the red team in His school. That was the only piece left too! J started drawing, pasting and decorating to fill up as much space as possible. Final product! J also spins a story about his craft and his ideas are fantastic! He really does have… Continue reading 2018 – Craft & Writing (p2)
