Today’s lesson for the boys are writing and drawing. Writing composition and drawing models. Introduced the w+h questions to the boys. They caught on well after doing a quick explanation for them. As R and A are of different levels, I split the writing portion, going through 2 model compo books concurrently. Using their level… Continue reading Write & Draw

Throwback Lesson
E2 wanted to challenge himself to attempt writing a mind map like his brother. How could I say no? He’s only p2 and I’m happy he’s self motivated. Sometimes, group lessons can be a form of peer motivation instead of peer pressure. E1’s learning style. Boys generally cannot sit still throughout, but that does not… Continue reading Throwback Lesson
Energy Changes Part 3
3rd time in this week to run through this topic. But I enjoyed it, as there is always a different interpretation and reflection angle for each student. Struggling to recall and memorize the energy changes in a moving paper aeroplane. Her video was just hilarious! But she got it and understood the energy conversion in… Continue reading Energy Changes Part 3
Compre OE Skills
Tackling comprehension open ended questions is one can of worms parents dread to open, especially when their children hit p5/6. There are many layers of techniques to learn, before even being able to achieve a decent pass or more in that component. It’s a tough fight, but possible to win the race, with consistent practice… Continue reading Compre OE Skills
P6 Lesson
Another lesson on Energy Changes. Did a recap on the different energy changes and taught her how to apply what she did for hands on, in her work. It’s hard to keep them back to desk work after ‘playing’, as I also have fun going through with my students. Short videos of how energy changes… Continue reading P6 Lesson
Encouragement To Self
We need encouragement all the time. I make it a point to see the positive side of my students, and praise them. It does feel good that someone appreciates and recognises the effort put in. I’m far from perfect, and will strive to make myself a better teacher. Thank you to this mummy who is… Continue reading Encouragement To Self
1st in 2018
Great start! A fellow educator messaged me and it’s encouraging me to stick to my belief, that children can indeed learn through play, just got to structure the lessons accordingly. Yay!
My Adorable Nephews
E1 was excited to see the Science materials and he wanted to try them out immediately. E2 wished he will quickly be in p3 to start Science. Again, differentiated learning. Same book but different tasks to play around with to suit theiir level, and still learn in their own rights. E1’s task was to write… Continue reading My Adorable Nephews
Energy Changes Alive!
I always tell my students Science is everywhere. And paper aeroplane is one of them. Using a simple paper and simple folding, Science, can be indeed alive! So simple! Got my p6 boy to choose 2 different types of aeroplanes to fold, with the same type of paper, and using the same strength to test… Continue reading Energy Changes Alive!
