All set, all ready! Teaching how to read the thermometer is the stepping stone for any temperate readings in experiments. Taught E how to read in 2 different temperature settings, hot and cold. Safety precautions needed to be in place when dealing with hot water. Adult supervision is needed. E had to shade the temperature… Continue reading 2018 – Heat & Temperature (p4 science)

2018 – Ramps & Forces (p6 science)
X was the Lone Ranger in completing his experiment alone (for now), but he is really responsible and has a very good attitude to complete the activity from start to end. From setting up to measuring to recording, he has displayed a very serious yet sporting attitude. Great job!
2018 – Magnet Fun! (p4 science)
My p4s did a magnet fun activity today. Went through the basic lesson contents and off they were to their activity! They were to find 10 objects in the room, and predict which items were magnetic/non-magnetic. After which, they were to use a magnet to test, as shown below. After recording their observations, they wrote… Continue reading 2018 – Magnet Fun! (p4 science)

Did this activity again, this time with my p6 girls. Another good work produced!
2018 – Seed Dispersal (p5 science)
Did a quick experiment on seed dispersal before lesson ended and time is always not enough, they whined. Haha… Testing out their seeds and they enjoyed the process of watching their seeds touch the ground. Beautiful swirl of seed dispersal here. Took the opportunity to build in key concepts in them too. Learning is every… Continue reading 2018 – Seed Dispersal (p5 science)
2018 – Mouldy Bread, Stacking Cups (p6 science)
Results from last week’s experiment was interesting. The boys had never seen orange mound and they were curious. It’s good exposure that their vocab extends beyond ‘black, grey, green’ in describing fungi. Went through recap and building in of key words via the experiment. Next on, stacking cups with food chain templates. Gave my instructions… Continue reading 2018 – Mouldy Bread, Stacking Cups (p6 science)
2018 – Cells (p5 science)
Took me a few tries to get this beauty captured in its glory. We did cells for today’s lesson and after going through some main points, off they go for some experiment time! My instructions for them were to observe what they see and to draw accordingly. The students took turns to observe the specimens… Continue reading 2018 – Cells (p5 science)
2018 – Model Parent
I love how this parent react to her girl’s not so good results. Indeed, whether a child does well or not in exams, it is like a side dish. The main dish is more of how well a child is able to grasp the topics and understanding. A child may have a good understanding on… Continue reading 2018 – Model Parent
2018 – K2/P4 English
First lesson for F but it seems she’s really comfortable doing her tasks. She looks really at home. Which I’m happy to let her be, as my other students do the same too. I’ve decided to ditch the usual assessment books and challenge her to think out of the box. Passed her a stack of… Continue reading 2018 – K2/P4 English
