P4 English / 24 Sept 2018 Monday / SA2 Exam Skills & Drills
We managed to capture some shots of our SA2 Exam skills and drills preparation. This is different from our regular classes. We run an intensive session of exam techniques one month before the exam, to prepare our students adequately. We find this more effective than dispensing practice after practice over the months, as our students… Continue reading P4 English / 24 Sept 2018 Monday / SA2 Exam Skills & Drills
P6 English / 21 Sept 2018 Friday / PSLE Prep
With the PSLE English starting first, we can feel our students’ anxiety. “We are very stressed!” our students confided. Stressed from self performance, parents’ expectations and peer pressure. It is indeed not easy for a 12 year old to undergo such an amount of stress and pressure. We try our best to help them manage… Continue reading P6 English / 21 Sept 2018 Friday / PSLE Prep

P3-P4 Science / 13 Sept 2018 Thursday / Magnets
We recapped our last topic on Magnets, before we headed for our SA2 Exam skills and drills revision. We did recapping and adding more notes to their Scrapbook. We believe their own note taking will help them further in their revision. The highlight will of course be the hands on activities. They were excited to… Continue reading P3-P4 Science / 13 Sept 2018 Thursday / Magnets

K2 English / 12 September 2018 Wednesday / Fan Craft Writing
We did the same craft for our K2s, but different approach. We still touch on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but we deviate to another level of lesson delivery. We did not touch on the history as yet, as that may be a little abstract for them to understand. Instead, we showed sights and sounds of how… Continue reading K2 English / 12 September 2018 Wednesday / Fan Craft Writing
P1-P2 English / 11 September 2018 Tuesday / Fan Craft Writing
It is all about eating mooncakes in the month of September! We love festivals, don’t we? Excuses to eat, bond with families and have fun! For this special activity, we did a fan craft around the Mid-Autumn Festival theme, instead of the over use of DIY lanterns. It is flat and does not take up… Continue reading P1-P2 English / 11 September 2018 Tuesday / Fan Craft Writing
