We covered cell division over the lesson. As easy as it seems, our students thought the hands on was easy by just drawing lines and circles. But as they filled the spaces, they giggled and realized cell division was not as easy as it seemed! As they were busy splitting the cells, we orally recapped… Continue reading P5 Science / 29 Jan 2019 Tuesday / Cell Division

P3-4 Science / 24 Jan 2019 Thursday / Materials
Materials, a p3 topic and it is a good refresher for the p4s and new learning for the p3. So it is a win-win situation.

P5 English / 14 Jan 2019 Monday / News Article
We love to use newspaper cuttings as part of our lesson delivery. Our P5 class was taught how to search for relevant news, cut out their chosen articles, read and complete their tasks. Besides mapping out the W+H questions, they were also to find vocabulary words and the meaning behind the words. English may not… Continue reading P5 English / 14 Jan 2019 Monday / News Article

P5 Science / 23 Jan 2019 Wed / Acid Rain, Classification
What is acid rain and how does it affect our daily lives? This was something we discussed over lesson. How does acid get into the water cycle? We showed them how as well.

P5 Science / 22 Jan 2019 Tuesday / Cells
Cells. A tough topic with needing lots of visuals to teach the message across. For this topic, we like to use our trusty microscope to do the “talking”. As the saying goes, “A picture paints a thousand words”. With this, we let the specimen slides do the “teaching”. Touching on important notes on the topic… Continue reading P5 Science / 22 Jan 2019 Tuesday / Cells
P1-2 English / 22 Jan 2019 Tuesday / Compo Craft Writing
Today’s lesson was a bat-ty craft again. As the boys do not really like musical instruments, we have to crack our heads to source for alternatives. Digging into our stocks, we managed to pull out non musical crafts for them to do. Lesson is the same. The materials and procedures are made known to them,… Continue reading P1-2 English / 22 Jan 2019 Tuesday / Compo Craft Writing

With this in mind, we got… Continue reading P3-4 Science / 17 Jan 2019 Thursday / Seeds & Light
