P5 Science / 13 March 2019 Wed / Circulatory System
Not for the faint hearted. We introduced the Circulatory System lesson with a “heart” model. We were expecting to hear “ewss” but we heard “wow”. This shows they are keen to know more! This topic is one of the hardest and we cannot definitely be covering all within a day. We highlighted the important concepts… Continue reading P5 Science / 13 March 2019 Wed / Circulatory System

18 March 2019 / P5-P6 Biography Activity
Simple English activity that I had done with our p5s and p6s. We usually aim to do something different over the holidays as a break from the usual classes. We were glad to touch on biographies of historical people, which only 2/10 know who the said figure was. It was a lesson worth spending to… Continue reading 18 March 2019 / P5-P6 Biography Activity
P6 English/4 March 2019 Monday/Vocab
What to do when exams are over? More work of course! Learning does not stop once a test is meted out. There are many ways to learn, not only through paper drills. For us at Sowing Seedz, we like to use newspapers to help students engage in their learning. Vocabulary skill building is another weakness… Continue reading P6 English/4 March 2019 Monday/Vocab
