We are not going to paint a rosy picture of our students enjoying our lessons all the time. For the experiment on upcycling crayons, which the students were supposed to observe the melting of used crayons to be transformed into new ones. The process – melting of the crayons got them to pinch their noses.… Continue reading P3,4,5 Science / 10 June 2019 Monday / Crayons, Electricity

P6 Science / 7 June 2019 Friday / Experiments b2b
Yeap, we allowed our P6 to have their medley of experiments when they requested, but we covered the important and necessary topics before the fun. It was also a full house for our P6 boys and girls. Each time there is a holiday, we merge the genders together for some interaction. There were a total… Continue reading P6 Science / 7 June 2019 Friday / Experiments b2b
XYZ Learning Journey
This project was done last year. I love that my boys’ kindy incorporate simple Science experiments for the students to do at home over the holidays. As this is close to my heart and I have a weakness for Science experiments, I dug out the materials needed for the experiment. I read through the instructions… Continue reading XYZ Learning Journey
P3,4,5,6 Science / 6 June 2019 Thursday / Celery Stalks & Magnets
We planned another round of experiments for our combined Science classes to observe the plant transport system and how magnets attract magnetic materials. Using the stalks of the humble and healthy vegetables, we explained how plants are able to transport water from the stems to the other plant parts. Check out the coloured parts on… Continue reading P3,4,5,6 Science / 6 June 2019 Thursday / Celery Stalks & Magnets
P3,4,5 Science / 3 June 2019 / Jumping Dolls & Ooobleck
Full house. This was the maximum capacity that we can have. Again, we have a mixture of our P3,4 and 5 students all coming together to learn and grow. Through a simple game like challenging them to shoot their bouncing dolls into a container, we teach them Energy Changes. We do acknowledge that they will… Continue reading P3,4,5 Science / 3 June 2019 / Jumping Dolls & Ooobleck
P1-2 English / 6 June 2019 Thursday / Craft Writing
Not to be left out, our P1-2 English classes have their own fun craft-tivity too. Something similar to what we have been doing. However, we tweaked the lesson to be slightly different. We do not like to repeat the same delivery of lessons, as we like to not only prick our brain cells, we also… Continue reading P1-2 English / 6 June 2019 Thursday / Craft Writing
P3,4,5 English / 3 June 2019 Monday /Stretch A Sentence
It is a pity that our classroom is limited at some point of time. We will love to open as many students as we can (as we turned down quite a few due to space constraints), so we make do with what we have. Getting our students across all levels is a twice in a… Continue reading P3,4,5 English / 3 June 2019 Monday /Stretch A Sentence
P6 Science / 31 May 2019 Friday /Starch & Iodine
A suitable experiment to show how certain foods contain starch is via the iodine solution test. We grabbed what we had, added in the different food groups and went ahead to show our boys. However, we questioned the class that the experiment was not a fair test, and asked them how to make changes to… Continue reading P6 Science / 31 May 2019 Friday /Starch & Iodine
P3-4 Science / 30 May 2019 Thursday / Heat & Temp
Same same but different. We have been teaching Heat & Temperature for the whole week and one may ask if we are tired of doing that. It is a resounding NO. How can it be when although the same topics/key words/lesson concepts and so on are taught, the reactions and responses from our students from… Continue reading P3-4 Science / 30 May 2019 Thursday / Heat & Temp
