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
P6 Science / 29 May 2019 Wednesday / Heat & Temp, Paper Lungs
It was our P6s turn to recap all the previous topics, which we were glad to, as they had somewhat forgotten the liquid in the thermometer, how an impurity is able to affect the melting point and the boiling point of water. We added on a part where we showed the evaporation of “salt” water,… Continue reading P6 Science / 29 May 2019 Wednesday / Heat & Temp, Paper Lungs
P5 Science / 29 May 2019 / Heat & Temperature
The whole week was getting our students to observe how ice gained and lost heat, the changes to the melting point/boiling point when salt was added, and how the boiling point was changed when an impurity was added. Not forgetting how to read the thermometer without parallax error. LIKE: https://www.facebook.com/sowingseedz/
