After a short break, we moved on to the next activity, Shadow Puppets! We got them to watch how shadows were formed and how they could be pulled into a fine performance. They were inspired, and they could not wait to create their own stories to perform. With these animal sticks, we gave them a… Continue reading P3/P4 Science June Prog 2018 Day 2 Part 2 – puppet play

Did a recap of Light and we played with kaleidoscopes and observed many patterns using mirrors, beads and more. Lovely patterns of work, aren’t they? Boys can produce great work as well. Check out their kaleidoscopes and notes taking too!

Managed to squeeze 2 experiments for my p4s. After explaining what I wanted to see in their work, we moved on quickly. First experiment was on investigating how heat travelled through different temperatures and the best way is to ‘Show & Tell’. Lovely swirls by observing how the green colouring moves in the different water… Continue reading 2018 – Heat & Temperature (p4 Science)

The boys pumped their fists in the air when they heard there was no need to do any practice papers. Boys will be boys, but I love the energy in them. They cheered further on when they saw what they were going to do. I do miss the times when I was teaching in a… Continue reading 2018 – Kaleidoscope (p6 Science)

Lesson got a little mundane and I broke the boring routine of doing seat work with an interesting object – the kaleidoscope. It’s related to Science and makes use of light to observe shapes and patterns. C had awesome fun viewing through the lens and turning the tube to create many patterns. Below is one… Continue reading 2018 – Kaleidoscope Patterns (p4 science)

Did an impromptu hands on with my p4 kids. I did the crayons with my p6 and decided to use the pan for my p4 science. Taught them on reading thermometer and parallax error. They were amused how the pan was so small. This was not in the Investigative Tasks book so I improvised and… Continue reading 2018 – Heat & Temperature (p4 science)

Today was the first lesson with C. For science, we did some lesson about light and got him to do a periscope activity. His mind mapping skills were amazing, for a first timer with me, he nailed what I wanted him to do. Again, I always say I’m a believer of students capable of mind… Continue reading 2018 – Periscope (p4 science)

All set, all ready! Teaching how to read the thermometer is the stepping stone for any temperate readings in experiments. Taught E how to read in 2 different temperature settings, hot and cold. Safety precautions needed to be in place when dealing with hot water. Adult supervision is needed. E had to shade the temperature… Continue reading 2018 – Heat & Temperature (p4 science)
