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

P5 Science / 12 Feb 2019 Tuesday /Plant Reproduction
New topic after the Chinese New Year break. We moved on to Plant Reproduction, a topic that is relatively easy to understand, but need proper lesson notes to allow our students to understand the concepts. We went slow and gave alot of notes for them to jot down, followed by a simple investigative task work.… Continue reading P5 Science / 12 Feb 2019 Tuesday /Plant Reproduction
P3-P4 Science / 31 Jan 2019 Thursday / Energy – Light
Another new topic for our P3-P4 Science class – Light. After the usual lesson notes, they got right down to apply what they had learnt. They had to form a short story with the puppet characters chosen, and they were able to come up with a simple yet interesting story! Never under estimate any child’s… Continue reading P3-P4 Science / 31 Jan 2019 Thursday / Energy – Light
P6 Science / 1 Feb 2019 Friday / Forces
Forces, a new topic introduced to our students. Hands on are the best way to learn and engage their memory work. After going through some notes on Forces, they were eager to start on their hands on. Snip, fold, paste and write! By engaging in hands on, the boys were able to think and link… Continue reading P6 Science / 1 Feb 2019 Friday / Forces
P3-P4 Science / 7 Feb 2019 Thursday / Heat & Temperature
The lesson saw our students exploring heat gain and heat loss via a mercury thermometer. We taught them what parallax error is and how to read the readings off a thermometer accurately. They got to see for themselves what happened to the readings when the thermometer is dipped into hot water and iced water. They… Continue reading P3-P4 Science / 7 Feb 2019 Thursday / Heat & Temperature
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. For our Science classes, our lesson deliveries are always peppered with current and previous topics, to jolt our students’ memories and test for understanding each time. Hence, for the lesson,… Continue reading P3-4 Science / 24 Jan 2019 Thursday / Materials
P6 Science / 23 Jan 2019 Wed / Recap
What to do with a class full of students? We hit the max over the lesson as some had to do make up. We took this opportunity to do a back to back recap of topics with our students. Armed with their Lower Block Investigative Task book, we got them ready to snip, cut, paste… Continue reading P6 Science / 23 Jan 2019 Wed / Recap
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. It was always a pretty sight to catch their note jotting in action. We moved on to P3 work on Classification as… Continue reading P5 Science / 23 Jan 2019 Wed / Acid Rain, Classification
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
