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

P5 Science / 29 Jan 2019 Tuesday / Cell Division
We covered cell division over the lesson. As easy as it seems, our students thought the hands on was easy by just drawing lines and circles. But as they filled the spaces, they giggled and realized cell division was not as easy as it seemed! As they were busy splitting the cells, we orally recapped… Continue reading P5 Science / 29 Jan 2019 Tuesday / Cell Division
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
P5 English / 14 Jan 2019 Monday / News Article
We love to use newspaper cuttings as part of our lesson delivery. Our P5 class was taught how to search for relevant news, cut out their chosen articles, read and complete their tasks. Besides mapping out the W+H questions, they were also to find vocabulary words and the meaning behind the words. English may not… Continue reading P5 English / 14 Jan 2019 Monday / News Article
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
P5 Science / 9 Jan 2019 Wed / Water Cycles
Another round of water cycles, another round of observing how the Water Cycles work. We got our materials ready and it was always lovely to watch our students’ faces lit up when they hear “experiment”. From the simple hands on, our students are able to observe in details how the water cycle works, from evaporation… Continue reading P5 Science / 9 Jan 2019 Wed / Water Cycles

When one of our P6 girls entered the class, we went “whoa!!!!” when we saw her seed bean. It was beautifully grown! Hers was the most successful among the rest, including ours. We had to throw our rotten seed bean away. Who says Science teachers have green fingers? Heh… The shoot that sprouted and the… Continue reading P6 Science / 16 Jan 2019 Wed / Respiration & Photosynthesis
