Hi welcome back after a week's break! I had a busy week myself. Took a short break at Batam from Tuesday to Wednesday. Then I had full day course at Health Promotion Board on Thursday and Friday. Anyway I'm so pleased to see all of you again, especially when I received your projects :) Will put them up in class this week and post pictures of them here.

Here's the powerpoint I used today for the English lesson on Homonyms. Do practise more and enjoy the matching game!

Science : Sources of Light

2009-06-29T15:17:00.006+08:00

Today we learnt about sources of light. A source of light is an object that gives out light. We learnt about natural and artificial sources of light.

Natural Sources of light : sun, stars, lightning, Glow-worms, firefly, luminous jelly-fish, glowing mushrooms and fire.

I hope all of you enjoyed the Energy trail we had around the school looking for sources of light! I will be planning more of these science trails :) Keep posted for a slideshow of pictures of light sources in Aitong soon to be uploaded! How about taking some pictures of the light sources you have at home and making a slideshow of them too so that I can post them here?

Here's a link to a website that allows you to fire your own fireworks :) Have fun!

Reminder on Science Homework

2009-04-11T17:24:00.002+08:00

Dear Class,

Please be reminded that you would need to bring your Science Works! Activity Book on Monday (13th April 2009) for your science lesson.

When you submit your science activity book on Monday, you would have completed Pg 16, 17, 19 and 20 of Chapter 2 under Human Systems. This was the homework given to you on Monday (6th April 2009) after we had discussed about the parts and functions of the digestive system.

I would also be uploading the picture of the model of the digestive system I showed you on Monday on the blog, so stay tune!! =)

Journal on "Systems"

2009-04-04T09:06:00.002+08:00

Dear all,

For the little journal book you made yesterday using the colour paper, you have to include 3 things in your journal of "systems".

- What are the 5 main organ systems,
- What are the main parts of the digestive system, respiratory system and skeletal system.
- What is one question you have and want to ask about digestive system?

Please include the above points in your little journal book and bring them to class on Monday. =)

Have a restful and blessed weekend ahead!

Science Works! Workbook - SYSTEM

2009-04-02T18:18:00.002+08:00

Beloved boys and girls of 4E,

For those who have forgotten to bring your SYSTEM's Science Works! workbook on Monday, you are to bring them to school for our science lesson tomorrow (3rd April 2009).

For those who have not handed up your CYCLE's Science Works! workbook, please bring them to class by tomorrow (3rd April 2009).

See you guys in class tomorrow! =)

Plants Alive!

2009-03-22T16:31:00.011+08:00

Dear all!!! =)

I hope you have had an enjoyable 1 week break!

I trust that the little seeds you brought home with you on 11th March (Wed) have grown into a young plant and you have recorded the height of your little plant as they grow. Ihope that none of you "drown" or "sun-bathed" your seeds/plants. =)

Just a reminder to bring your little plants and your Science Works! Workbook on Cycles to school tomorrow . Pg 5 ,6 ,7, 8 and 9 of your Science Works! Workbook would have been completed during the 1 week break. =)

It is ok if your little plant has not grown into the adult plant with flowers or with fruits yet as it will take some time for them to reach that stage - the process of knowing how to take care of your little plant is important.

Tomorrow you will be comparing the life cycles of the plants you and your team mates/group mates are in charge of, sooo..do remember to BRING your plant. =)

The pictures below shows some of the seeds I grew over this one week =) My tomato plant is growing well and am looking forward to bring it to class to show you guys! =)

Green Bean, Black Bean and Red Bean seeds all growing together!! =)

Close -up picture of the healthy green bean plant.

They have grown taller and you will see them tomorrow!! =)

Have a blessed sunday evening ahead and see all of you in school tomorrow! =)

Reminder: Seed Planting

2009-03-10T19:53:00.002+08:00

Dear 4E,

Please be reminded to bring your container with either cotton wool or soil tomorrow so that you can plant the seeds. There is no need for you to bring along the crushed egg shells for those who are in Team 3 and Team 4.

Just in case if you have lost the piece of paper I gave out on Monday, below is a list of what Team 1, 2 3 and 4 are suppose to do.

Team 1: Grow seeds with cotton wool and normal water
Team 2: Grow seeds with cotton wool and rice water
Team 3: Grow seeds with soil, normal water and crushed egg shells as fertilizers
Team 4: Grow seeds with soil, rice water and crushed egg shells as fertilizers

*Seeds will be provided, so there is no need for you to get them.

Please do bring along your Science Works! Workbook tomorrow as well.

See you in class tomorrow! =)

Weekend Homework 21-22 Feb, Mosses and Ferns

2009-02-22T13:38:00.007+08:00

hi how's your weekend coming along? I'm munching on my lunch now which consists of rice, sweet and sour fish and lots of green veggies. I wanted to do this update yesterday but i was simply too busy to even log in. I hope this won't be too late to serve as a reminder.

1. Complete Science Unit Tests 4

2. Learn your dictation from Pg 8 of Health Education Book, first two paragraphs.

3. Bring your plants and complete Science AB Record sheet 1 and 2

I've just marked your Science Tests 3 and realised that most of you are not very familiar with mosses and ferns. So i'd be revising that tomorrow during the Science lesson. Also, from tomorrow to first week of May, there will be a trainee teacher who will be attached to me and she will take over the Science lessons gradually. I will be introducing her tomorrow to the class and hope you will all give her your fullest support and co-operation! This is her last practicum which means she will soon graduate to be a teacher!

Here's something about teaching that will make you laugh and hopefully understand us teachers better too :) Enjoy!

1. From now to next week, everyone is expected to observe the life cycle of a plant by planting some seeds in a transparent container. You may choose from green bean, red bean or soy bean seeds. I think these will give the best results. Soak the seeds for a certain period of time (record it) and plant them in soil. Bring them either tomorrow or Friday to win points for your group.

If you have an ice cream stick, you can write the date you planted the seeds on it and stick it into the container. Record your observations in your Science activity book. Looking forward to seeing your plants!

2. Please wear your school uniform this Friday 20th February for class photo taking. Very important!! :)

Leg Swollen - Need to Rest!

2009-02-01T23:05:00.002+08:00

Bad news, my dear pupils and parents. My calf muscle is hurting again. It looks and feels swollen. I think I should have heeded the doctor's advice and rested. I thought I'd take it easy and hobble around but it seems that the doctor's prescription of 2 weeks rest cannot go unheeded after all. If i continue to walk around, it will take longer to heal. Anyway the school will appoint a good relief teacher who will keep in touch with me. So I can still monitor the progress of the class through her and also through this blog. I hope you will all understand that this is not what i wish for but nevertheless I have to follow the doctor's advice and rest. You can see below what the doctor has advised..

Back to School!

2009-01-31T07:59:00.002+08:00

Even though it was really tiring yesterday, I'm glad to be back :) Wasn't really my usual cheerful self though, cos the brain was concentrating on trying to get back on track and also in trying to tolerate the pain. I was so tired that after I had lunch, I took an afternoon nap for almost 2 hours. Usually I don't take naps! After my nap I went swimming. Yes, the doctor has approved swimming but I must swim only front crawl. Boy was I glad I went swimming 'cos I felt really refreshed after that! Since it's the only aerobic exercise I can do for six weeks, I plan to go swimming everyday if possible.

HAPPY NIU YEAR!!!

2009-01-28T21:25:00.003+08:00

Gong Xi Fa Cai, everyone!! I'm so sorry this came rather late.. Do you know what happened to me? On Saturday, as you have seen my exercise schedule, I was supposed to go swimming from 5-7 pm while my son has his badminton classes. But that day I had planned to have my reunion dinner at 7 so I thought I'd let him join the 3-5 pm class so that I could go back early to prepare for the reunion dinner. The sun was rather hot at 3 pm so I did not swim but decided to do some cycling at the gym. After 20 minutes of cycling and 10 minutes on the elliptical machine, I went to look for my son at the badminton court. I asked him to join me for a short session of badminton before leaving. Just 5 minutes into the game, as I lunged forward to catch a shot, I felt something hard hit me on my left calf. I winced in pain and turned around to see who the perpetrator was. But there wasn't any object and the next thing I felt was a very bad muscle cramp in my left calf. I collapsed on the ground and groaned in pain as I clutched my leg. I found out that I had sustained a calf sprain! (http://www.physioroom.com/injuries/calf_and_shin/calf_strain_full.php) must have torn a ligament when I lunged forward... I had to hobble back to the car.. I could not walk for the next 4 days. Luckily my sister-in-law who came for the reunion dinner that night knew a chinese physician in Ang Mo Kio Ave 8 (Blk 330) and she brought me there that saturday night. Ever since then, I have been going daily for treatment. For the first time in my life, I experienced what acupuncture is like! It's rather painful actually.

Today I wasn't able to go to school as I still could not walk properly.. But after the treatment, I feel much better and shall be returning to work tomorrow even though the doctor has given me two days of MC. I miss all of you very much, that's why! Hope you all had a great new year and look forward to seeing all of you in class :) I'd be walking rather slowly still so seek your understanding and support :) thank you!

VIDEO on MEASURING VOLUME

2009-01-20T10:40:00.004+08:00

Woooo I'm SOOO excited because I found this video on youtube on measuring volume!! It's so cooool and rather funny too somehow :D

Just Sharing..

2009-01-20T10:16:00.004+08:00

Wow I just realised I sounded sooo serious yesterday, giving the news and announcements! Well it was a busy day. I prefer Tuesdays and Wednesdays as I get more free periods. Friday is my WORST day - no free period till the very last period! But at least I've the weekend to look forward to..

Last year I did not have any form class. I was the Maths teacher of 3B and 3D. Everyday I would have 2 periods with each class -total of 4 maths periods! I would find my head swimming in numbers at the end of the day! But this year, I get my own form class and it is both fun and challenging. I need to remember to give out and collect this and that, on top of all the teaching. I also need to create a conducive learning environment by putting up suitable displays and so on.. any ideas and contributions, anyone? I remember when I was in primary school myself, I was always the class monitor every year and the teacher would put me in charge of the class display board. Even though it was such a LONG LONG time ago, I can still remember that I put up riddles, stories, newspaper articles and stories... This week I must go shopping for notice board trim and posters to put in class...

Now for the fun part - when I was told I was given the former 3E to teach, I was very happy as I recalled playing games with them last year after their exams... Well I must say that they were very cooperative and sporty :) I'm one teacher who LOVES to play games with my class but of course, not too much as there's a lot of work to cover. So I like to use games as a reward or incentive. And let me tell you, I have LOTS of games up my sleeve! *wink* Looking forward to playing "Broken Telephone" later...

*BURP* Oops, excuse me, I just wolfed down four slices of bread with salmon wasabi mayonnaise filling for my break! Yummy yum yum! I just discovered this new sandwich spread last weekend as I was shopping at NTUC at J8. Alright, I admit - it was the price that attracted me first - on offer at $1.95! You know what's even more amazing? I managed to make THREE thickly spread sandwiches (each with 2 slices of bread) with one tin. It's really VALUE for money and much much more tasty than any of the tuna spreads. You should try it - the wasabi really gives me a KICK! Ow! But that was one kick I really don't mind, hehehe...

OK gotta go do some work now..catch all of you later...tata...

Amazing woman without arms!

2009-01-15T22:28:00.002+08:00

Remember I shared with all of you that I think we should write neatly because we have hands that enable us to do so, unlike people without arms? Well here's a video of a woman without arms who was determined to make the most of her legs and feet! She is really an inspiration to me. I must be grateful for my hands and make the most of them :)

Quantity Determiners

2009-01-15T22:02:00.002+08:00

Yawn..what on earth is that? haha, it sounds so deeeep right? Well its just a fancy term for words like "many", "much", "how", "some", "any", "all", "few" and ...er...is there any more? Oh well, here are the exercises that you can practise on. Definitely not so much of a yawn because you can check on the answers rightaway!!

Spelling - Friday 17 Jan

2009-01-14T11:34:00.003+08:00

I have decided to help you with some of the words by making sentences with them so you can also understand the meaning (meaning is in brackets)

1. These are all my own original ideas. (own ideas)
2. Use your imagination to create a story. (ability to form mental pictures)
3. This is a funnier version of the traditional fairy tale, Cinderella. (a different form)
4. The princess was horrified when the frog jumped into her bed. (shocked)
5. This story has a surprise ending, so watch out for it. (unexpected ending)
6. The stewardesses were serving tea on the plane when the lights suddenly went off. (women who take care of the passengers on the plane)
7. Examples of quantity determiners are 'both', 'many', 'all', 'some' and 'any'. (words that telle us how much or how many)
8. In Singapore, we seldom have to worry about a catastrophe such as an earthquake or typhoon. (a catastrophe is an event that causes great loss and misfortune)
9. She was obliged to let the frog in for dinner because she gave him her word. (feel that you have to do it)

In the recent activity where the class had to pretend to be the princess and write a letter to her cousin describing what happened at the pond (she was tricked by a frog into kissing it), I came across some really great endings! Here are some of them :

By Winne Tan : "I will cook it for my dinner".

By Zen Sim : "I want you to catch him and put him inside a cage."

By Jen Hui, Brayden Ng : "I will never ever trust a frog again."

By Wei Zhe : :If you can find him, please catch him and throw him to the storks."

By Belynn Sim :"Can you come to my castle to catch that frog and cook it for me?"

By Lynn Wee, Reagan, Nurul Amelicia : "I wiped the frog slime off my lips.."

By Shu Hao : "I shall make him into a yummy bowl of frog soup for your birthday tonight"
