Singapore Science Center!

Of Coz that is not me in the picture!!

Heh as part of the teaser, I have put a picture of the Singapore Science Center. Being the P4 science level driver, it is official that we are going to have some funds made available to us to bring pupils for science related field trips. Mdm Serene Leong will also join us for this trip. W-A-I-T !! Don't be so happy yet hor!! There is a catch to it. As your know that rewards in Singapore is always tied to performance of some sorts, this trip will be no exceptional!! ( Mr Low gives off an evil smile.) We will all go to the science center if everyone does well for SA1, else stay in school and do all the boring work....So better study hard!! = )

Appointed Prefects and New Discipline Monitor

Lee Yi, Benn Tan, Han Wei and Eadric

Greetings to our 3 newly appointed prefects-to-be, Lee Yi, Benn and Han Wei. They have successfully cleared their interviews and waiting for their official appointment. Not forgetting Eadric the new discipline monitor. Well for a start, Congratulations to all 4 of them. However Mr Low would expect higher discipline standards from them as they are all role models for the Class. Well for a start, What makes a leader? and What actually makes a good leader in the Primary School context? Let's have a discussion on this during Monday's FTI period!

Our Done up Classroom.

Finally after 3 weeks our classroom are more or less done up. Here is a few photos to show everyone. Thanks to Mdm Serene Leong effort for the hard work as well as the generous contributions of eliza. Speaking of contributions, Grace has generously donate some decorative items for the Chinese new year. Stay tune to find out what is it. Also we have 2 guest from China. All thanks to Han Wei and Megan that they are so well taken care of.

It sure is tiring for Han Wei. See how tired she is!

Guess the number of almond cookies in the jar!!

I find that pupils are pretty good when it comes to rounding off for figures but sorta weak when it comes to estimate. Having worked with P4 kids before, I find that it is because they are not able to relate the size of the object to the size of the container that contains the objects. As such they tend to over or under estimate.

So I brought a jar of cookies today to the class and asked the class to estimate the number cookies. The rules were pretty simple
1) No shaking of my cookie jar
2) No stealing of cookies from my jar.

The number of cookies will be revealed real soon!

Remember the 3 rules!!

Aiyo!!! I really had a hard time marking your class activity books. I find that quite a few of your have made careless mistakes. Okie We shall have a revision lesson on Monday!! Remember the 3 rules in doing rounding up of numbers?? Okie let's do a recap once again.

Step 1 : Check what the question is asking for. (e.g. are they asking for rounding up to the nearest tens/hundreds/thousands?)

Step 2 : Look at the DIGIT next to the place value of the question. ( if question ask for hundreds you look at the tens, if they ask for tens you look at the ones). Next if its 5 or more , we round up, if not we round down.

Step 3 : If the question wants us to round off to the nearest hundred, the tens and ones become 0, if they want us to round off to the nearest tens then the ones become 0.

Okie? Cool everyone? = )

Hi Dear Parents, as the trend drives towards e-learning, our school has been actively promoting e-learning to pupils. In case some of your whom may have missed out, last year the P5 had e-learning from home. Instead of coming to schools, Pupils actually stay at home and accessed the portal and complete assignments from the portal. For a start, I would like to find out if any child has difficulty accessing the Internet from home. Pls drop me and email. (Its Low_kiah_wee@moe.edu.sg)
