Think about this

1. Think of a number from 1 to 10.
2. Multiply by 9.
3. If your result is a two-digit number, add the two digits together.
4. Subtract 5
5. You will always get 4.

If you think you know why, leave a comment and your name behind.

Dear pupils,

A minority of you have not been respecting the rules of the blog. You are posting comments that are disrespectful to others as well as yourself. As mentioned many times before, you must understand that the blog sphere is a public place in which you are responsible for what you write and say. Just because you can made anonymous comments do not make you less guilty. For your information, there are blogsites which allow the author to log on to your IP address so you can never hide.

Science Experiential Learning Excursions

Dear Pupils,

We will soon be going for another Science trip to the Raffles Museum. Since I don't make you keep a science journal, I would like you to take some time out to post a comment on this post with regards to the last science trip "Rainforest Walk".

Tell me if you enjoyed the outing and one interesting thing you learnt on the trip.



Adios,
Yew

PS: Remember .. same rules apply .. respect others and yourself

Did you know?

Read the news article below:

Did you know that worrying about how you will do in the math test will affect your performance in the test? .... so the next time you are taking a Math test, stop thinking about how many marks you will get instead concentrate on solving the problems correctly.

Adios,
Yew

The beginning

Dear pupils from 6E and 6F,

Welcome to my blog. I hope you will enjoy reading and using this blog as much as I enjoy having it. As your Mathematics & Science teacher, I hope this blog will be an useful resource for your learning.

I will be putting up announcements, important assignments and interesting weblinks on my blog so do check it out often.

I am also thinking of having a blog committee (one each for 6E and F) to allow some the access to maintain the blog. If you are interested to be part of the committee, you can apply to me by sending in your application. In your application, you should state your competency in IT, reasons for joining the committee and why you should be in the committee. The closing date is 14 Feb, Wed.

I look forward to your applications. :)
Adios for now....

Love,
Yew
