Need help with fractions?

Dear class,

Fractions has always been a difficult concept to grasp for many pupils. Unfortunately, I do not have time in class to go through fractions with you because there are many new things we need to cover for P6. What I can do to help you is to provide you with resources for you to do your own independent learning. I would love to guide you in your learning however it is equally important that you learn to learn on your own and be independent learners. (I will always be there for you if you ever need help, so do feel free to come to me with your questions)

Below are two websites on fractions, if you are very weak in fractions, I suggest you go through the websites.

1. Visual fractions - an online tutorial
2. Fractions Main Page


Happy Learning,
Yew

Trip to Raffles Museum

Once again, we are going off for our next Science trip.
This time round, we are going to the Raffles museum to learn more about adapations of birds.

Things to take note:

1. You will be leaving your school bag in school however you will need to bring along your writing
writings hence you might want to bring a small bag along with you for the trip.

2. I have been very pleased with your behavior so far during the outings we have gone for. This time round, my expectations are the same. You must be on your BEST behavior at ALL times.

3. You will be let off for lunch tomorrow at 1215 and you will need to assemble outside the general office by 1245 pm sharp.

4. We will be reaching school around 515-530.

Lastly, I am sure you will have a fruitful trip.

PS: You will need to do a reflection after the trip just like what you did for the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

Fun games for lower primary

Dear pupils,

If you have younger siblings from age 5 - 8, I think they will love this site. It is full of fun maths games.

Just to name a few:
For those crazy about soccer, you will love this one ... soccer subtraction

For those who like arcade type of spaceship shooting game .... flight for fuel

Oh.. and an egyptian theme game featuring a very funky dancing mummy, you have to get the question right to see it dance.... the funky mummy

PS: Do note these games are really too easy for you but they are great for your younger brothers and sisters.

Love,
Yew

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.

Regards,

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
