Important reminder!

Hi all,
This is to remind what I've told you yesterday about having Unit 11 Spelling on Friday and Unit 11 Dictation next Tuesday. The dictation is as below;

The Olympic Games are held once every four years. You can get information about the different events from the newspapers. Most Olympic athletes are champions in their own country. They work hard at their sport and dream of victory in their events. Often, the winners set new records for their sport.


Can you explain the oddness in the picture?

Bonus Questions...

Hellooooo,
These are the questions that were posed to you during the past two days of lessons.

  1. Science: What are the difference between "Hydroponics" and "Aeroponics"?

  2. Math: After trying the 'movement' method to finding unknown sides of a figure, do you think the method can be applied to ALL composite figures?

A funny day today that made me smile and filled my day with fun and memorable moments! TKL incredibly accidently, innocently broke Ms Chung's letterbox cover and Mr Alvin Tan tore his P3 pants like the incredible hulk! Thank you for the memories boys. :)

Congratulations 4 Joy!


I'm proud to be with you all :)

Tuesday's Dictation

Greetings all,

We would be having the Unit 9 Dictation this Tuesday. Please do the necessary actions.

Example, do your corrections by Tuesday and ask your parents to sign the spelling book.

Unit 9 Dictation

I enjoy novels which are filled with suspense. A writer must have a good imagination to write such a novel. It also helps if there are good illustrations. They make the novel more interesting. I dislike novels with a moral or message. I prefer novels which are full of action.

Ruler and other terms....

Hi all,
Mrs Chia said that you can change the ruler to read in centimetres. You can also flip it to the side. All you need to do is to right click and choose. :)

Unit price is the price for 1 item. If you are buying 2 or more of the same item, then 2 is the quantity. Take the quantity to multiply the Unit price and you get the total price.

Tuesday's Spelling

Hi all,

Please learn the similes on Unit 8's supplementary worksheet. If you did not tear the page when you handed up the wksht on Friday, then we'll go through them on Monday.

Monday, 21 July 2008

Hi all,
Here's the dictation for this Wednesday.
Unit 8: James and the Giant Peach
I find fantasy novels very enjoyable. There are usually amazing characters in them. Sometimes I find a novel so interesting that I forget to eat or sleep. I curl up in a cosy corner and forget about time altogether. My family members have to search for me. I get annoyed when people disturb me while I’m reading a favourite novel! (60 words)

Racial Harmony Day


Hello boys and girls,

What a tiring day! My ears are tired from all the noise, my eyes are tired from counting the money...
Do you know how much did we make? We make a total of S$420.95!!! Congratulations!!!

The money collected are from class donations (Yee Ching has the most amount donated, arigato gozaimas), coupons from the old folks home and the money from the sales of satay, bandung, water chestnut drink, packet drinks, coca-cola canned drinks and snacks (by Samuel and Jia Yi).

My heartiest thank YOUs to all that have helped in one way or another. I hope the Geylang Senior citizens home will find the donations very helpful.
