National Day Drumming Performance

Bravo, boys and girls, you have done yourself ... and teachers ( Miss Wen, Mrs Tan & me! me!) PROUD . Given the little time you had to rehearse on stage, everything went smoothly- all of you took up position correctly, adapted quickly when you observed the need to, and most importantly, gave the audience a rousing performance that had many among them drumming imagery drums and shaking their bodies to the rhythm.

And we MUST NOT forget the group of you who came early and helped carried all the musical instruments onto the stage- you said you would do it, and you did :) I'm REALLY PROUD of you for the sense of responsibility in you and the demonstration of teamwork and loyalty to the class. YEAH! Good job!

Brunei Trip

 FINALLY, the hiccups of updating the blog are cleared >.<

I believe the Brunei trip is an eye-opener for many of the pupils. It was a first time for a number of pupils to fly in a plane, to leave the country and for many, a first time experience to taste grubs ;)

Group photo before we leave for Brunei.

The opposite side of the group photo captures proud or may be anxious parents leaving the pupils in the good hands of the teachers ;)

Having a go at wrapping glutinous rice. The more interesting part for our pupils was eating the fruit of their labour.

One of the greatest highlight of the whole trip - visiting the sago factory.
Watching how grubs in sago trees are harvested and having a factory worker demonstrating the eating of a live grub.

The look of disbelief and awe on our pupils' faces!

We must have hurt the feelings of the grubs when we squirmed at the sight of them ;)
Such juicy, fat, energetic wriggling grubs.

Answer Key for Science CA2 Practice Papers (remaining questions)

Dear 5A

We were unable to go through two questions in class. You should have 2 sets of practice papers with you. Please revise. :)

Please refer to the answers below. Let me know if you are unsure of any parts on Wednesday morning before assembly.

38c	Concept: Making an electromagnet The iron bar became demagnetized / loses its magnetism as the circuit was not closed when the ball was at point B.
38d	Concept: Magnetic materials Iron / Steel / Cobalt / Nickel (Any one of the above)
39a	Concept: Heat conduction Heat from the hot water travelled faster through the Rod A than Rod B. [½m] So, the wax at the end of the Rod A gained heat faster and melted first, followed by the wax at the end of Rod B. [½m] Answer must show the source of heat and the comparison between Rod A and B.
39b	Concept: Experiment & Fair Test -          Size of the wax / Amount of wax
39c	Concept: Heat conduction Rod A is a better conductor of heat than Rod B. Rod A conduct heat faster than Rod B
