Blog: On

Sometime ago I shared an activity I did in the classroom with some of my colleague. Wanting to show how it looked like, I browsed through this long-abandoned class blog of minse for some photos. I found them. But I also found some other activities with descriptions and photos. Brings back memories of my then cute little students and makes me wonder why I stopped blogging.

Blogging means sharing what I do in my class. For others, or maybe just for my future self when I get bored with all the same routines and need some ideas or inspirations or just reminders...

So, let’s start blogging again!

Welcome to Term 4!

Welcome to term 4! How was your term break --or Exploration Week, if you joined Exploration Week activities? I believe it must have been great!


Now with your mind refreshed, you're ready to learn many new things in term 4: Poems, Quantifiers, Connectors, Prepositions, and Adverbs in English; Time, Angles, Parallel and Perpendicular Lines, and Area and Perimeter in Math; and in Science: Heat, Electricity... wait that sounds a lot! Yeah, it's a lot, but I promise it'll be a whole lot of fun too! But, don't forget to put on your hard work. This is quite a short term, in a blink of an eye, Semester Assessment 2 is around the corner.


So, are you ready?

SLC & Parents Feedback

Thursday, March 22, 2012, we had an SLC, Student Led Conference. We've been very happy to welcome all the parents. Students showed their parents their projects from term 3 and from the Annual Project. 

Ms. Ira, thx for the beautiful artworks and the photos! :)

At the end of the SLC, parents gave feedback related to the students' performance. Here is the summary:

What do you think of your child’s performance this term?
