The first week of school of 2010.

The orientation week is over and it's time for serious work. Before that, let's take a look at some pictures taken during one of the level bonding games - Telematch.

Here's the first game. It requires the pupils to move the hula hoop from the first pupil to the last in the row with their hands held together.

Here are the snapshots of the second game which requires the pupils to work in pairs to transport the ball to the basket.

Nurturing this batch of "seedlings" from P5, I hope they will be ready for their challenges at the end of this year.

Likewise, I hope my batch of "seedlings" which will be collecting their 'O' levels results tomorrow will be proud of their results. I will be awaiting for their good news. :)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May all your wishes come true.

I'm back and ready to catch the Shinkansen with my kiddos. So, are my kiddos ready for 2010?

Here are some pictures to share with you what I have been up to lately.

1st row (L to R) I befriended Doraemon, asked the god if you guys will pass with good results for PSLE and pretended to visit a little girl in a 2D picture.

2nd row (Lto R) I visited Fuji-san and befriended the friendly locals.

3rd row (L to R) I caught the Shinkansen (Bullet train) and visited a UNESCO Heritage Site in a snow storm.

4th row (L to R) I saw the Engetsuto where I'm supposed to see the sun set through the hole in the rock and took a walk on Shirahama Beach where there was hardly anyone around.

Hmm, I wonder what my kiddos have been up to lately and they will have to share when school re-opens.

Interview with the Professionals

Kudos to the 5 parents. 1 sister and 2 overseas friends who took part in our EL program - Interview with the Professionals on 14 August 2009.

It was truly an engaging and enriching experience for both the interviewees and the little interviewers.

Once again, a big "Thank You" for participating actively in our programs. Without your support, this program would not be a success.

It's APBL week!

The pupils have been given a task to save the withering plants of our Wall Garden - Hortus Eliascus.

Each group has been given a plant to adopt for a week and they have to try and find out the root of the problem.

These pupils will have to make decisions like how much water to give to the plants and where to place the plants based on their needs.

By the end of the week, they will have to prepare a proposal using Microsoft PowerPoint to propose a solution based on their findings to save the plants of our Hortus Eliascus. In order to do that, they will have to work together to discuss what to present ... ...

and how to present the ideas.

Stay tuned for more updates.

We went to Road Safety Park on 2 Feb 2009. It was a hot day but I'm sure the pupils had fun while learning to abide by the safety rules. Here are some evidence:





The pupils role played to be pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. They had to call on the different check points according to the sequence stated in their logcards. Pupils who did not abide by the safety rules were given demerit points by the 'policemen' or 'policewomen' on duty.
I hope my pupils will remember a tip or two learned from this activity and apply them on the real public roads.
