(Term 2 Wk 9, 18/5 - 22/5)
"Yo... Can you see me?"
"Look closer."
"I SAID LOOK CLOSER!"
"CAN YOU SEE ME!?!"Oops... I think you can see me now.
Hi, I am Loss. No... I mean my name is Loss.
Errr.. Yes, I'm LOST.
My owner dropped me on the ground without realising
he/she had lost me. Sigh...
Fortunately, the writer of this blog found me
along the way to Recess on Friday.
Are you at a loss (like the Loss above) after learning your SA1 results? Hmm, you shouldn't be. In fact, you should be planning on what you must do to improve. Whether you've done well or not, you should look forward as the 'real' battle is only about 90 days (Oral & LC) and 120 days (Written papers) away.
As the wise man (hahaha...) has always said,
'Your days are numbered. Right now, everyone must work very hard as the real battle is only months away.'
Before you comment that you have heard the 'wise' sentence many times, you must agree that time is ticking away. Attitude for learning must be at the very best. I will NOT tolerate any misbehaviour at this critical period. Also, revision is in your own hands now (so is your future). Ok, enough 'nagging'.
The week's review:
Bravo! The long-awaited 1.6km run had been completed! Last Friday, the weather was brilliant - enough sunshine for you to burn your calories. All of you except those who were absent completed the 1.6km run. The buddy system went smoothly as well for the Resilien-ians and Respect-ians (names I give to pupils from RS and RP respectively). Still, running must be continued so that you remain fit and healthy.
"Hello everyone. Remember me?"Mathematics: Congrats to those who have improved (Class Progress Award) their SA1 grades by a substantial margin, as well as the Top graders (Class Top Marks). I hoped the chocolates are as sweet as your achievements. Job well done. Don't rest on your laurels. Keep improving.
Coming up next: Area & Perimeter of Composite Figures.
Science: Congrats to those who have improved (Class Progress Award) their SA1 grades by a substantial margin, as well as the Top graders (Class Top Marks). I hoped the chocolates are as sweet as your achievements. Job well done. Don't rest on your laurels. Keep improving.
Coming up next: Science General Knowledge, 'Adaptations', PSLE Bklet
English: Congrats to those who have improved (Class Progress Award) their SA1 grades by a substantial margin, as well as the Top graders (Class Top Marks). I hoped the chocolates are as sweet as your achievements. Job well done. Don't rest on your laurels. Keep improving.
Deja Vu? Before you accuse me of 'copying' and 'pasting' the same words again, here's the add-on:

Congrats to 6RS (form class) Top 10! I hoped the chocolates are as sweet as your achievements. Job well done. Don't rest on your laurels. Keep improving. The rest must 'buck up'. If your friends can do it, so can you!
We'll continue with the TB teaching and learning. At the same time, grammar and vocabulary revision will be part of the routine too.
Weekend's work, check them out:
1) EL - Journal: "My P6 Year (Part 2) - Studies, Family & Friends, and Future (till Nov '09)"
2) MA - TB Let's Pract 10a: Q1-4 (Sketch the figures before you solve for area/perimeter)
3) SCI - Science General Knowledge Bklet (look through)
4) Ez-link Card Top up
5) Character to the Core Bklet Endorsement by Parents
Have a good weekend! Smile!
(By the way, can someone shed any light about the keychain 'LOSS'? I am clueless what character it is.)

(Term 2 Wk 8, 12/5 - 15/5)
Alright, it's time for 'harvesting' what you have sat for... the SA1 Examinations. To think that you just had the last paper on Wednesday, it actually came as no surprise that you were actually checking the papers as early as Thursday. Anyway, it is a routine to check the papers (and marks) after the exams. At this time, not only are you looking at how well you have done in your exams, you also have to look at areas for improvement. Be extra attentive as we go through the corrections, seek clarification whenever necessary.
Once you have consolidate your marks (in upcoming week), check if you have meet your targets. No matter what the outcome may be, you have to move on and get better. Time will not stop/rewind for anyone. We will base on your SA1 results and make adjustments to your targets accordingly. :>
Exams aside, lessons have resumed and so do focus lessons in the morning. During curriculum time, we go continue from where we have stopped. There are several topics left in every subjects and when we are done with them, we will go into the period of revisions.
Take a break during this weekend. For the efforts you have put in, you deserve a short rest. You should get back your papers by next week (provided markings are completed). So meanwhile, be happy, smile always. :>

(Term 2 Wk 7, 4/5 - 8/5)
Although the title had indicated that week 7 was the beginning of SA1 Exams (main papers), don't you think that there were other events that occupied the week too? Well, I am referring to the H1N1 virus screening. It is a blessing that the S'pore has dropped the alert to the yellow code on Thursday. There has been no report on any confirmation case on our island. Let's hope that the virus can be contained, controlled and eliminated soon, globally.
[Still, we must continue to take care of our health. Monitor our temperature when we do not feel well. Take proper medication when it is necessary.] - Also, make it a habit to wash your hand thoroughly and properly. Remember, it is for our personal hygiene.
OK, the week's update. You have taken the SA1 EL and MT papers on Wednesday and Friday respectively. There goes to say that there are two more coming up - MA (Tuesday) and SCI (Wednesday). Ever occur to you that there seems to have many holidays recently? Well, coming Monday will be a school holiday - holiday-in-lieu of Vesak Day. You get to have more time to revise for your exams as well as take a rest. Make good use of it.
Some Exams Reminders
- Careful! Yes, do NOT be careless. Read the instructions/questions carefully before you work on them. Every mistake made brings you further from perfection.
- Answer to the point. Give quality answer, not in quantity (lengthy but irrelevant)
- Work within the time given.
- Bring what you need. [2B pencils, calculators in working condition, maths set etc]
Hmmm, I shall end here. Have a nice weekend everyone! ;>

(Term 2 Week 6, 27/4 - 30/4)
No. I am not calling for help. Do not be mistaken by the title. I am trying to put across that May Day aka (also known as) Labour Day is here. In Singapore, we celebrate Labour Day on the 1st day of May. As it falls on a Friday this year, everyone gets to enjoy a 'long' weekend.
Well well, as much as you get to enjoy the long weekend, the exams are really round the corner. In fact, in coming week (Week 7), you will be taking MT and EL Paper 2. The former will be on the Wednesday and the latter on the Friday. Revision is what you need to be doing at this very moment. Besides, Mathematics and Science papers are coming up in week 8. There is simply little time for play now. (Note: There is actually another Holiday on the Monday of Week 8, holiday-in-lieu of Vesak Day)
Amid this busy period, please take note of the current news - SWINE FLU. The school has shared with you what the Flu is about. Please take care of your hygiene. Remind your family as well on the precautionary measures on personal hygiene. Falling sick should be the last thing to happen at this time.
Well, have a look at what's coming up in the week.
Week 7
- Monday - Temperature-taking Exercise AND 1.6km run
- Wednesday - MT Paper 2
- Friday - EL Paper 2
Week 8
- Monday - School Holiday
- Tuesday - MA Paper
- Wednesday - SCI Paper
Work to be done?
1) EL - Topical WS 7
2) MA - Circle Topical WS
3) Journal - Freestyle
Remember to put on PE ATTIRE on Monday. See you.
