Rope Skipping

Rope skipping is super fun! Our instructor told us that we've improved so much. Some of us will be performing during the Friday Calisthanics. Here's  sneak peek at our practise session.

Maths Fun

The topic of length is one of our favourites because we get to really measure. We went out of our class to measure the corridor of our classroom. It was really fun.

Our next favourite topic is mutliplication adn division because we get to compete with our friends when a multiplication or division card is drawn out! At times, we got overly excited that we have to shout our answers which troubled our teachers. Oops!

The next fun topic is on numbers within 1000. We learnt about odd and even numbers and patterns. We role-played as teachers to create a pattern for our friends to try out.

Can't wait for the next semester where we get to learn more about Maths and do more hands-on activities.

What's Those?

Wow!!! Look at all those chinese instrument. I've never thought I had a chance to get so close to them. Thanks to our music teachers they allowed us to touch, play and strum on them.

Do you know that this is called a suona. There's so many buttons on it. I wonder how the performer remembers which keys are for which notes.

Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong-DONG! The drums resonates beautifully as we beat the rhythm together!

What about this? Don't you love our group photograph! It's really heavy for us to carry! The strings are made from wire. It hurts when we tried strumming on it. It takes hard work to play it melodiously!

Remembering Mr Lee Kuan Yew

The whole nation was very upset that we've lost another great leader, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. We learnt that he was a man with vision. He was determined and caring. Through our teachers, we also realised that Mr Lee Kuan Yew was a very organised person. He stated his priority right and was hunble as well.

 As the nation mourns for the week. We also did our part in writing thank you notes. His story lives on forever in us and we will continue to strive to achieve the best that we can.

Cling Clung Clong Dang

What's going on in class today? We're having a swell time trying out how to play on all sorts of classroom percussion instruments. Some of them resonates and some don't. Some are tuned and some are untuned. We took turns to strike, shake, scrap on the instruments.  Most of them are made from metal, wood and plastic.

This is a gong. We like it because it really sounds! 

Check those cymbals out too! We can rub the two metal plates together and produce a different tonality.

We love sleigh bells the most because it give us a christmas feel. It really jingles all the way! We wonder what's install for us on our next music class.

PAL - Visual Arts

We don't need to be an artist to be awesome. We enjoyed our PAL session on Visual Arts. We learnt about Singapore and the ASEAN countries. We learnt that they have different national icons and what they represent too.

We were tasked to brainstorm for a logo in pairs. We're looking serious because it must be something significant.

We also solved a puzzle together.

We had to put on our aprons to keep our uniforms clean. We travelled around the countries that we discussed about in the lesson using paints and all sorts of other painting equipment.

See how our "footprints" turned out to be. Aren't they beautiful. We can't wait for the next lesson. It's going to be loads of fun again! Yahooooo!!!!

Fighting Climate Change

We had an exciting afternoon assembly talk in school. It's all about fighting climate change. The speakers performed very well and gave us a strong message what's climate change means. Now we know why the weather changes so drastically within a day in Singapore. We experience super warm temperature and heavy rains that floods terribly. We need to change our energy consumption habits.

First, always remember to switch off all the electric if we aren't using them. If we need to cool down the room, we must turn the temperature of the aircon at 25 degrees. We can also use a fan too. We can travel green by taking public transport or even walk to nearby places. And also practise the 3Rs, recycle, reuse and reduce.

After the performance, some of us were chosen to answer the quiz. One of our Primary 2 friend was lucky to be up on the stage too.

Look at him, he answered the questions very quickly and recieved his prize.

Congratulations to our friend.

Let's all start playing a part in fighting climate change for a better future!
