Multiplication Games

Dear children,

So far for Mathematics, we have learnt Factors, Multiples, Multiplication with 2 digits, etc. We should be covering Division next week. If you are aware, all these topics require you to be very familiar with your multiplication tables. So if you think you need further practice, please click on the following link to play some interesting multiplication games. I personally recommend TimezAttack and Eggstatic.

Cheers,
Mr Tan Mun Sing

Writing an Information Report

Dear children,

As the title suggests, we will be going to the computer lab on this coming Wednesday to write an information report on termites. Before that, I need you to do the following things:

  1. View a couple of videos.
  2. Visit some websites listed below, and read up to find out general information about the termites, its appearance, feeding habits, etc.
  3. Familiarise yourself with the structure of an information report by reading pages 14 to 17 of your English textbook.

View the video below, and be amazed at extent of damage these tiny termites can cause!

Speak Good English

Dear children,

I'm glad that you have begun to communicate with your friends over the Cbox. However, I notice that a handful of you have a bad habit of writing "lazily" online. Let's aspire to speak and write good English so that we can be understood beyond the shorelines of Singapore!
