Zoo Outing

Barely 48 hours after the school sports day, the primary 3 level went on an excursion to the Singapore Zoological Gardens the following Monday. The objective of the trip was to introduce animals to pupils and to teach them characteristics of some animals in order to classify them. The pupils of the entire cohort were divided into 6 groups and led by a teacher and 1-2 parent volunteers. It was a very short trip, considering that the zoo is such a gigantic place. Hahaha....

Not long after we set off, some pupils complained that it was a long walk and they felt tired. No trams, no rides... but we had a good time looking at animals. We saw lions, zebras, baboons, giraffes and many more! The zoo is truly an educational place. Though we did not have sufficient time to go through all the exhibits, I would encourage you to go to the zoo with your family to learn more about these animals.

Indeed, I myself have learnt a lot! The last time I went to the zoo was more than 6 years ago, and the place has really been transformed. =) Certainly looking forward to a whole day's trip to the zoo again!!

What are your thoughts about this excursion? Any funny incidents along the trip? What was one thing that you picked up from this trip?

Sports Day

Last Saturday, the entire school was at Toa Payoh Sports Hall for our annual sports day. It was a blazing morning and the sun was beating down brightly on us all. First, we had the march past, followed by the events and then prize giving. All in all, it took up almost 5 hours and I would say the pupils all enjoyed themselves tremendously! =)

Pupils who took part in the competition displayed a good amount of sportsmanship and they were all motivated to represent their various houses. We have Falcon, Hawk, Eagle and Kingfisher houses. Well, Ms Seow was from Hawk house, and was helping out with the competitors section. It was really fun seeing the school cheering for each other. Even parents who took time off to cheer on their kids were seen enjoying themselves too.

Some pictures were taken during the break time with my class 3/4 as well as occasionally over the event.

Here they are! Oh yes, feel free to share with us how you enjoyed that day.

What is your method of solving Maths word problems?

Hi 3/4,
May I request for you to comment on the methods you use to solve Maths word problems?
Examples would be:
Model drawing
Looking for clues, and so on

I need this feedback from you so as to cater my teaching of word problems to your learning needs.

Thank you,
Ms Seow
