Spelling Princess

Molly is the Spelling Princess for this term. She has put in LOTS of effort to learn her spelling and dictation. Her spelling and dictation results is the BEST in the class.
A note for parents: The results for spelling and dictation will not be counted in for SA marks.

They are growing!

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the plants have grown so much over the weekend! =)

Leaders

I would like to thank the Group Leaders, Assistant Leaders and Eco Leaders who served the class enthusiastically in Term 1.

These pupils will take over the duties in Term 2. Truman, Jordan, Chuyi and Ying Ying are the new Eco Leaders.

Xin Ru and Raymond will be leaders for the Blue Group.

Grace and Jaime are the leaders of Yellow Group.

Bryan and Xi Zhi are the leaders of Red Group.

Timothy and Ramesh are the leaders of Green Group.

Tadpoles

Molly insisted that I took a picture of the tadpoles. We were given four tadpoles (from the Jurong Frog Farm) to keep to observe the growth. Spencer kept three days and Molly kept for a week. Ee Teng is taking care of them during this vacation.
The fish tank is provided by Molly. Thanks dear! =)

Best Group

I would say the BEST group award for Term 1 goes to Red group!

Here presenting the members....

We are growing..

We are growing kangkong plants in class now. However, we are doing it the hydroponics way.

Hydroponics(From the Greek hydro, water, and ponos, energy) is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel, mineral wool, or coconut husk. (Definition taken by Wikipedia).

We started growing on Tuesday and we can see the shoots today. We are very excited and hopefully we can harvest the vegetables at the end of the month.

Top Borrower

Congratulations to Chu Yi for being the top borrower! Yeah! Our class is also the top borrowing class for January too! Yeah! Yeah!

Let's Jump

A short video taken at the Bullfrog Farm.

To Bullfrog Farm

We went on our first learning journey to the Jurong Bullfrog Farm on 3rd March. I believed it was very educational for the children. They learnt how to handle the bullfrogs and even had the opportunity to feed the bullfrogs. Our guide, Ms Chelsea, shared with us some facts about the bullfrogs.

Dahlia, Spencer and Timothy had the opportunity to hold the bullfrog. The rest of the children touched the bullfrogs....

We went to the mating pond. We were instructed to be quiet as we observed the bullfrogs.

The children fed the bullfrogs too.

The rain came down when we completed the outdoor activity. We knew it was going to rain as the frogs were croaking. The children then gathered indoor to complete the rest of the activity book.

After completing the activty book, we went indoor to watch a video. I saw the name card of the card. She is a Frog-o-logist.

A few children signed the guest book.

We managed to reach school only at about 4.40pm. A long day for all of us but it was definitely an educational trip.

Growing Kangkong

We are growing kangkong. Hopefully the results will be better than the ones we grew in the cups. Heheee!

We have left the seeds in the rooftop garden.
