Hi pupils!

Don't they look huge?

Eye Care Week and Term 1 Math Games

Dear pupils,

Have you been taking good care of your eyes? I sure hope so! Remember to rest your eyes after doing near work.

Did you enjoy the outdoor Science lesson we had today? It was a nice change of environment. Do you remember what were the flowering plants and non-flowering plants that we saw today? Here's a snapshot of what you did! :)


Remember the Math Game we had just before Term 1 ended? You guys did a great job with the multiplication, division and the graph drawing! Hope you enjoyed the time as much as I did! :)

Mealworm Beetles

Hi pupils,

How are your mealworm beetles growing? I hope they are still alive! :)

Here's one of the mealworms living under the same roof as Miss Neo. It'll be some time before it goes into the next stage of its life cycle. Let's wait patiently for them to grow! :)
