Congrats & Thank You

I would like to congratulate Cheng Han and Qin Xu for representing Endeavour at the MOE Excel Fest 2012. I am very proud of you children! Thank you for being such a natural talent in carrying out your duties. I received several positive feedback from fellow teachers and some parents who attended the Excel Fest. It is honour to be selected and represent the school for such events. I hope both Cheng Han and Qin Xu will share their experiences with the rest of the classmates sometime soon.


Our STELLAR Writing Experience

After attending a few STELLAR workshops, I decided to try out the STELLAR writing approach introduced during the workshop. I incorporated cooperative learning into the STELLAR writing lesson to emphasize our 3C's to my pupils. 4A children clearly had fun with the pre-reading and writing activities conducted during the lesson. Don't they look super busy....









Congrats to Feb Math Quiz Winners!

4A would like to congratulate all Math Quiz winners for the month of Feb. Bravo!Keep it up children!





Showing Confidence...

4A Children showed that they have become more confident over the past 1.5 years during their group presentations done both during English and Science Alternative Assessment last term. It was heartening to see them rehearse their speeches and coordinate with one another. Check them out in action....











Tables & Line Graph Lesson...

This time we decided to gather data to construct a line graph through play. We used the activity found in our workbook on coin tossing to help us achieve this. I broke up the class into groups of 3 and the pupils were asked to toss a coin to determine the number of heads and tails each try. Every one of them had to try a few times and record their findings in a table.

This activity engaged pupils in understanding how people gathered data and how they were recorded to help us plot a graph. I also got the children to construct their own questions based on the data collected. I was impressed to see that almost all of them were able to come up with at least one simple question that they could ask their friend based on the gathered data. Here's how we did it...














Welcome to Term 2

Hi!Children...its been some time since I posted things on our blog. Its 3 weeks past since the term has begun and I feel time flies super fast! Before you know it, it will SA1 examinations. We need to work together this term to revise our daily work. I need all of you to work hard for all your subjects both in school and at home. Stay focused during lesson time, be consistent in your homework and most importantly ask questions when in doubt. I wish all 4A children the very best of luck!


Cheers,

Mdm Pavithra.
