Information Report

For our first unit together, 4A pupils learned about the text type, Information Report. They went home and did some research on their chosen rainforest animal.

The following day, they gathered into their respective groups for discussion. They sieved out relevant details to include in their report.



Each member helped to do the write-up.





Finally, the presentation…

Fitness Friday

This morning, dark clouds seemed to forecast an impending downpour. Soon enough, it rained heavily.

But the pupils did not miss out on their Fitness Friday!

They exercised in the classroom ... to the video of "Witch Doctor".

See them in action:

Animal names as verbs

We can use the names of some animals as verbs to talk about a person's behaviour. Such verbs remind us of the habits and features of a particular animal.

For example: to crow means to boast.

Can you think of other animals whose names can also be used as verbs?

Here is a short quiz for you to try out: Animals as verbs

Buddy Leaders

I would also like to commend the following pupils for taking the effort to find out more about their buddies:

1. Nadia and Ifa
2. Rashidee
3. Izmir
4. Ximenez and Yang Zhi
5. Jerome and Darwin
6. Zandra
7. Peng Jing Ying

After careful deliberation, the Best Buddy Leaders' Award goes to ... Nadia and Ifa!

Congratulations!

Dragon's Teeth Gate

Dragon's Teeth Gate, also known as Long Ya Men, served as a navigational guide to help sailors and traders.

It was located near the present site of Labrador Park, in the south of Singapore.

Here is a replica of the Dragon's Teeth Gate which was put up in 2005.
