Math Word Problems Presentation

We did Math Review 1 exercises from the workbook.
Qn 24 was particularly interesting.
The class actually solved this problem using 5 different methods.
We invited 5 groups of pupils to share their methods with their classmates today.
It was indeed a great learning experience for all.
Well done, children!

Rainbow Day 1 (Total Defence Day): 5C Dance: Never Say Never (Psychological Defence)

Rainbow Day Photos

Congratulations 5C! We did it!
I'm so proud of all of you for putting up an excellent show today during Rainbow Day 1.

Recalling all the weeks of practices which we have endured, I hope that all of you have learnt that, in all things, in order to have good results, we must put in hard work.

No matter how tough the tasks would be, we must be diligent and persevere on till the end.

In everything we do (be it dancing, studying, doing group project etc), we must remember to have a positive attitude. With hard work and determination, we will be able to achieve much together.

Let's translate the zeal and effort in preparing for Rainbow Day dance into determination to achieve great academic results as we prepare for the coming CA1.

I simply love the lyrics:
I will never say never
I will fight till forever
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up
And never say never

I'll be posting our dance video soon. (watch the space!)

CHEERFULLY on stage,
CONFIDENTLY displaying our weeks of hard work.
And I'm truly CONTENDED to see all of you so
COMMITTED in wanting to put up a great dance for the occasion!
I'm so proud of all of YOU!!!
All the best and enjoy the moment!
