The Grade 1 students delved further into their mathematical journey by strengthening their multiplication skills. They dedicated time to mastering the 2 and 3 times tables, laying a solid foundation for their future mathematical endeavours. In Literacy, Grade 1 students enthusiastically engaged in the Spelling Bee contest. This event provided them with a valuable opportunity to not only review and reinforce the vocabulary they have been acquiring but also to foster camaraderie with their peers and educators. It was heartening to witness their eagerness to participate and their joy in learning.

This week's Art classes were characterised by a concerted effort to incorporate natural elements and minimise material waste. Across different grade levels, students embarked on varied artistic endeavours aimed at both fostering creativity and promoting environmental consciousness. 

Kindergarten 3, Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 students underwent a tactile exploration of homemade play dough crafted from flour, salt, and water. 

Grades 4 and 5 created digital artwork intending to raise awareness about the collective efforts of communities in mitigating the impact of natural disasters.

Meanwhile, Grade 6 students delved deep into the intricate art of Batik, gaining insight into the cultural significance and craftsmanship behind this traditional practice, exemplified by a member of their own community. 

Through these diverse activities, students not only honed their artistic skills but also cultivated a sense of responsibility towards the environment and community engagement.

As students from Grades 1 to 6 have been improving their typing skills, this week they were introduced to the 'Top Row' of the keyboard. The top row keys consist of the letters Q, W, E, R, and T for the left hand, and Y, U, I, O, and P for the right hand. These keys have different functions and can be useful for quick actions and shortcuts, allowing the students to expand their typing vocabulary and become more proficient as technology users.

Language is an art. As such, Grade 3 students have been learning about fables. They understood that fables are short in length and learnt how to analyse their concise language and highly educational language art. Additionally, they focussed on summarising the moral lessons gained from the fables that they concentrated their attention on. 

Grade 1 students learnt about one new punctuation mark: the exclamation mark! They understood its usage through text analysis and tried to read sentences containing exclamation marks vividly, conveying the emotions of the protagonist. Finally, they concluded that, when we need to express strong emotions, we use exclamation marks!      

Grade 6 students have been investigating Chinese and foreign literary masterpieces and discovered the power and artistic value of novels. This week, in particular, they experienced the vivid characters and fantastic storyline of the famous novel ‘Robinson Crusoe,’ discussing some of its excerpts. Furthermore, Grade 6 students also read ‘A Dream of Red Mansions,’ one of the four great classics in ancient China. In order to encourage students to read more books and cultivate their general interest in reading, the class analysed some of the names of the characters in the aforementioned masterpiece, experiencing the art of character names. In this novel, the author used homophones, literary references, flowers and birds to name them, thus conveying their special meanings. In addition, the students inquired about the cooking, poetry, clothing and cultural arts mentioned in this book, sharing their own opinions on these interesting aspects.

Grade 1 students learned subtraction within 20. In the process of learning, they discovered specific rules that can help them calculate the results more quickly. Students also referred to different methods to solve simple real-life problems and experience the art of mathematics.   

Grade 2 students explored averaging by learning how to recognise two types of averaging through drawing, circling, and dividing activities. Drawing exercises especially investigated the foundation for the concept of ‘averaging’, helping the students better familiarise themselves with this newly acquired knowledge.

This week K3 and G1 played Clap Ball for the practice of throw and catch skills in the P.E. lesson. Students were sitting in a circle facing each other. The first child threw a ball up in the air and had to clap once before catching the ball. He or she then passed the ball to the next child who would do the same. The ball continued around the circle until it got back to the first child, who then needed to clap twice before catching the ball and passing it. Continue to increase the challenge by adding claps in between catches.

G2 and G3 students had the game Knockout Wallie in the P.E. lesson for shooting skills. Students took it in turns to kick a ball against a goal. If someone missed the goal, they were given the first letter of the word. The first person to receive every letter of the word was the loser.

G4, G5 and G6 had bandage Tag in the P.E. lesson. There were 4 taggers to tap the others. When someone is tagged, they would put their hand over the spot where they were tagged—that was the “bandage.” The second time someone was tagged, they had to put their other hand as a second bandage. A third tag and the player would go to the “Hospital.” —a pre-determined spot at the edge of the playing area. When all players are in the hospital, the game is over.
