Age of the Dinosaurs

Dear all,

It is finally the 9th week. One more week to go before term 3 officially ends. It's your P5 Camp next week and the briefing has been done today. Hope you have taken note of the important details and please do not bring along your handphones. If you need to bring to contact your parents when they come pick you up, you can pass the phone to the teachers and we will leave it in the general office for safekeeping for the 3 days that you are away.

Please take care of your health this week. Drink plenty of water and keep yourself well and strong. I do want you to enjoy the camp.

[Age of the Dinosaurs]

We have started on a new topic for today on the topic of Science Fiction stories and writers. One such topic was the dinosaurs. We know that dinosaurs did exist in the past. But what really caused their extinction? Until today, scientists are not able to find out the real reason behind it. As such, we can only gather clues and make our own judgement. Here is the video we watched today. It is 40 odd minutes long. You can finish watching it during your free time.


Moral of the story learnt from today's passage on Jurassic Park:
We do not recreate nature. Let nature take its course!

[Extra reading materials + Mind Map]

In encouraging everyone to read widely and critically, books from the public library have been loaned out to you. Do read them and apply the skills I have taught you. Your task would be to create and design a mind map to consolidate your learning from the book. Here is a sample of the mind map.


Thank You,
Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
