The Unit of Life

Dear students,

A quick recap of today's lessons.

Science

We learned about cells. Cells are the smallest unit of life. They differ in shape, size and function. Cells are important as they play a major role in helping us to survive and go about our daily activities.

cells --> tissues --> organs

There are organisms with only one cell and others with many cells. An example of an one-cell organism is yeast. An example of a many-cells organism is an elephant.

In addition, cells division helps cells to reproduce.

Social Studies

We learned about a major event which marked the turning point in the history of Singapore - the Japanese Occupation of Singapore.

The main important lesson to be learned is that we must ourselves defend Singapore and no one owes Singapore a living.

In all,

We learned about knowledge in Science and also knowledge for national education and citizenship education. It is important to be well versed in both aspects in order to be a complete student. Do not forget what you have learned today.

Quote of the day

"There is a reason for everything we do and learn. Look at how we can apply our knowledge that we picked up in schools to our daily lives. What we learned must never be forgotten. Practise, revise and perfect it."


Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
