Robinson Crusoe + The Human Circulatory System

Dear all,

It's the start of week 4! Officially, we have 8 days of school before you start your first SA2 paper. Times does fly by quickly. How's your progress for your revision?

We started on our last unit for English today, "Robinson Crusoe".

You can read a quick summary of the story here --> Crusoe

I have uploaded the show courtesy of YOUTUBE in case you do want to follow the story. Through the character, we learn how his quick thinking helped him to get out of trouble. Even through the obstacles, he is able to think rationally and jot down the positive and negative points and with hope, it carried him through the tough times. That is one good learning point.

This unit will concentrate on comprehension open-ended practice. Remember to highlight the key words, spot the clues in the passage and answer in complete, formal sentences!

English supplementary and remedial is on tomorrow and Unit 12 dictation test is on Wednesday.

We have almost come to the end of the last topic for Science, "Human Circulatory System".

You can visit this site for videos and quizzes. HCS

Do take that oxygen goes in to the body to the lungs to the heart and to the rest of the body while carbon dioxide comes out through the rest of the body to the heart to the lungs and out of your nose.

Take note of the flow and arrows.

The heart, blood and blood vessels work together with the lungs for the circulatory system to function.

Blood vessels contain blood. There are 3 types of blood vessels - Arteries (Carry blood rich in oxygen), Capillaries (exchange of waste materials take place) and the Veins (carry blood rich in carbon dioxide out of the body)

Systems are all interlinked together such as the digestive system, muscular and skeletal system, respiratory system and circulatory system. Study the topics together! Also, study cells as you link the topics all together under the theme of system!

All the best for your revision.
