End of Week 2

Dear all,

It is the end of week 2. Times does fly by quickly. We are almost halfway done for our Science workbook. We have almost come to the end of Unit 1 of English with another 2 more units left. Press on always and work hard. The hard work begins this year.

Learning points of the day:

English

We went through the weaknesses and things to note for Situational Writing. Remember to always read the questions carefully. A letter or a word may be a difference to your marks and will change the meaning of the phrase. For e.g Hougang Supermarket (specific name of a supermarket) vs A supermarket in Hougang (not sure of the name but we know that it is one supermarket in Hougang).
Take note of the format of Situational writing and for report, lets' do a recap.

Date: __________

Title (Underline the title and only capitalize the first letter of the words for Nouns and Verbs)

Points 4 - 6 in the second paragraph (No 2 finger spacing needed. Leave a line in between to indicate a new paragraph)

Reported by: ____________
(Position if any)

Homework:

• Newspaper Article Review (5 Vocabulary Words and Reflection) Take articles that talk about current affairs and relevant to our lives and meaningful.
• Journal Writing with the topic of "My best friend in class" Answer these points 

- Describe the person
- Why is he/she your best friend
- How he/she has helped you
- What good values does he/she have that you can learn from

Science

I went through with you the common mistakes of your activity book answers today. Remember that you need to be very specific with your words especially when it comes to experiment type of questions. Today's example given was: "Number of bubble produced" vs "Number of bubbles produced within 1 minute". Look at the question and read through first. You need to use the key words and concepts and apply to the given scenario.

We also went through the reading of graphs and how to interpret the reading of graphs. Today's main concept is that if an object contains more gravitational potential energy, it will also possess more kinetic energy when it moves.

Happy Birthday to Felicia and Samuel :)

Next week, we will begin supplementary lessons. Do not forget about it.

Happy weekend,
Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
