1st Posting for 2008

Welcome to the class blog of 4 Excellent 2008 of White Sands Primary School. This would serve an avenue for sharing the happenings in class and also a discussion forum for parents and student alike. More functions will be added on later.

Cheers to a new year. Let's make this year a time of discovery and enjoyable learning for all.

Lo Hei 2007

Once again, it's back to school after a 4 day Lunar New Year break. The teachers had a little "lo hei" today to celebrate in our own tiny way. Doesn't the food look delicious. I heard that every ingredient has a meaning. Does anyone know?

The soccer boys has done us proud when they won 2-0 today. That assures them a place in the top 2. Well done boys.

Lunar New Year Celebrations 2007

The class went to the computer lab to type in the anti-drug essay before proceeding to the hall for the Lunar New Year Celebrations.

There was an exciting concert which included a Gu Zheng performance, a skit, a choral performance, singing of Lunar New Year songs and of course not forgetting the Lion Dance. This year, there were TWO PLAYFUL lions... I liked that the most. What about you?

Total Defence Day

The whole of Singapore commemorates Total Defence Day today. The school played its part by carrying out the school emergency exercise. They was a fire drill and the whole school evacuated to the school field.

The P5 also had a very special Science lesson today. They gathered in the hall and made models of animal and plant cells. These were some of the materials which were used:

Starch - cytoplasm
Preserved plum - nucleus
Ziploc Bag - cell membrane
Chloroplast - green bean
Plastic container - cell wall

Looking at the video, the students sure had fun!

After school, there was the salad making competition. All the salads looked absolutely delicious. Stay tuned. The results will be announced next Wednesday.

Anti-Drug Writing Competition

Write a story of about 250 words on the pictures above. The videos that we viewed in class can be downloaded from the CNB website here. Remember to use more feeling and descriptive words.

The Lone Febby

A very happy birthday to our one and only Febby, Nurhan. All the best for the year. He seems to have a cheeky grin on his face. I wonder why.... Hmmm...

Learning Journey to Chinatown

The class went to Chinatown today as part of the primary 5 learning journey. It was decided that they should go at this time because it is just before Lunar New Year. They were many things to see there. I think the best part was shopping.

However, I am sure the class learnt many things too. What are some things that you learnt from this learning journey?
