Nursery Rhymes
Welcome back, boys and girls!
We have started on our first big book of the term: The Enormous Watermelon.
Here are some familiar nursery rhymes from the storybook:
Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown.
And Jill came tumbling after.
Wee Willy Winky
Wee Willy Winky
Wee Willy Winky
Runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs
In his nightgown,
Knocking on the window,
Crying through the lock
“Are all the children in their beds?
It’s past eight o’clock.”
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses,
And all the king's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
Little Miss Muffet
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider.
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away!

Ecogarden
Some time in Term 3, our ecogarden was revamped. Pupils of 1E were introduced to the features of the new ecogarden. They were also briefed on the safety issues and how to preserve the ecosystem of the garden.

Learning Journey to the Singapore Zoo
On 15 July, our class went on a learning journey to the Singapore Zoo. The students learned about animals in their English lessons. We just finished reading the Big Book "Tall, Short, Big or Small" so the visit was very timely. They were also required to complete a Mathematics Performance Task at the zoo. For this task they were required to work as a group to:
1) Collect and organise data on the zoo animals
2) Create their own animal picture graph
When they returned to class, they interpreted the data based on their picture graphs.
Besides seeing and learning about the many zoo animals, the children were also delighted by the seal's performance at the "Splash Safari" show. We want to say a big "Thank You" to Halim's mother for taking the time off to come along with us as a parent volunteer. She was a great help.
It was a tiring day as we did a lot of walking but it was a fun and memorable day of learning outdoors.
