18 Sep - Science Supplementary Lessons with 3-Caring

During my Science Supplementary lessons, my pupils were grouped into small groups of 4 or 5. They were given a word splash worksheet. I showed them a list of questions with a missing blank for each question. My pupils had to find the correct word/answer from the word splash worksheet. We had a lot of fun. :)

17 September - Pictorial Comprehension

During my English lessons with 4 Respect pupils, I did a pictorial comprehension with my pupils. As the comprehension passage is about volcano with many abstract vocabulary such as "mantle" and "magma", an illutration of these parts would be clearer for pupils to understand.

12 Sept- Motivating P6 Pupils in Art Lessons

As the P6 pupils will be taking their PSLE soon, stress level could be rather high for them. Hence, during the Art lessons on 12 Sept, I decided to get my pupils to do a motivation card for themselves to boost their morale. The art lessons were conducted in the school canteen. Pupils created "footprints" by using their clenched fists. Next, I wrote down some examples of motivational quotes on the whiteboard for them. Each pupil had to write down a motivational quote for themselves. To make this Art lessons more interesting, I told them to write well-wishing messages for one another. Hence, pupils are able to motivate each other. In this way, I am sure that their level of confidence and motivation would be greatly increased. :) Good luck to our P6 pupils in your PSLE examinations!

10 Sep - Science Supplementary Lessons with 3-Caring using IT and group work

On 10 September, we had a cooperative group activity using an exercise from the Science Workbook. As my pupils have learned about the 5 main human systems, each of them is assigned a system whereby they would go to the noticeboard to copy the function of the system. After that, they would share their answer with their group members. For the next activity, each group was given a worksheet with pictures of different organs from our human systems. They had to predict and discuss the given organs and write them in the blank spaces on the worksheets. After ensuring every group had completed their discussion, I showed them a flash animation from http://www.sciencenetlinks.com/interactives/systems.html. Pupils were delighted to participate in "placing" the organs into the body of the cartoon man. It was certainly an enjoyable supplementary lessons for us. To reward the pupils for their group participation, each of them was given a delicious and chewy gummy candy. :)
