• How does a computer work?
• How are mountains formed?

• How are crystals formed?
• How is honey made?
• How does a submarine work?
• Why do tsunamis occur?
• Why do some things float while others sink?
• Why do living things need food to survive?
• Why does iron turn rusty when left in open air?
• Why do we have earthquakes?

Answer key to practice paper & Important Updates (5 Joy and 5 Hope to read)

Dear children,

Please find the answer key to the questions I have highlighted in class today. I will explain them to you in detail after the paper. Please try to make sense of the answer key on your own. Yi Zhong, I have photocopied your answer on the number pattern to share with the class as it was well presented:) I have written some notes to help you in your understanding. Leave a message in the chat box if any.

Here are some important things to note on Monday.

Your recess will be from 9.30 am to 10 am. 

Paper 1 is 50 min and will start at 8.00 am. The total marks for Paper 1 Booklets A and B is 40 marks. Use of calculator is NOT allowed.

Paper 2 is 1 h and 40 min. It will start at 10.15 am. The total marks for Paper 2 is 60 marks. Please pace yourself well and manage your time. Use of calculator is allowed. For word problems, please draw lines to separate your page into two as always. This will give you extra space to work out if you get your first few answers wrong. Do not waste time to erase your answers with correction tape. Just leave your answers there even though they might be wrong as method marks will be awarded. DRAW MODELS where necessary. It is the most effective way.

If you are stuck at a problem, circle and move on first. Come back later. Do not waste too much time trying to reach the answer when you could have made up for the marks doing 3 to 4 other questions which YOU CAN DO.

Bring your calculator and geometry set!

Please remind all your friends to read this page. This is what all of you have been working so hard for. I am so proud of you :') All the best, you can do it! I will be rooting for you!

Love,
Miss Lee

Dear children,

Please find below the answers to the revision worksheet. Please check and re-check your paper tomorrow. Highlight all the key words in the questions. Draw arrows pointing to the clues and use the PTPT for reported speech. Avoid careless mistakes where you will lose unnecessary marks. The rule card is not allowed in the during the exam. If you have any questions, do raise your queries in the chat box and please help one another out.

All the best! Believe you can do it and you will soar:) I'll keep you in my thoughts!

Much love,

English Paper 1 (Monday, 5th May)

Dear children,

All the best for your Paper 1 on Monday!

Remember that paragraphing is of utmost important and if you have chosen to write narratives, remember to STRETCH YOUR PROBLEM. Use F.A.T A.R.M to help you. Describe everything in detail with your five senses, do not just focus on what you see. What you feel and hear is extremely important too. NO contractions allowed unless in direct speech. Do not forget.

For Situational Writing,

Remember to use the PRAFT strategy and sign off with complimentary closing. End off your situational writing with a proper conclusion. DO NOT re-order the points in case you miss them out. Tick off once you have written them. NO contractions allowed unless in direct speech. Do not forget.

Good luck! Have faith and believe that you can achieve great things:) I believe in you and this is the time to put all that you have learnt to the test. Remind your friends to check the blog too for the reminders when you see them:)

Love,
Miss Lee
