Clara was here.

Hello all. I am so happy about tinsel time. I really want to hear Ms. Joyce's class sing 'do you wanna rock at the north pole'. I hope time flies like an arrow.

Regards,
Clara

My Vacation

Hi Mrs. Clark -

I went on a super vacation on Wednesday. I saw lots of temples there. We went to Cambodia. One temple was called Angkor Wat. The temples are almost 1000 years old.

Best Regards,

Max

Trip to a forest

On Friday I went to a forest in Singapore with my family. I saw monkeys. I saw a baby monkey hanging on to his mother. I am holding a big leaf. I saw a lot of trees. Some were very tall.

Best wishes,

Roller Coasters!

Today in Science we investigated the way that spheres (marbles) roll.

First we observed how they roll in a cup, and then we observed them on a runway.

We soon understood that one end of the runway needs to be higher than the other end to get the sphere to roll to the end. It was fun to make different shapes with the Foam runway and build bridges from table to table.

We then had a new idea! We joined runways together and made longer runways- this meant our sphere could travel further and that we could put bumps in our track.

Finally, we joined everyones runway together and made one GIANT rollercoaster that went from the top of the cupboard all the way to the other side of the classroom to the floor. Along the way, there were twists and turns and bumps. we had to hold the rollercoaster still so that our marble could make it all the way to the end- and it did!

COWS in the Classroom!!!

Two COWS came to visit us today and we were very excited!

COW stands for Computers On Wheels.

Mr. Kaye showed us how to use laptops in the classroom and we learned that:

• we must carry them with two hands



• we log on with a secret password



• we use our finger to move the cursor



• we can use laptops in the classroom for all kinds of things



• when we shut down we must wait for the screen to go black

Mrs. Clark was amazed at how quickly and easily everyone could use their own laptop.

Click here to see photos of us all using the Laptops.

We look forward to integrating the Laptops into classroom learning, and next time we will be doing a Science Investigation using the Laptop.

If you make a comment- Tell me what you liked about using the Laptop in the classroom.

Do you have a suggestion for how we can use laptops to help us learn?

.Show Time is coming!

Today we are going to start learning our songs for the Tinsel Time Show that we are going to perform on December 11th. We must learn the words and start to practice some actions.
We will wear Santa hats in the show!

Hi There!

If you are reading this then you have been successful in finding our Classroom Blog. Yeah!

Please make a comment or tell us about your weekend and we will read it together on Monday morning. You can post a photo too if you like.

Here is a picture of me and my family standing in the "snow" at Tanglin mall on Thursday night. It was so funny to see snow in Singapore!

Have a great weekend!

Love,

Mrs. Clark
