UPDATE for Revision Paper 2:
Q29) Answer should be 3h 55 min. Thanks for pointing it out.
Q 26) The answer is 1 1/10.

38) Aminah's red beads - 24

39) 5/9
40) Yes, No, No, No

41) $1.20

42) 1/5 + 7/10 = 9/10
(a) 9/10
1 unit-> 6
10 units -> 60
(b) $60

43) 1.45 x 2 = 2.9
4.2 - 2.9 = 1.3
Ans: 1.3km

44) 7 x 4 = 28
length of larger area -> 7 + 2 = 9
breadth of larger area -> 4 + 2 = 6
9 x 6 = 54
54 - 28 = 26
2
Ans: 26 m

45) 3 x 2.50 = 7.50
23.10 - 7.50 = 15.60
1.40 + 2.50 = 3.90
15.60 ÷ 3.90 = 4 (there are 4 groups of 1 pen and 1 pencil)
4 + 3 = 7

Ans: 7 pens

Using Guess and Check:

Number of Pens Number of pencils Total Cost Check
4 1 ( 4 x $2.50) + (1 x $1.40) = $11.40 x
5 2 ( 5 x $2.50) + (2 x $1.40) = $15.30 x
6 3 ( 6 x $2.50) + (3 x $1.40) = $23.10 ⁄





Thanks for putting extra effort into your work!
I will post the answer key for Science Section A tomorrow!

Our Class Photos

Here are some photos that were being passed around last week... I guess most of you have already placed your orders.














I'd do another post on composition writing again tomorrow. Meanwhile, study hard!

Its or It's?

When do you use its or it's?

It's always a big problem and you can see this everywhere! If you happen to have a can of Ayam tuna in your cupboard, go take a look at it. I think there's a slogan on the can, something that goes along the lines of 'tastes good on it's own'.

Every time I have tuna for breakfast, the English teacher in me cringes because it's supposed to be 'good on its own'!

Lesson for today:
it's -> it is

For example: It's a hot day! (It is a hot day.)

its-> to show something that belongs to a thing or an animal.

For example, the dog has brown fur. Its fur is soft.

Imagine the sentence being read as 'tastes good on it is own'. Doesn't make much sense now does it?

On a side-note, we wrote limericks today during CCA.

Some of you are really talented at it!

Here is one rather nonsensical one I wrote.

There was once a teacher named Ms Toh,
Who slept near her sister's big toe.
"Don't kick me in your sleep!"
"Alright, I'd try not to flip."
But alas, she did and gave Ms Toh a big blow.

So... challenging Math problems anyone?? *huge grin*

Hello!

Hello everyone!

Gosh, it really has been a very very long time since I've posted anything. After a few of you asked, 'Why aren't you posting anything???' I've decided I would do a little entry tonight.

Firstly... here's a loud helllooooo going out to all of you loyal blogders who've been reading the same few entries and happily tagging me on the tagboard. :)

Alright... on with the actual entry.

We had word introduction today and Beatrice introduced 'haemophilia' to us. I knew it had to do with blood because of the 'haemo' bit, but the actual meaning really eluded me, and the class as well. We were all about to give up when Doel sauntered into class from the watercooler and very coolly said, "Oh, haemophilia. I know the meaning of that word."

He proceeded to tell Beatrice the answer and at that point, I think we were all pretty flabbergasted. And it turned out to be the correct answer! The entire class broke into applause for Doel. Heh... that was quite exciting. It was such a close shave; if he'd been at the watercooler a while longer, Group 3 would have gotten 10 points!

Later on, Clemence introduced the word 'ubiquitous'. Thankfully I knew the word this time round. The clue he gave to the class was "Trees are ubiquitous" which makes perfect sense when you know the meaning of the word.

To the rest of you who haven't introduced words to us yet:
Please feel free to stump me! :)

I shall have to do some work now. I'd see everyone tomorrow!

In case you're interested, haemophilia is a condition where the blood cannot clot normally. This means if you get a cut, you would keep bleeding from it.

Ubiquitous simply means being everywhere / can be seen everywhere.

Chat Box Rules

Here are some rules about writing messages in the chat box:

1) Do not write anything private (like your home address or telephone numbers) because it will appear to everyone who is reading.

2) Be nice to each other online. This means you can't scold or write nasty things about your classmates. I'm glad everyone's been very nice so far, so keep it up!

Well, I've thought of these two rules so far.
Do you have any other rules you want to add on to it? Write in the comments at the bottom of this post!

Poetry Recital!

It's been a while since I've posted something...

Here are some of the pictures of the people who presented their poems last Friday! We did our poem recital together with 2 Ignatius pupils. It's a pity all their jellyfish poems were not facing the audience though. Here's a picture of Amira doing a reading of her poem!

I thought she was really brave to read her poem on the stage!

Xuan Wei did a beautiful acrostic poem for his jellyfish and Franchesca volunteered to read his poem for him. Unfortunately, her arm was blocking her face when I snapped this picture.

Finally there's Mark who wrote a lovely shape poem on snakes after reading "Rumble in the Jungle".

The recital was over in a jiffy but I had a good time listening to some really funny poems! I couldn't help bursting into laughter after listening to Edwin's (2I) poem on McShrek. It was about his Pokemon Kracks that were cracked.

I'd post up pictures of more poems once I finish hanging them up in the classroom.
