Performance for Total Defence-cum-Rainbow Day 1

I would like to congratulate 4A for a good performance put up. I enjoyed your performance & I hope the audience did as well. I'll put up the video once it's ready.

I'm also glad that everyone behaved well with myself in the control room and not with you.

I would also like to thank all the parents who helped source for the props and Malcolm (4A) and Issac (4B) for the loan of their toy gun/ rifle.

It was slightly after 4 am in the morning, when the Japanese dropped the first bombs on Singapore. People were awakened by the sounds of explosions.
The audience ...
On 15th February 1942, the British surrendered.
Singapore was renamed Syonan-to in Japanese, meaning ‘Light of the South’. This was the start of the 3-and-a-half years under Japanese rule.
The people suffered and lived in constant fear.

But we did not give up trying
The war finally ended on 15 August 1945 when the Americans dropped 2 atomic bombs on Japan.

Thai visitors



We'll like to welcome the Thai visitors to our school, especially the 3 students who joined Class 4A for the week.

Our New Class Pets: Mealworms!

We are learning about animal life cycles for Science.

Task: Each group was given some mealworms to care for. The challenge is to keep the mealworms happy & healthy so that they'll grow up and reproduce.

Questions:
~ What do you think mealworms will grow up to be? Will the adults look like the mealworms?
~What do mealworms eat? Do they need water? How do they get their water supply?
~What is their natural habitat? Do they like to live in cold & dark or bright & warm places? What kind of containers should you use to rear the mealworms?
