Strength and hope

I would like to share with you the photos which I took on Mon and today.

Strength - look at how the birds build their nests behind the speakers in the school! The strong will to thrive in an urban jungle.

Hope -Rainbow after the rain today. A better tomorrow?

Project work and Common Test

I will be quite busy with the project works for Sec 3 and Sec 1 - 25% of their SA1.
The first group for the Sec 3 has to present their project which is to present a lesson on Singapore healthcare system in 2 weeks' time. I will have to vet their work next week.This will be followed by the British healthcare system in 9th week and the reasons for the conflict in Sri Lanka in the 10th week. There will be 3 more group presentations in the first 3 weeks of next term. Common test 1 is also on for the next 2 weeks.... stress...stress.. stress...

As for the Sec 1, they would also have to work on it soon. They would have to draw a map (with scale and legend) and do a powepoint presentation as well on their selected neighbourhood. I have advised them to look at the streetmap available online for reference:

Service Learning with 3N2

It was really not an appropriate day to go for service learning at the centre today. It seemed that there was a performance earlier on and the MP was an invited guest. The room which the physiotherapist used to brief the students was packed with the catered food and some of the staff were busy clearing it. He was not able to show us the exercise machines which the elderly used. It must be a busy day for the staff and I think we have really chosen the wrong day to do our CIP. We had to cut short the time as the senior citizens have to go back early. I think 3N2 is also not adequately prepared either though some did try to interact with the elderly.
