Term 2/Week 6 Exam Preparation

Hi Sportyones,

How prepared are you for the exam that is just around the corner. If you have not been paying attention in class and doing your work consistently, well there is still time to pull up your socks. Below is an extract from a MOE phamplet that tells you what to do. Read and reflect on it.

Before exams
1.Develop good study habits
Pay attention during lessons.
Hand in your homework on time.
Revise your work daily.
Ask your teacher if you don’t understand.

2.Sleep, eat, exercise, drink plenty of water
A healthy body makes for an alert mind.

3.Study smart
Know the exam format.
Prepare a study time-table and follow it.
Make time for rest and play in between study.
If you feel too stressed, talk to your teacher, school counsellor or parents.

During exams
1.Stay calm and concentrate
Read all instructions carefully.
Read all questions before you start.
Do the easy questions first. Write neatly.
Check all your answers before handing in your paper.

2.Believe in yourself and do your best

Cheers,
Ms Lee

As usual to help you with your journal writing, here are some questions below:'

1. Why do we celebrate International Friendship Day?
2. What does ASEAN stand for?
3.What is your knowledge about ASEAN?

Love to read your reflection.

Term 2 / Week 3

Hi Sportyones,
Last week, Mrs Nam spoke about the loss of things during CCA in the school. She invited the CCA leaders to come up with suggestions to solve the problem.

So this week, I would like you to think of ways to improve our school. It could be the improvement in the field, toilets, classroom, canteen, library, art room, computer lab and other facilities or the people who provided services to you such as the office personnel, teachers, book shop lady, school bus drivers and even the cleaners.

Think of ways to improve anything that will make the lives of pupils better. As usual here are some questions to guide you:

1. What or which aspect/s of the school do you like very much? Why?
2. What or which aspect/s of the school do you think you dislike? Why?
3. What do you think can be done to improve it/them?
4. What other areas of the school should be improved?
5. How can pupils help in the improvement of the school?

These questions are just a guide to help you start writing. I love to also read and know your own ideas, opinions and suggestions..

Cheers,
Ms Lee
