Junior 3 Show and Tell

Dear Junior 3 parents,

I have given the students their Show and Tell topics. We will be doing show and tell next week, not as listed on the weekly info page. Students are working in pairs/groups etc. They do not necessarily need to bring their COMPLETED show and tell on Tuesday because it might be a problem for some to meet up during the weekend to finish it off. So on Tuesday’s lesson I will give the students time to work on their presentation in class (like sticking the information and pictures they have found on charts etc.) They will however need to bring the information on Tuesday in order to be able to complete their work in their groups.

Thanks,

Ms Michelle

Topics to study for exams

Dear Parents and students,

Many of you have already started thinking about exams so I am posting the list of topics to be studied for the forthcoming exams which concern J4, J5 and J6 with regards to Science. Students will need to study the notes and handouts they have on their project books and the relevant completed pages in the Science workbook. I have updated the student’s project books with a list of the notes that they are missing. I have already instructed the students to look through and obtain any notes they might have missed.

Junior 6 topics:

Dissolving, Filtration, Melting and Boiling, Insulation, Proteins, Micro-organisms, Roots, Flowers, Seeds, Acids and bases, Seeds that travel, Forces, Electromagnets, Special circuits, Salty circuit and all the experiment report sheets related to the topics covered.

Junior 5 topics:

Blood, Muscles, Teeth, Reflection, Condensation and clouds, Rocks, Elasticity, Vitamins, Flowers, Classification, ocean ecosystems (to be done), periodic table (to be done), units of measurement, graphs and charts, Earth and Moon (to be done).

Junior 4 topics:

Teeth, Reflection, Optical Illusions, Temperature, Soil, Wind, Metamorphosis, Forces, Magnetism, Static Electricity, Chemical reactions, Elasticity, and the Solar System (to be done), Animal Types Animals J4 HO (Click on the link to download a handout regarding this topic which was covered a while back and which is not in the students’ project book – Thanks.)

NB: I have checked the students project books and individually written which notes are missing in each and every students’ project book. If the students have missing handouts (maybe they missed some if they were ill) they are to request them off me. I have also asked the students to copy any missing notes they might not have from their fellow students. I will be scheduling revision lessons in which I will try as much as possible to have the students revise topics for the exam whilst checking again that the students have indeed obtained their missing notes and giving them the opportunity to do so if they haven’t yet done so. Please encourage the students to look through their project books as I am continually reminding them to do. Thanks.

Science Challenge Day – a great success!

Dear Parents and students of J4,5 and 6,

I would firstly like to thank you all for your support and cooperation. Today’s science challenge day was a great success. The students all had lots of fun, learnt about science and worked as a team. I’m sure it was a great experience for everyone. I am uploading some photos of the day for you to enjoy

Science Challenge Day – update

Dear Parents and students,

Tomorrow is the big day. The students should have already brought all the things they needed for the Science challenge day. If they haven’t please make sure they are delivered to the junior staff room where I am keeping the boxes with the things the students are bringing by tomorrow morning before the bell rings!

Students will also need to bring a small nominal fee of 50c on the day. Don’t forget that no school books, but the students will need something to write with. PE kit all day long!

Let’s all enjoy this science experience we have worked so hard to prepare for our students.

Many Thanks,

Ms Michelle
