The list included a wide range of items, from football shirts and Labubu dolls to instant noodles, the latest iPhone, and smart TVs.

💡 This activity helped students practice:

  • Note-taking and memory skills
  • Online research and comparison shopping
  • Basic budgeting and arithmetic

The student with the lowest total spend was crowned the winner—showing great attention to detail and smart shopping strategies!

📖 Grade 5 English : The Time Machine by H.G. Wells 🚀

This month in Grade 5 English, we’ve been reading The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. Even though it was written way back in 1895, it still feels exciting and full of big ideas. The story took us to the distant future and made us think about how people and society might change over time.

We’ve also been learning about metaphors and similes. For example, Wells compares time to a stream and the future to a dark corridor. These literary devices help us understand complex ideas in a creative way.

Talking about these techniques has shown me how powerful writing can be. A metaphor or simile can help turn confusing thoughts into something clearer and more interesting.

As we keep reading, I’m learning not just about the story, but also how to think more deeply and write with purpose. The Time Machine isn’t just a science fiction book — it’s full of ideas that make us ask questions and imagine new possibilities.

🌿 Grade 5 Science: Exploring Photosynthesis

As part of our Grade 5 science program, students explored the fascinating process of photosynthesis — how plants make their own food using sunlight!

Using a simple experiment with a leaf, dish soap, baking soda, and sunlight, students observed how plants absorb light and release oxygen. This hands-on activity brought textbook science to life and helped students see biology in action.

🔍 What We Learned:

  • 🌞 Sunlight powers photosynthesis
  • 💧🌬️ Carbon dioxide and water are used to make food
  • 🌬️ Oxygen is released as a byproduct

This activity was not only educational — it was fun and full of discovery! It sparked curiosity about the natural world and encouraged students to think critically about how living things interact with their environment.

Experiencing science firsthand helps students build a deeper understanding of the processes that shape life on Earth.

Stay tuned for more exciting experiments and discoveries from our science lab!

🎮 Grade 4: Minecraft Education, “Good Game”

This week in Computer class, our Grade 4 students took part in a unique learning experience through Minecraft Education with the interactive world called GOOD GAME.

This game-based lesson focused on responsible online behavior and digital citizenship, teaching students how to:

  • Balance responsibilities by completing real-life chores before earning computer time
  • Recognize and respond to negative online behaviors such as:
    • Griefing (destroying others’ work)
    • Spamming (flooding chats or actions)
    • Cheating (using unfair advantages)

Through engaging gameplay and thoughtful scenarios, students learned how to stay safe, be respectful, and make smart choices when gaming online. The activity encouraged reflection on how to deal with difficult players and how to maintain a positive gaming environment.

It was a fun and eye-opening way to build awareness about the challenges and responsibilities of being a good digital citizen, both in and out of the game!

📸Take a look at our students exploring, learning, and leveling up their online behavior!

Grade 4 English: Research Project

Today, our amazing Grade 4 students took a deep dive into the lives of two inspiring figures, Albert Einstein and Amelia Earhart.

As part of their English lesson on biography writing, the students researched key facts, achievements, and life events of both historical icons. The goal was to help them understand how biographies are structured, how to include meaningful details, and what makes a person’s life story truly memorable.

Working in pairs, they explored online sources and videos to gather important information, developing their skills in note-taking, summarizing, and organizing ideas. By learning about the brilliant mind of Einstein and the daring adventures of Earhart, they also gained a deeper appreciation for the qualities that make someone remarkable.

This activity not only helped students recognize the features of a great biography but also served as inspiration for writing their own autobiographies in the coming weeks.

Well done, Grade 4, you’re on your way to becoming fantastic writers and researchers!

Grade 3 Science : Exploring Our Teeth

This week in Science, our Grade 3/7 students took a closer look at their teeth! ?

We learned all about:

  • The difference between adult and child teeth
  • The shapes and sizes of different teeth
  • The names and functions of each type of tooth (incisors, canines, molars, and premolars)

Students had a hands-on experience using mirrors to examine their own teeth and identify which ones are still growing in or missing. We also explored a model of the human mouth to better understand tooth placement and structure.
