How our lungs work

 

Can't get enough of our lungs? Here's more. 

Lungs & Respiratory System

With that, do compare your lung model (group work) with the actual human lungs again.

Draw up a comparison table to list the similarities and differences.

Have fun!

Recap what you have observed for the celery stalk last Wednesday.

What can you say about the tubes? Food-carrying tubes (phloem) or Water-carrying tubes (xylem)?



Another observation of the Water-carrying tubes? Do they overlap?

Infer what you have seen and what you have just learnt from the video/links above.
Hopefully these will help you in your correction before I see you again on Tuesday.

Love,

Possible Story Ideas (The Journey)

Hi children,

After the Gallery Walk, I hope you have gained more ideas for your Draft 1 - The Journey!

Collated ideas from the different groups



 Choose an idea and plan your story using a plot diagram.
Then, with all the features of a narrative planned out, you may start on your Draft 1 of writing.

Do remember to develop on your content! The ideas shared are just the trigger. You need to develop the plot further such that there is a problem followed by a climax.

Can't wait to read your 1st draft!

Love,

REAL news: Ideas for your writing on "The Journey"

Hello 5 Integrity,

Have you been following the local and world news closely?
Hint: Public Transport

Do read on to find out more; alternatively, you might want to refer to your newspaper issued earlier on. It's on the front page news headline, you can't miss it!

Make use of the vocabulary words and you may want to incorporate these words as well as other ideas in your story plot!

First up, news close to our home:

1) 3 April, Monday: HOUGANG MRT Station - Sealed off for 20 minutes

Police arrest man, 39, for leaving bag unattended at Hougang MRT station

Man arrested over Hougang station security scare

2) 4 April, Tuesday: Russian Subway Blast

St. Petersburg metro explosion: At least 11 dead in Russia blast

Russia attack: Police hunt two suspects

 

Reading these news make me appreciate the importance of staying vigilant at all times as well as not taking safety for granted. We all have a part to play to keep ourselves safe.

What do you think?

Here is another piece of news from quite a few years ago.

Cycle of Strife

However, I think the issue on "Road sharing" between cyclists and drivers is still not really resolved. I do think Singaporeans need to show more tolerance to one another. After all, at the end of the day, we all want to be safe for ourselves and loved ones.

Hopefully these real news help motivate you to find out the happenings around us as well as keep your creative writing juices flowing! Have fun planning!

Love,

Ms Yeo
