Our Attempts to Conserve Water (3 Grace & Love) - Part 2

Hello all! I'm here again!

In the second part of the our water conservation projects, we have some very interesting end products! Permissions are obtained to broadcast all these video clips from the pupils themsleves, their parents and the school.
They are so natural and have shown so much potential in them. Many thanks to their parents in leaving a memorable print in both their children and my life.

Dear all, it's the time of the week where some of your work will be showcased here! I sincerely hope that all of you had fun doing the water conservation project with your family!

Teacher's Reflection

What was first planned to instill the importance of water conservation in my pupils turned out to produce more take-aways than expected. It is exceptionally pleasing to see pupils tapping on the opportunities given to them to go the extra miles in completng their task. The little ones are very motivated and are all willing to put their newly-learnt knowledge into actions. This is very encouraging and we, as adults, have much to learn from them!

Singapore Dance Week 2011 Bollywood Mass Dance by Aspara-Asia, Arvind Naidu

Hi folks,

I happened to come across this video clip which I could not resist sharing with all of you! Haha...
And... you are probably right, it does not really have anything to do with Mathematics except for the "short duration" of the song and the "number of dance steps" one could possibly count within the short video clip. :P

Anyway, let's just enjoy this and life is something more than just Mathematics! Enjoy!

Cheers... Mr Ang
