Had a good break?

Hi all,

Did you have a good break? I know that I did.
School will be reopening in about a week's time and it almost time for the pupils to revise their Semester 1's work. It would be good to look through the files and books that were returned as Semester 2's work will be an upwards spiral of Semester 1's topics. (which means concepts are more or less the same for some topics but numbers get bigger. In Term 3, it will be number to 40).
Do look through some of the earlier post for the games/activties. It will be a fun way to revise your work.

Graphs in action

We started on the graph topic for both the P1 and P2 pupils after the SA 1 paper on Maths was completed.

We did quite a few activties on the topic on graph and our lesson on m & m was captured and converted to a video.

Ordinal Numbers Shots

Look what we did for Ordinal Numbers.

LSM Room over the Years

In my school, LSM began in 2007. The room has undergone through many transformations over the years.
One of the key features of the room, is that it is an interactive and engaging room. The things on the wall and floor are not a show piece. It is used as a teaching tool which can be seen in the various videos uploaded.
Pupils also use the materials on the floor to reinforce the concepts taught.
Well, why don't you see the video of the transformation yourselves.
