It has been 3.5 years since I last taught Science. Nevertheless, I think my previous experience has compounded dividends. For my remedial class today, I went the extra mile to seal a piping hot cup of cup noodles inside a ziplock bag. Thus lay an authentic opportunity for them to think about how water vapour turned into water droplets - an explanation process that can come across as so convoluted that this teacher came up with the mnemonic WCLCW. 😅
I also brought in two cups of ice cubes - one crushed and the other uncrushed. But I left them for too long, so they couldn’t really see how the crushed cubes were melting faster than their uncrushed counterparts.
Anyway, I don’t know about my students, but I applaud myself for bringing in real-life phenomena into my classroom.
Dear Mr Goh
I am writing to request that Yishun Primary School invite Michael Nash to our school.
Michael Nash’s professional basketball achievements have truly astounded the world. Since he and his team members will visit Singapore from 1 to 10 October, I believe that inviting him to our school will inspire our basketball team to play better. He is a magnificent role model for us to emulate.
I suggest that you invite Michael Nash to our school on Monday, 10 October. Yishun Primary School has been the top primary school team for three consecutive years, so he is likely to be keen to impart his experience to young enthusiastic players like us. On that day, basketball teams from five schools will participate in the annual combined schools training, so I think he will be delighted to speak to a wide audience. This way, his presence will be more impactful.
Ahmad, Bala and I promise to keep our school hall clean and tidy on 10 October. We will do our best to keep our school flag flying high.
I hope you can consider my request.
Yours sincerely
Gary

Kathy went to take her place at the running track. When the teacher blew the whistle, she shot off as fast as she could down the track. Suddenly, Kathy tripped and fell to the ground. Her shoe, which was a little oversized, flew off her foot.

Heartbeats in the Dark
drumming, wrinkly old man, attic, eyes glint in an evil kind of way, glare, shadow puppets, loomed over, suffocating, yanked the curtains open, reckoned, weather, independent
I sit up. I cannot breathe because the dark is so black it feels like it is suffocating me. I stare at where I know the curtains are. I tell myself that the sun is blazing on the other side of the curtain.
