COLLECTION OF WORKBOOKS AND FILES

2008-05-27T17:48:00.001+09:00

Dear class

Your workbooks and files are ready for collection. I believe Courteney has singlehandedly carried all the books and files up to your class! Please thank her.

Mr Khoo

IMPORTANT: LESSON SWAP

2008-03-24T23:45:00.002+09:00

Dear class

Please note that your Geography and Literature lessons this week will be mutually swapped.

This means that your Geography lesson is on Thursday while Literature will be on Friday. Remember to bring the correct books on these days.

Please understand the rationale for this arrangement as we have missed Last (Good) Friday and this Friday I will be on course.

Also, please hand in your Geog WB a.s.a.p.

Geog Holiday HW

2008-03-13T01:01:00.003+09:00

1) Geography WB 4.2-4.5
(I hope I got the numbers right, anyway complete all the worksheets on Agriculture, except the first one)

2) Mindmap on Agriculture
- please do this conscientiously, it will help in your revision

The holidays are half-gone! Enjoy what's left. =)

CA1 matters

2008-03-02T01:11:00.003+09:00

CA1 Weightage
Test - 80%
File - 10%
Workbook - 10%

At least 10 students did not hand up their Workbook, as of Friday 5pm.
Only 1 student (Nathaniel) did not hand up the File.

These students will not get the 10%; I have been very clear in my instructions, no excuses will be entertained.

Thanks.

Announcements/Reminders

2008-02-13T09:31:00.001+09:00

1) I have just distributed the answers to Topical Test on Settlements.
Don't worry if you could not answer all of them correctly; I assure the test tomorrow would be easy (as long as you have studied your text and followed my lesson)

2) Map reading skills will also be tested - so revise your 4 or 6-figure grid reference, compass bearing, scale etc.

3) You may use a calculator if your mental Maths ain't good. =)

Good Luck!
