I forgot to remind all of you to bring along a thermometer.

If you are holding a re-entry permit card, please bring along too.

Dear 6/6ers,

Please bring the following on Monday for my safekeeping:

1) Passport
2) Malacca Trip Booklet

You can fill in your White Card with the details you know.

Destination in Malaysia: BAYVIEW HOTEL

Vehicle No: NOT TOLD YET...will only know on the actual day.

Some of you who have to take public transport to school may wish to seek help from classmates who live near you...If it's not too troublesome, ask whether their parents can pick you up on 6 Nov at a convenient point because you have to report school by 6 am and public transport may not be operational yet (unless you take a cab)

Help one another out okay...that should be the 6/6-spirit.

By the way, pack YOUR OWN bag EARLY.

You are old enough to do the packing.

Don't get your maid or parents or siblings to pack for you and be caught in a situation when you needed something and you do not know where it is tucked.

Calling home to ask the 'packers' where they kept your stuff doesn't reflect well on you.

Thanks, Evonne, for the nice flashy icon...and thanks Kim Yao for your blog greeting as well (so I was told...)

All right, another day well spent!
After the dragonboating, brace yourself up for another healthy activity on 3 Nov.
We'll be going for a hike at the newly opened Henderson Waves and HortPark (Hort = Horticulture = about plants). Gotta build up your stamina before your trip to Malacca!

Yours Truly

I hope you've benefitted from today's fair
and gained new insights into secondary school life.

I have forgotten to tell everyone just now that we have to distribute leaflets
to the nearby HDB flats (door to door) tomorrow morning, telling them that we'll be collecting newspapers.

All P6 pupils will be involved in this activity.
Briefing will be done tomorrow morning.

Hi sixsixers,

As mentioned in class today, please download and save a copy of your Strengths Record. Type the information into the template and give me the printout on Monday or Tuesday.

NOTE: The onus is on YOU to provide me with accurate information for your result slip. Request for changes made after the printing of the result slip will not be entertained.

Due to oversight, I did not give you the consent form for the factory tours today. As such, please print out this CONSENT FORM FOR THE YAKULT/SUNSHINE FACTORY TOURS and get your parent to sign. Give me the print-out on Monday.

Kindly remind your classmates about these 2 documents.

REMINDER: Here are the things you need to bring on Monday -

1) A photocopy of your passport particulars
2) Science Booster
3) My books if you are holding on to any
4) Sharity Envelope (with or without $$)
5) Newspapers for the recycling project (Briefed by Miss Yvonne)
6) A storybook to keep yourself gainfully occupied

Gordon, please remind Marc of ALL the above.

Ms Chan just rang me up for a really good reason.

Remember this question?

The diagram below shows a portable water container holding 800cm³ of water. The capacity of the container is 5000cm³.

When the tap of the container is turned on and off, 400cm³ of water is collected in the bottle. What is the final volume of air in the container?

1) 4200cm³
2) 4600cm³
3) 5000cm³
4) 5400cm³

Remember?

Volume of air = amount of space it occupies

After pouring out 400cm³ of water, it is left with 400cm³ of water in the container right?

THUS, the space unoccupied by the water left in the portable water container is 4600cm³ (5000cm³-400cm³) since volume of air = amount of space it occupies.

Please pass this around before the exam tomorrow. (by Ms Chan)


However, there's a completely different scenario. DO NOT confuse this with the above question.


A basketball started with 500cm³ of air. I pumped in 200cm³ of air to the basketball. What is the final volume of the air in the basketball now?

1) 700cm³
2) 500cm³
3) 300cm³
4) 100cm³

Those who said Option 2, 500cm³, you are absolutely right!

In this case, the equation 'Volume of air = amount of space it occupies' is also logical, because the air inside occupies the fixed space in the basketball, which is 500cm³. Please help to pass this around. Thanks!

Hui Ping's revelation about my 'Die' draft entry sounds very sinister...so I thought I'd better clarify myself in case you guys think I'm raining some curses on the exam.

I read some of your entries for the past couple of days and this word 'die' kept appearing...

C'mon, if it's so easy to die, then the world won't be so overpopulated already. And I would have een dead two decades ago.

Take each exam as it comes confidently if you have done whatever you can to equip yourself for the battle. If you've done your best and that's what you get, I don't think there should be any regrets unless you have been slacking diligently (I love this ironical phrase I coined) in the past. If you think you haven't done too well, make sure you try to minimise the damage by harnessing your 'energies' for the next few papers.

And finally, for many good reasons, I can't post any comments on the current exam.

All the best again for the next two to three papers.

Ms Chan

Gd luck 4 tmr chi paper

Labels: school

Hmm.. this one gordon teach one.

4km/h divide 1km = 4
60minutes divide 4 = 15minutes
15min - 5min = 10min
10min --> 1km
60mins --> 6km/h //

The running speed is 6km/h..

Labels: school

ermmm. how to do the 2nd question?

OMH

Labels: school

Do the ratio method la.. Cos Gordon did the gap method that I dun understand...

Since the distance is the same,
and they gave you the speed....

You know what to do??

How to do the dispatch rider qn 2 posts ago?

Labels: school

240km and 6km/h respectively..


Ping

Labels: school

hi may i know the ans to these two questions?

A dispatch rider has to deliver a parcel from City J to City S by a certain time. If he travels at an average speed of 96km/h, he will arrive at City S 1/3 hour (20mins) late. If he travels at an average speed of 90km/h, he will arrive at City S 1/2 hour (30mins) late. What is the distance between the two cities?

Ah Meng walks to school at an average speed of 4km/h everyday. One day, after walking a distance of 1km, he realised that his watch was slow. So, he ran at a constant speed and managed to reach the school just on time. Later, he calculated that if he had run at this speed right from the start of the journey, he would have reached school 5 minutes earlier.What was his running speed?

I'm just guessing, not so sure....

LCM of 6 , 7 , 8

with 6 ending up with r2, 7 with r3, 8 with r4

6-2=4
7-3=4
8-4=4 so I guess in order to get that remainder, it is necessary to minus
