Dear Parents,
We have completed the syllabus for the semester. While there are two activities that have not been completed yet, we will complete them and the revision booklet concurrently.
The coverage for the exam is as follows:
P4:
1) Life Cycles
2) Matter
P3:
1) Diversity (Plants and Animals)
2) Interactions (Magnets)
The pupils can also improve in their answering technique for examinations. Most structured questions require a two part answer of cause and effect. An example of this is as follows:
Q: Why didn't Joseph place his seeds in the sun?
A: Because seeds do not need sunlight.
The answer above is inadequate in providing information that fully answers the question. This answer does not fully illustrate why the answer is correct. A more appropriate answer would be as follows:
A: Germinating seeds do not require sunlight as the seed leaves provide the necessary nutrients for growth.
The key concepts have been highlighted for you in bold.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Mr. Chan
