Class cheers

Hi everyone,

We created class cheers today for our FTGP lesson and Velociraptors managed to come up with such a catchy cheer. They followed the tune of "One Thing" by "One Direction". Watch them at the link below.

Want to know what they were singing? Here are the lyrics:

Come on, come on, never give up at all.
You can do it, just try your best!
Well done, well done you get an A*.
Just keep it up and you rock! x2

Another group, Ankylosaurus, came up with this cheer, following the Gangnam Style song. Have fun watching!

Super 4A style

Super 4A style! 4A style! I wake up every morning and change into my uniform.
I brush my teeth and eat my delicious breakfast.
I go to school. And then I go to 4A and sit down on my seat.
I do my homework and "Good" went my teacher.
Well done, you get A*, You are Hey! excellent. Hey!
The teacher praised you, praised you, praised you, praised you...
Super 4A style! Super 4A style! Su su su su Super 4A style!
Su......You got A* Su su su su Super 4A style! (x2)

Our amazing butterfly

Hi all,

Our very first butterfly emerged from its cocoon today and began flapping its wings during our Science lesson. What an apt timing!

We then released it at the butterfly trail during recess. Hope it will be able to call the trail home.

Happy New Year!

Hi Class 4A!

Welcome back to school. I am happy to announce that I will be your form teacher in 2013!

Did you have a good holiday? Excited to start school again? I am sure you are curious to find out more about the teachers who will be teaching you this year and how your new timetable will be like. Don't worry, you will find out soon enough as I will be giving you your timetable on 2 Jan 2013, our first day of school.

Wondering what books to bring? Don't worry if you don't bring much books on the first day as the teachers are more forgiving.

So see you tomorrow all bright and cheery to start a new school year!
