Cikgu James: Happy Chinese New Year 2010

Cikgu James in SK Cator Avenue Ipoh was here to wish you all have a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year in this Tiger Year 2010. Happy and please enjoy your long holiday. Don’t forget to give me ANGPAU !!

Cikgu James’ Art Project In School

Today during the art subject, I bring the boys to the hall in Tahap two to do the art project.  I give them each one a piece of white paper, and then I ask them to fold the paper to become a small plane. After that, the boys must test fly the paper plane to see whose plane can fly the highest. The winner will get a present. I will also give point base on their plane decorating or coloring. So hopefully they can try their best to do this art project. Thanks again to all my boys for having fun doing this project.

Celebrating Hari Raya In Malaysia

After a whole month of fasting, the Muslim community in Malaysia celebrates ‘Hari Raya’ with joyous family gatherings and open houses. Join in the merry-making and taste the delicious traditional Malay favourites such as rendang, ketupat and lemang.

Have a safe journey back to kampung. Do not drive when you are tired. Have a coffee at Petronas station and take a rest if you need too. And finally, don’t play self made fireworks. Is dangerous! Teacher don’t want you all to get hurt. Wish you all enjoy your holiday and “Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.”  OK. Bye and take care.

1 MALAYSIA = 1 NATION

1 Malaysia, which PM has mentioned several times the past few weeks, emphasizes national unity and in his speech at the ceremony to disburse funds to Tamil schools, PM sounded remarkably like a reformer for race relations as well as a re-conciliator.

He said that two things were key in the 1Malaysia concept – mutual respect and trust among the different races in Malaysia. “Mutual respect is not just tolerance,” he said.

“Once trust is developed, Malaysia will be the sum total of all races. We will not be moving as separate communities but as one Malaysia and we will be stronger. It will be a new Malaysia because we’ll change our mindset because we trust and respect each other. I hope all will join me to bring Malaysia to greater heights.”

Primary School Science Experiment

To a child, doing an experiment means ‘doing something to see what will hapen‘. During the experiment, we change an object, an event or a situation to examine the result of such change in a controlled situation. Experimenting is an integrated science process skill because it requires basic skills such as observing, classifying, making inferences, predicting, measuring, communicating, as well as using the relationship between space and time.

Therefore, experimenting is more suitable for older pupils. Nevertheless, investigative experiments can differ in degree of difficulty. With guidance, even young children can carry out experiments that are simple.

Many teachers mistakenly consider all hands-on activities as being experiments. In truth, an experiment involves tow criteria:

1) The children need to have an idea of what to test. Because of this, they change an object, an event or situation for certain reasons. The act of forming an idea and testing it later is called making a hypothesis.

2) The children should change only one varibale at a time. If necessary, they should compare results when a varible is changed and when it is not. This skill is called controlling variables.

In primary school science, an investigation is considered an experiment if it involves changing an object or a situation so as to compare results with when no change is made.

• An area of forest equal to 20 football or rugby fields is lost every minute.
• We are losing Earth’s greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth’s land surface. Now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.
• One hectare (2.47 acres) may contain over 750 types of trees and 1500 species of higher plants.

Adakah kamu peminat setia Wonder Pets?

Wonder Pets ialah sebuah siri animasi keluaran Amerikan Syarikat yang muncul buat pertama kali pada 2006. Mulai 2008, Wonder Pets telah dialih bahasa ke bahasa Malaysia di TV9. Wonder Pets telah dicipta oleh Josh Selig.

Watak-watak utama Wonder Pets ialah tiga ekor haiwan peliharaan, iaitu Linny the Guinea – Pig (tikus belanda), Turtle Tuck (kura-kura) dan Ming-Ming Duckling (itik). Mereka bersatu menjadi tiga wira yang menyelamatkan haiwan dalam kesusahan sambil menunjukkan manfaat nilai bekerjasama.

Animasi ini bermula dari filem ringkas yang berjudul ”The New Adventures of Linny the Guinea Pig,” di mana Linny mengembara ke angkasa lepas dan lautan bersendirian. Kemudian barulah tercipta watak Ming-Ming Dukling dan Turtle Tuck. Dari situ, lahirlah Wonder Pets! Menariknya, kebanyakan dialog di dalam Wonder Pets dinyanyikan. Itulah keistimewaan Wonder Pets. Cikgu James sangat suka dengar dan menyayi lagu Wonder Pets, saya harap murid-murid saya juga suka menonton Wonder Pets. Sekian terima kasih.
