Was a couch potato when I was a kid. Now it’s starting to reap its rewards. I try to play games with my kids in class to get them interested in learning, especially for the P1-2s who may have a shorter concentration span. We’ve played games such as “wheel of fortune” and spelling bee. To[…]
I am a typical humanities student. I never had the flair for Maths and Science. If I did well for my Sciences, it was sheer hard work. In the good old days, we started learning Science only when we were in Primary 4. I remember my first CA well. I was very used to getting[…]

Due to the new classes, I have been talking to some interested parents recently and will like to reiterate the spirit of the Study Room for the pals who just got to know us. Wallace and I started Study Room because we love children and we want to help and we want to make a[…]
The mother called us a couple of weeks ago to ask about our English classes for P3-5 (i.e. students who are taking the new 2015 English syllabus.) She asked some very sharp and legitimate questions. 1. How do you know about the new syllabus when you are not a full-time teacher? I have friends who[…]

Telling the time from an analog clock doesn’t come naturally especially in this day when everything is digital. Here, I created three sets of cards. The first set would be “5 minutes”, “10 minutes”, “a quarter” etc. The second set would be “before”, “to”, “past”, “after”. The third set would be “2”, “5”, “9”, “noon”, “midnight”.[…]
I did this with my class a few weeks ago, to demonstrate that air takes up space. 1. Roll a small ball of tissue paper and stuff it about 1cm from the end of a straw. 2. Cover the other end of the straw with your finger. 3. Ask if the paper will get wet[…]
It’s a very strange feeling. It’s a very long week and there’s considerable amount of stress. Still, I am so looking forward to tomorrow when I meet all my kids. And I hope I can make a difference and help them improve their English. I am usually exhausted after my classes but the euphoria is[…]
A parent recently enquired about my Primary 1-2 English classes. As some of you may know, I have outdoor lessons for the kids to get them interested in the language. When we are in the classroom, I will like to brag that the syllabus are just as exciting. Here’s my reply to the mother. My class[…]
