P4 Banded English 2009

Dear all,

1. You may use this tool http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ to help you with your 1000 Vocabulary book and any difficult words that you may come across.

2. Take a look at this video from Schoolhouse Rock on Adverbs.

3. I am glad to see that most of you are intrigued with our Unit 3 topic on "Dinosaurs and Fossils". I have included some websites and videos here for you to embark on a self-discovery journey. Have fun browsing them and do share with the class on what you have found out.

- Enchanted learning - http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/dinosaurs/

- BBC – Making Fossils - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/prehistoric_life/dinosaurs/making_fossils/

- BBC - Where to bury for fossilation to take place - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/prehistoric_life/dinosaurs/burying_bodies/


Take note : pterodactyles aint dinosaurs! And marine reptiles aint dinosaurs either.

4. Some more interesting facts of the marbled crayfish that we have discussed in class. It is the only crayfish in existence to be able to clone itself to reproduce. By the way, they are all females.

This is also very much in line with our Science theme for Term 2 - Cycles. Enjoy!

There is hope!

A very creative video done that was submitted in a contest by a 20 year old. It is simple and yet so brilliantly done.

The contest was Titled "u @ 50".
This video won second place. When they showed it , everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause.

My dear generation of the future, take some time to watch it and try to understand it.

Cheers!
