It was another fascinating session in the chemistry lab for our secondary students, exploring the building blocks of our universe. The lesson delved into the intricate structure of the Periodic Table, turning what can be a daunting chart into a logical puzzle. 

A brilliant, insightful question from a student about the ‘gaps’ between element groups sparked a fantastic discussion about chemical properties and patterns. To put theory into practice, a student was then invited to the interactive whiteboard to draw the electron shell configuration of an atom. By actively engaging with these complex concepts, our students develop a much deeper and more memorable understanding of science.

Our primary students had a brilliant time diving deep into the nuances of storytelling during their English lesson.

Together, they are learning how to analyse a narrative by identifying its core components: the characters, setting, plot, problem, and solution. Through these engaging class discussions, students strengthen not only their reading comprehension but also their critical thinking and inferential skills.

Thoughtful contributions from the students showed a real understanding of the narrative’s key events. It was fantastic to see them actively participating and sharing their insights on the characters and events.
