Please take note that the retest will be done next week in the afternoon after school. I will come to your class and inform you when the test will be.

You can check this site to help you understand better.

Look at the basics of map reading 1 and 2, they provide good material.
As in regards to a post here, the badge is 5.5cm in diameter. In your group, design a badge on a piece of paper and write a summary of about 100 words explaining your design under the design itself. The top group will win a prize and a grand prize among the other top groups in the level.

I also understand some of you have problem understanding what to do for the competition. Essentially, you have to design your badge or poster with regards to Earth Day. The theme of your design can vary from the 3 Rs, reducing pollution, protecting our ecosystem, conserving our resources or anything that helps the Earth.

If you are in doubt, post again, but state your questions clearly, I cannot understand brief statements.
Bad news and good news! There is now 2 competitions that you have to compete in. The first is making the 'Save the Environment' badge logo and an A4 poster on Earth Day theme. The good news is that the dateline has now been pushed to 2nd April 2007, Wednesday in the first week of April for both of them.

The requirement for the Earth Day Competition are as follow:

1. Get into groups of 4 with a minimum of 3 members (this is for classes with odd number of students)

2. Using a piece of A4 paper for both your competition entries.

3. The size of the badge design should be 5.5cm in diameter. (Diameter has been changed) Write a short passage of about 100 words describing your choice of design below the badge design and include your team members names, class index and class.

4. The poster must be done on an A4 size paper and it must be based on the theme of 'Earth Day'. Ensure that you place your team members' name, class index and class at the back of the paper.

5. Staple your work together and submit it to your respective Geography IC by 2nd April 2007.

A big sorry to everyone, I have been sick the past week and I haven't really been updating my post as of yet. Anyway, like to point out a few important things for all of you.

Firstly, in the new set of worksheet I handed out, please skip page 3 all together, it is too hard.

Secondly, on page 2, draw a line across the slope on the top right hand corner of the map and label both ends with 'B' an 'C', this is for question 3 on the same page.

Thirdly, I will be covering mainly chapter 5 for the remedial and again I stress it is mainly for those that had failed in the previous common test.

Now some of you might be also wondering why your grades in your report card with that of your common test, it is because I had to add in your class test results and that lead to the change in the final results.

Finally, I would like to extend a warm welcome to my blogging committee, but I am still missing out on 1F and 1G bloggers, could someone in either class please volunteer, as I have some activities for you all to do.
