Pasir Ris Park Outing

We went Pasir Ris Park yesterday morning with Dorothea & hubby, Jansen & Jaren, Meng Ai & hubby, Choong Yin & Ying Yi, Sudha & hubby, Surya and Ilakya. We had fun cycling (rental at $5 per hr, free 1 hr), playing cards & iPads, swinging in playground and chatting. It rained at about 12.30 pm and we proceeded to lunch at Whitesands' Kopitiam foodcourt. After more chatting (adults) and iPad game playing (kids), we left at about 2.30 pm.

Year 5 Semester 2 Progress Report

Lim Jeck's Year 5 Semester 2 results are as follows:

CL5102 Chinese 5B B-
CM5106 Inorganic and Electrochemistry B+
CS5102 Data Structures and Algorithms A+
EL5101 Language in Society II B
PC5201 Physics Olympiad V A+
PC5401 Calculus-based Mechanics I A+
PC5403 Calculus-based EMM I A+

Semestral Grade Point Average (GPA): 4.1
Cumulative Average Point (CAP): 4.4

Chinese: Lim Jeck is determined to do well in Chinese and works hard for it. Time is needed for him to raise his foundation to a higher level. To improve further, he needs to practise more on developing his reading and writing abilities.

Inorganic and Electrochemistry: Lim Jeck is an intelligent yet quiet individual in class. He is consistent and takes pride in giving his best in all he does. He has been more interactive in class this semester. Keep up the good attitude!

Data Structures and Algorithms: Lim Jeck is a motivated self-directed learner and has displayed high aptitude in computing.

Language in Society II: Lim Jeck has made a marked improvement in his presentation skills. He is an industrious student who can better his English by reading extensively. Lim Jeck should also continue with his efforts to contribute in class.

Physics Olympiad V, Calculus-based Mechanics I, Calculus-based EMM I: Lim Jeck is one of the most intelligent students in class. He does not take long to understand a concept, and is excellently able to apply it immediately. His strong background in Mathematics helps him to secure the best result almost in every test.

Boarding Cluster Mentor's Remarks: This year at Boarding has given Lim Jeck many opportunities to connect with others. He has a very sharp and analytical mind which is seen most often in our social encounters within the cluster. He is able to connect and integrate well with the cluster mates, especially in the context of playing indoor games. he has developed many community living skills which were clearly displayed in how he served the cluster by being part of the team that kept the cluster pantry in good condition. He participated and represented the cluster in the inter-cluster Chess Tournament. He also actively participated in the many cluster outings and celebrations conducted throughout the year. Lim Jeck's potential for the future will be greatly enhanced as he puts into practice the community living skills he has learnt in his time at Boarding.

Mentor's Remarks: Jeck is a well-behaved student with a quiet disposition. An exceptionally bright student with highly commendable talent and ability in Mathematics and Computing, Jeck has exhibited strong competencies in his academic studies. He is also willing to lend a helping hand to his classmates and hence, well-received by his peers.
Conduct: Very Good

Basic Cell Biology: Lim Li is a cheerful and outgoing student who puts in good effort for this module. She possesses the potential for greater performance that is achievable only if she gives herself the chance to nurture her potential interest for the subject. Keep it up!

Chinese: Lim Li is a quiet but determined student who is always doing her best. She needs to improve on her tests scores to maintain her standard. She may need to reflect and work on her weak areas.

Foundation Chemistry I: Lim Li is a friendly student who is able to articulate her views clearly. She is independent in learning and shows consistency in her results.

Science Presentations: Lim Li puts in good effort to prepare for her presentations and is a good team player. It would be good if she can practice more and put in more passion when she presents.

Developing Language and Literary Skills II: Lim Li demonstrates a willingness to improve for this subject. She is intelligent and has the potential to do well in the language if she reads more widely.

Identities, Histories and Societies: Lim Li is a promising student who diligently does her work. She is also an integral group member who participates actively in group activities.

Foundation Mathematics II: Lim Li is a talented student who is able to grasp new concepts readily. She puts in efforts to improve on her carelessness and has attained good results through the semester. Lim Li is encouraged to be more meticulous in presenting her workings.

Advanced Mathematical Olympiad Training III: For a year 1 student doing a year 3 course, Lim Li has done an excellent job.

Foundational Physics I: Lim Li shows respect towards teachers and peers and has a cheerful disposition. She will ask relevant questions to build on existing knowledge and does not hesitate to seek clarification where necessary. She is a consistent and highly-motivated student who is serious about doing well in her studies.

Mentor's Remarks: Lim Li is a bubbly and outspoken girl. She is naturally inquisitive, bright and able to learn new concepts easily. With focus and opportunity, she has the ability to excel in her Mathematics and Sciences. It would be good if she can be more meticulous in her work.
Conduct: Very Good
