Thank you!

Dear children,

Thank you for the lovely surprise last Wednesday. Initially, I really thought that there was no one in class. Upon stepping into the classroom, everyone just appeared and greeted me with a 'Happy Teacher's Day'. I must say, I was really heartened. =)

Thank you for all the presents, the cards (I love cards!), the food, the red pens, the flowers and most importantly, for being such great children. Even though you can be rather naughty at times, quite noisy many of the times, lazy sometimes, inattentive and untidy at times...

Ms Zhou loves you all the same!

Fun with tessellations

Dear Hardwork

Do you run away from 'hard work' or do you embrace it?

  This is a tricky Maths question that Karishma shared:

      Each girl has 7 backpacks.
     In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
     For every big cat, there are 7 little cats.
     How many legs are there in the bus? (Not the wheels)
        Can you answer it?
