Optical Illusions - M.C. Escher

I'm sure you guys had noticed the many pictures of optical illusions hanging on the staircase of the Science Centre. I find these optical illusions very intriguing and it really is a feat to be able to draw them. You can check out this URL http://www.mcescher.com/ to see the many works of M.C. Escher, whom I believe is the creator of this form of art.

Simply amazing!

What Went Wrong?

The smoke and ashes from the battles of SA1 has almost settled. Lives, blood and tears had been shed and lost. The victors of these battles are apparent.

However, does it matter now?

Is shedding further tears of anguish the only thing we can do at this moment? Is it time for further whining and complaints about how the whole world is at fault except ourselves?

What I want to say is, time to do some self-reflection.

Ask yourself the following questions for each subject. Give your most honest answers and please do not compare with your friends. It is YOU whom we are talking about.

• Are you happy with your results?
• Why?
• Can you improve on it?
• What went wrong?
• For each of the areas that has gone wrong, are you able to work on some solutions to solve them?
• Are those solutions possible or practical and more importantly, within your abilities?

If you have done well for this exam, I congratulate you. If you have not, please do work on the solutions to improve them. Regardless of your subjects, all the teachers will help you if you are sincere about improving and are willing to let us help you.

It takes two hands to clap. While the final battle 'PSLE' is about 5 months away, it is still not too late to 'lick your wounds' and 'train up'.

For those who are still sleeping or are in 'La La-land', time to wake up . Let us help each other through this important year. IT CAN BE DONE!

Final Exam Tips and Reminders

Mathematics

• Go through your worksheets, test papers and exam practice papers.
• Avoid silly mistakes of not writing your units or not checking your work.
• Take no longer than 25min to do your MCQ, no longer than 35min to do your Section B. Allocate about 60min to do your problem sums and the remaining 15min to check your work.
• Check your work and keep on re-checking until the last minute of the exam.

Science

• Go through all your worksheets, test papers and textbooks.
• Spend no longer than 45min for MCQ and leave about 40min for your Section B. Spend the last 20min to check your work.
• Be careful with spelling mistakes as it will cost you half a mark each!
• Always write your answer such that it is clear and the marker need not come back to ask you for any clarification. That is, make your answer 'foolproof' whereby anybody (without any science knowledge) who reads it knows what you are saying!
