photo blog

Well, they say a picture depicts a thousand words.
I love photography, it's one of the hidden hobbies I have.

This blog is created especially for my students, Secondary One students from Pasir Ris Crest Secondary.
I want to make Geography not only fun, but as interesting as it can get.

Who am I, you may ask.
I'm Ms. Tan.
Who are you?

This is how it works:
1. Snap a really awesome picture (no cheating okay!)
2. Email the picture to me, Ms. Tan, at ms.nat.tan@gmail.com, along with a short paragraph explaining why you took the picture, or the story behind the picture. (Do remember to state who you are photographer, and what class you're from.)
3. Wait for me to upload it for you.
4. Share, by comments, or the tagboard.

Thus, happy snapping :)

Other rules:
1. Please preserve the copy write of any picture.
2. Snap the picture YOURSELF, be the photographer, not a ripper.
3. No Profanities in the comments.

Happy Teachers' Day! 9:25 PM

Dearest students of mine.
You know I love you lots!<3 Thank you for all your greetings, cards and presents, I will treasure them, really. Thank you for being part of my very first special Teachers' Day.

It was so embarassing to get on stage, but for those who did not hear what I said it was: "Thank you all my Sec one kids, I love you all." :)
[edit]
The Games were so awesome too. I didn't expect to play so well either. :p I love games a lot! Captains' Ball was a bit of a flop, the teachers lost both games. But came to volleyball... WE OWNED! hahaha :p so sorry yeah. But it was great playing, goodness me. :D hopefully I can get the video of the game. I want to see my unglamness. LOL.

Happy Teachers' Day! :D



P.S Tomorrow's lesson is at 9am, bring your activity book if possible. Also, the test is on unit 4,5 and 11.

Saturday lesson 6:47 PM

ANNOUNCEMENT:
1. Saturday lesson is CONFIRMED, at 9am. priority to 1/2 and 1/3. will be going through maps and other questions you might have.

2. I have issued out consent forms to some classes. 1/8 and 1/6 has not recieved it yet. Please go home, sign it, return to me on Saturday please.

3. To the spammers, and the people that use my name, I hope you are ashamed of yourself. You have no respect for me, much less yourself. I do not appreciate some of the comments made, and I'm genuinely hurt. I'm considering removing the tagboard if this continues.
To the other students: if you know who are spamming some of the disgusting notes, please come and tell me. Or you could tell the fella to stop it.
Thank you.

4. Oh,oh. No holiday homework. Go enjoy yourselves during the holidays, but remember to study. You'll have one test when you come back in the Sept holiday, one when school reopens, another the week after, and prolly another the week after. Then the grand finale, which would be end yr-exam. All will be counted for CA2. Relax, can one. :p

Darwin, NT 7:22 PM

Singapore Sunrise
This was the awesome sunrise of the Tuesday I was going to go.





PHOTOS OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA
Clouds

The clouds there, never end to amaze me.



White Flower,
I like this very much how it turned out. This flower was in my Aunt's garden. Yeah, they've got gardens there.




The Beach,
the beach there in Darwin is different.



Red Rocks
This is sedimentary rocks. How I know? look at the layered appearance! It was this rock that I brought back some specimens home.





The Sands,
Other then the Red Rocks, they've got sand like this:
there's smooth sand,


or rough looking sand. This rough looking sand only looks rough thanks to...


...these guys. :) The crabs dig little holes and the sand that is dug up is on the beach as litte balls.




Shadows in the Sunset
My friends in the Sunset.



Mommy, Help Me
Not my friends, but I like how it turned out.





Down at the Wharf
the Wharf is a really cool place.



I like seagulls in actionn :)


I happen to see a red moon there, how awesome?

The Cars there have funny number plates:
yes, they do.




That's all folks.
Time for Dinner.

Powerpoint Slides - Unit 5 6:20 PM

Hello! :)
Second day back, :)
Sorry 1/5 for today :(

Anyway, just this for today;
Presentation for Unit 5.
For the other classes that I have not gone through Unit 5, I'm going to quickly print the worksheets, then you look through yourself, and do the worksheet. I won't mark the worksheets. I'll concentrate more on the important topics, like Weathering/Erosion and Rocks.


Loves,
Ms.Tan
P.S, I won't have time to upload my holiday pictures as yet :(

Powerpoint Slides - Unit 6 10:15 PM

Hello students! :)
Here's some help for you while I'm away!


Unit 6 - Environments Through Pictures
Anyway, for your second lesson without me, you would have already done this topic. So I've just uploaded my slides for your reference. What you should have in the end of this lesson is a flow chart or note of some sort on Unit 6. You should have done Assignment 9 as well!
