THE CHRISTMAS BASH

Hello one and all, Our exams and the Christmas Bash have come and gone. We could really feel the spirit of love, share and give that very night of the Christmas Bash. The atmosphere was awesome as we caught up with our sporty parents and students who have finished their O Level and end of term exams. I remember an hour before 4pm, we were still busy getting things in order. Especially of the food, presents, cutlery, decorations and simply everything that we could think of. Our preparation started to ease when people started making their appearance. It was all very exciting for the students as they see the classrooms and all decorated overnight. It has been yet another transformation since the Honsween Party. The party had everything from munching hearty food, singing, laughing, pulling the Xmas crackers, cutting birthday cake x 2, writing out Xmas messages, opening up secret santa presents to snapping photos away. As we learn and play together at Honsbridge, we have made Honsbridg

As we break up for the term break , i feel that everyone has contributed in their own special way to make this term so memorable. At Honsbridge, we found ourselves becoming a closely knitted family outside home. Students show their affection and encouragement for one another with bear hugs and jokes. Now that Christmas is here, parents and students are bringing Christmas decorations and presents to Honsbridge to share with everyone. It is such a joy to see everyone sharing, loving and giving in their very own way even if it is just a smile. Above all, students are prepared to be serious when work is expected of them. You can tell some students are so focus in doing well for their exams that they will be quitely revising on their own, while others are chatting away waiting for exam to start. Stud

Cambridge O Level Physics Revision!

Image
Dear Physics students, For those who have registered their Cambridge O Level Exam at the British Council. Your Physics exam is just in three weeks time. If you have not gotten a copy of the Exam timetable, please find your time table here As I was doing revision on Electromagnetic induction with my class. My pupil, Joshua showed this torch to the class. I am excited to share with everyone who is learning this topic for the exam. In the diagram, it shows the application of Faraday's Law. That is when you shake the torch so that the magnet moves in and out of the solenoid. By Faraday's Law, an induced current is produced in the solenoid which is the coil of copper wires. The current induced could therefore power the torch in the absence of a battery or conventional power source. I hope this application of electromagnetic induction helps you picture the principle better. Students who face difficulties in understanding the concept of electromagnetic induction, normally fail to unde

Business Studies: How can businesses grow?

Image
GCE O Level/ IGCSE Business Studies: Business Expansion There are several ways to grow a business. A business can expand through 1) horizontal merger, 2) vertical merger or 3) Conglomerate merger 1) A horizontal merger is when a firm merges with or takes over another one in the same industry at the same stage of production. 2) A vertical merger is when one firm merges with or takes over another one in the same industry but at a different stage of production. Vertical integration can be either forward- when a firm integrates with another firm that is at a later stage of production, or backward- when a firm integrates with another firm at an earlier stage of production, ie. closer to the raw material supplies. A conglomerate merger is when one firm merges with or takes over a firm in a completely different industry, also known as diversification. Over the weekend : New Discovery Last weekend, I have discovered this stall that offer yummy-licious little pancakes located off PJ paramoun
