Plant parts & its function

Dearest beloved children,

Do go back home and revise on stem and leaves.

Although leaves have different edges, textures and shapes but they all have the same main feature - a stalk, edge, blade and veins.

Blade : flat and broad portion of leaf

Stem : support branches and leaves of plant so that they could get as much sunlight as possible.

Plants need light, water and carbon dioxide in order to make food. The process is known as photosynthesis.

Plants take in carbon dioxide through tiny openings called stomata found on the underside of leaves.


Also, here is a website on the different shapes of leaves for your general information.

http://theseedsite.co.uk/leafshapes.html

Do enjoy.

Please start revising your P3 and P4 Science for your upcoming SA1.


Love,
Mrs Yang

Connectors

Dear children,

Today we learnt about connectors.

1. as, when, while, before, since : are used to express time/sequence

Eg. As Mother prepares the soup, please cut the tomatoes.

2. yet, still, however : are used to show contrast

Eg. He has won the championship. Still, he is not happy.

When we join 2 different ideas using yet or still, we add a comma in front of the connector.

But when we use however to join 2 different ideas , we add a comma before and after the connector.

Thus please try to use connectors in your essay writing.

Thank you.

Lots of love,
Mrs Yang
