To 1E1, here's the picture that you guys wanted :) It's not very clear though...

Thinking about it, i kinda missed your class constant chattering only to be broken my stern SILENCE!!!!

Hope to teach you guys again next year!

History Murals Discussion

Hi 2E1 & 2E4,

These are some snapshots of 2E1 deep in discussion for their HISTORY project.
Or should I say, only some of them... heh


Oops, don't get me wrong! It's not that 2E4 has not done anything! In fact, some groups in 2E4 have done so much more except that my camera always fails me whenever I try to take a snapshot of them (",)

On another note, I'm already missing some of the student councillors who had been attached to other schools. Nonetheless, it's great to have new students in the class as well! A huge shout-out to Isaac (2E1), Aneesa (2E1), Zainab (2E4) & Wei Jie (2E4). Welcome to Greendale!!!

The Japanese Invasion of Malaya

Hi students, after watching the Battle of Midway, lets enjoy this video on the Japanese Invasion of Malaya.


Mr Syed

1942 Battle of Midway

Hey all, before we learn about the Japanese invasion of Malaya, lets take a look at Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. The entire video is divided into 6 parts which will take around 1hr 10min. However if you have the time and would like to learn more about the history of World War 2, you gotta watch them (",)

Part 1/6


Part 2/6


Part 3/6


Part 4/6


Part 5/6


Part 6/6


Hope you enjoyed the videos,
Mr Syed

A New Beginning

To all the newly recruited historians,

Allow me to extend my warmest welcome to my History abode!

Well.... Just so you'd know, this is our excavation site - it is here where we communicate, share our ideas and thoughts about the past.

It is here that we revisit the past as well as put on our thinking cap to assess every single of our actions - to determine whether Man has learn from their mistakes?

Or are we just about to discover a sad truth in life - will History repeat itself?

I'll leave it up to you to decide as we endeavour to tread this long historical trajectory of the Singapore story!

To my dearest 2E1 & 2E4 - we have at least 5 months together! Lets make the best out of this time :)

Always there,
Mr Syed

* trajectory refers to journey

Bring 2B pencil for your History exams!

Good luck for the paper this Friday :)
And spread the word around -
Everyone must bring a 2B pencil to shade your MCQ on the OTAS sheet.

Last Minute Sprint...

Don't get me wrong!

I hate last minute work BUT due to the incessant number of holidays looming the past few weeks, I can't help it but to squeeze a make-up lesson for both 1E2 & 1A3.

On a brighter note, that means it's one more extra session with me, hahah :)

Let's get straight to the details!

For 1E2
Date: 05 May 2009 (Tue)
Time: 2.15 - 3.15pm
Venue: 1E2 classroom


For 1A3
Date: 06 May 2009 (Wed)
Time: 2.15 - 3.15pm
Venue: 1A3 classroom


Aside from these sessions, in case anyone have any questions, including 1E1, please come and see me either on Wed/Thurs after 3pm.

Till then,
it's a final sprint to the end :)


Love,
Mr Syed
