Vacuole in a Plant cell
CELL SAP VACUOLE
The cell sap vacuole in plants is much larger than animals. In plant cells the vacuoles are usually large and permament and have the same function. In addition to storing important substances, it also helps support the plant. The pressure of water filling the cell vacuole pushes out against the cell wall. This gives the wall enough strength to hold up fairly large green plants. We all know the first indication that we are not giving our house plants enough water. They start to droop or wilt. Now you know who, so keep that cell sap vacuole filled with water.

Our parents will nag us like crazy
Wish our results will look good
Done by: Yeo Shu Wen, Chen Qi Xuan
The sky is blue,

the toilet and has
woke up pooing.
From,
Clarisse, E huuan, Hui Hui, Riady
There was once a pokemon,
that turned into a digimon.
The lickatongue licks it's tongue,
and the tongue became lickatongue
and it became a littermon.
Group members ; Joddie, Yao Chen, Cassandra & Enoch
There was a superman,

Help needed
Dear children,
As part of the Use Your Hands Campaign, our class has to decorate our noticeboard with photographs of you and your classmates cleaning the classroom.
I have taken the photos and I need two favours from anyone:
1. To print the words "Use Your Hands Campaign" in colour and font size of 150.
2. To print out the photos in colour on a A4 size normal paper - I have 18 photographs so maybe 1 person can help to print one.
Let me know if you can help. Thank you!

that liked picnicking under a dam
when he started eating honey
the bees became angry
and started chasing him into a pig pen

Creative Creation!
We proudly present our limericks:
The deer that died in a cup
In the jungle I saw a deer
Its horns were stuck Oh dear
A lion puts it in a cup
And finished it in a gulp
The lion drank its blood like beer.
Created by: Vanessa Wee,Ong Kai Jie, Ong Tiet Gan
There was a woman from Perth
She didn’t want to give birth
When she was showering
Her baby started developing
And then her belly BURST!
