As this is a new batch of students graduating from PSLE, I would need to spend at least 5 school days to assess their learning behaviours and learning needs.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">As with all of my classes, I would normally issue out a small vanguard card where they would pen down their personal/learning likes/dislikes. If it is possible, I'd like to get them to do up a wikipage for themselves (Reference: http://ict-course.pbwiki.com/) so that any teacher/student can attain have access to it whenever I have created a wiki account for collating my students' English lessons at http://englishatnorthland.pbwiki.com/. Hopefully, I'll be able to arrange for at least two students to one computer.

Considering the ten weeks I was with them during Semester 2 of 2008 (1EA2), a brief analysis of their learning needs/class profile are as follows:
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Prefer hands-on activities
