Dear Parents,
We have concluded the academic year 2011 w.e.f. today. Your child has completed his/her Primary One education and will be going to Primary 2 Flexibility next year. All the best to your child in his/ her endeavour.
Thank you for all your support and for working with me as a team to guide your child! Much appreciated! It has been my pleasure working with you this year! Thank you for being a good team mate!
Today, the children had received their report book, and Grammar book (Blue). Some pupils took it home earlier and didn't bring to school, so only those with the books continued with their learning and review of grammar.
They have also received their "Mega Rewards" to encourage them on their achievements thus far for the past 6-7 weeks this term, and at the end of the year. I have also used this opportunity to let every child know his strength and how they can further improve to be excellent. I hope this helps to direct your child towards developing to his/her full potential in the near future.
The children are to return the report books, the painted cut out and the holiday homework (A to Z) on Day One on 3rd January 2012. They are to report to the Mt Sinai campus then, and assemble in the hall on level 2. They have been shown the place. Instructions for the cutout are found in the printed info kit given to them in the zipblock bag. There is also an A3 white brochure with all the nec info. Pupils are to report by 12.35 pm daily.
Take care and I look forward to further opportunities in future to work with you:)
Have a wonderful day!
Happy Holidays for your child!

P.S. As this is the last posting on this blog this year, I would like to wish you and your family a very Happy 2012 in advance:)

An early posting for 15 Nov
Dear Parents,
Here's an early posting for 15 Nov, as tomorrow will be a very busy day for me as well. I will be explaining to the children about this tomorrow in class. Thanks.
This is what they will be getting:
(It shows a girl paying attention.)
The best way to do well in Primary One is to be always attentive. In this way, you will not only be able to learn much more in class, but you will also not miss out on wonderful opportunities to help your teacher if she asks for volunteers. So do remember, always be attentive. You won’t go wrong with paying full attention!

Dear Parents,
Thanks to the help of our Parent volunteers today for our Learning Journey, the children have enjoyed themselves. Thank you dear Parents who have volunteered today! Much appreciated! We couldn't have done it without you!
Btw, the children received the P2 booklist today. Please do check that they have brought it home. I have also given them a cap (with the word Singapore and the merlion on it) as a souvenir for the learning journey. I hope that this is a good gift for them to remember the trip today. We have also gone through the answers in class (for the worksheets).
As already informed by Mrs Nair in class on Tuesday and Wednesday, the children will be having their last Spelling tomorrow instead of next week. There is thus no homework today.
Party day is on Monday, so if you are helping, please liaise with Mrs Singh accordingly. Pl check the programme with her as I have already discussed with her accordingly.
Many thanks also to the 3 parents who volunteered as safety wardens/ road marshalls for the walkover to Mt Sinai on Tuesday afternoon! Much appreciated! Our Admin manager Bee Wah would be in touch with you accordingly as to when to report and who to report to. Mr Maliki, our Operation Manager will be briefing you as to what to do.
There will be class work - to enrich the children's Maths learning as well as Grammar as well these few days in class. I will be sharing with the children one last meaningful piece of homework that will wrap up their P1 for the year. I will tell them on Tuesday. I will post info re this on Tuesday as well.
For the walkover, the children will be given a info kit, with a wooden cutout and a brochure on Tuesday after the walkover. They are to decorate the cutout and hand over to P2 form teacher on day one 2012. Instructions will be in the info kit.
Fyi pl. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, we have gone through and reviewed the Maths Quiz and the children have also brought the paper home for your signature. It is to be returned on Tuesday for filing purposes.
In order to know how much the children have learnt for the whole year, for Maths, the children will be sitting for a Maths Review Paper ( for all topics learnt in the year) on Tuesday. Marks will NOT be counted. It is for review purposes and to gauge the readiness of the children in their Maths to attempt a full paper. I have already informed the children about it today. They will also be doing a Maths project on creating their picture graphs and questions related to the picture graphs on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the children will be doing a project on Rhyming words. I have already gone through and given ideas to the children by modelling it yesterday. Mrs Nair will be following up with them accordingly next week.
Things to bring on Wed (which Mrs Nair will inform the children) will be the same as that on Tuesday. On Thursday, our Learning Journey day, the pupils will be asked to bring along a small bag with a pencil box, fully filled water bottle that does not leak, snacks for recess (which does not dirty the surroundings), and a clipboard with attached pencil.
No homework will be given on Tuesday till Thursday.
For your information please. Thank you.

31 Oct (Additional information)
Dear Parents,
The children did a revision paper last Friday - that was the one I have marked in red and I've gone through with the children in class today. The children also did another revision paper today (before recess) and we have also managed to go through before dismissal - that was marked by the children in green - I have gone in detail with them to explain the answers(You may wish to add up the marks accordingly, as there was no time for us to do so today. Once wrong, there will not be any marks awarded.) These are past year's papers and thus they include topics that will not be included in tomorrow's quiz - but is a good review for the children so that they do not forget what was learnt. I have stressed more in my explanation for the four topics to be assessed tomorrow, namely Time, Money, Multiplication and Division.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today due to the fact that we had a fire drill (our first for the P1s), and only certain periods were allocated to me (due to timetable suspension today), we had a more challenging time completing our work but we managed to do all that we are supposed to do. Today, the children reviewed multiplication. We had also spent a lot of time briefing on homework and other matters on the handout given today. The children are given their plastic folder (with their Maths practical quiz, Spelling worksheet, as well as their writing quiz) and were told that these were to be returned next Friday. They were also given their Maths and English files to be returned next Friday for further filing. We will return the files on Friday again after the filing. We did not have time to complete more filing today. They were also given their blue Grammar Book back as well for revision. Some pupils have not completed their Grammar classwork, so they will complete as homework. We will review the rest of the pages done after all have completed next Friday.
Please be reminded that there is NO school from 17 Oct to 20 Oct. Pupils will return to school next Friday.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

We did not have time to complete more filing today. They were also given their blue Grammar Book back as well for revision. Some pupils have not completed their Grammar classwork, so they will complete as homework. We will review the rest of the pages done after all have completed next Friday.
Please be reminded that there is NO school from 17 Oct to 20 Oct. Pupils will return to school next Friday.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, the children will be doing their revision exercises in class, as well as Spelling.

Dear Parents,
All the pupils have completed their Maths Practical Quiz. Tomorrow, the time table will be suspended as the P2s are having their exams, and English teachers are deployed to invigilate in the earlier part of the school day. Thus the children will most probably be having MT lessons in the earlier part of the day. The timetable for tomorrow will only be out tomorrow, but not to worry, the children will still be doing their work in class tomorrow: a) Spelling (Week 5) b) English Review paper to practise as an assessment c) Maths Review paper to practise as an assessment.
Please do note that there will be an English Quiz on 24 Oct, on everything learnt thus far. We will return the files and Grammar Book again for the week long holiday for the children (during PSLE marking days). I will be away the whole of next week due to my PSLE duties ( including an extra cluster duty on Friday). I have arranged for the children to do revision exercises next Friday as well. For Homework, I will be arranging e-learning exercises for the children for next week.
Rest assured that learning opportunities have not be compromised, as during my absence, the children are all gainfully occupied, reviewing their learning via written exercises.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, the children will be doing an integrated project (involving English and Maths skills) in class today. Homework assigned will be all from Problemsums.com and Lead.com.sg. They are due end of this week on Friday. Please help to pace the exercises for the children so that they do not do everything all in one day. This will not be good for their eyes.
I will also be assessing the children individually from Tuesday to Friday in class from register numbers 9 onwards for their Maths Practical Quiz on Time and Money. Thus the children will be doing their classwork this week, while I am doing the individual assessment, and there would not be any written homework.
Things to bring (for the whole week)
- colour pencils
- green pen

Dear Parents,
We read a new book "Shark in the Park" today, as well as a lesson on Multiplication (learning about equal groups, multiplication = repeated addition (of the same number) , how to write multiplication sentences, and how to write a multiplication story).
We also took a long time to go through the Comprehension questions in the homework worksheets ( except the last worksheet so that the children can try on their own), stressing on how they can answer 'Why' questions - to answer directly but without "because".
E.g. Why was he late?
He missed the bus.
Although it is also right if the answer is " He was late because he missed the bus.", children will then to make mistakes by copying the whole sentence. Thus they are highly encouraged to answer directly in the correct tense and in a FULL sentence.
The children were also reminded not to 'lift' answers by copying word for word from the comprehension passages. They can choose to rephrase the sentences from the passage and answer according to the questions given. I have shown them how to do this for the first 3 exercises. I will go through their answers once again to remind them of the proper way of answering next week, when we review comprehension skills again in class.
Here's the homework and things to bring list:
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
P.S. I've explained the whole list to the class during a 10 minutes briefing. Including what to bring e.g. pictures of objects.

Dear Parents,
Today the children spent about half an hour copying things into the pupil diary. Homework was: English Worksheet (Whose Hooves) LS 27.4, LS 27.5, LS 27.6 and Grammar Cloze Worksheet. Some students had done some of the worksheets in class so they might not have to do all 4 worksheets. They are to bring this set of worksheets to school tomorrow. The children are also to complete the Maths classwork (They were given 45 minutes in class today but some could not finish - to create a booklet - to create the cover page, and illustrate by cutting and pasting given amounts ( I actually gave 3 examples in class, but if they wish to create their own amounts, it is okay.) For each page they are to put e.g.
Cut and paste 2 $10 notes and a $5 note and they must colour the notes as well. At the bottom of the page, they are to write $25
25 dollars
twenty-five dollars
That will complete one page. They are to do at least 3 pages. No maximum limit depending on the time given.
They are to bring it back tomorrow.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
