Re: 28 Feb 2011

Dear Parents,
Apologies as Problemsums.com seem to have access problems for some pupils, and when questions in exercises are updated, unfortunately the original scores of some pupils are deleted. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

By the way, Spelling this week will be this Friday as the pupils are going out on Thursday for their learning journey. Mdm Aidilawati will be accompanying the children, assisted by Mrs Nair and 6 wonderful parent volunteers (facilitators), as I am sent out for a briefing. I will be briefing the children and the facilitators just before the trip.

Here's the information for today:

28 February 2011

Homework on 28 February 2011:

-         Library Worksheets 1 and 5 (Due tomorrow)

-         Please note that due to the fact that there is access issues for some pupils for Problemsums.com, I will be extending the deadline for completion till end of this week (Sunday 6 March).

Things to bring on 1 March 2011:

-         Unread English Story book

-         Colour pencils

-         Maths Coursebook 1A 

Thank you. Have a wonderful day.

Information given on 25 Feb 2011

Dear Parents,
We had a good Book Day experience today and thus their homework will consist of writing in their journal on their experience. They are to describe what they have seen and done and to let me know which they enjoy the most. All journals are returned today for this piece of homework.
For Maths, they are to go to Problemsums.com to do their practice online. They are to do all the exercises assigned, except for the Enrichment exercise which is voluntary. It consists of more difficult questions for those who want to challenge themselves.

Things to bring on Monday
- Unread English Story book
- Small whiteboard, duster and marker ( some pupils' markers do not work and I had to loan them mine which means difficulty for me to write on the board as I have to 'borrow' it back from them) , thus I am emphasizing on markers that can be used.
- A4 size blank paper - 3 sheets ( for activity on Monday)

For your information please. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Information for Parents on 23 Feb

Dear Parents,
Today, there is no written homework. Pupils just had to learn their Spelling for Week 8, get your signature in their spelling book (already given to them to bring home, and to bring back tomorrow) and to prepare for their writing exercise in class tomorrow. They have already done the writing of "My Favourite Animal toy" as homework in their writing book previously. Now I am giving them time tonight to review at home as they will be asked to do their writing in class tomorrow, on their own. We will then be able to know how they will fare in their writing. This informal bite-sized practice is meant to help us chart their progress in their writing and I will be informing you of the outcome in due course, along with other bite-sized practices done for the next round.

Tomorrow, I will be away for a cluster meeting in the afternoon, and I have already informed the pupils. The Relief Teacher would be doing the following with the pupils:
a) Spelling (in their Spelling book - Please do remind your child to bring his/her Spelling book.)
b) Writing Practice in class ( My Favourite Animal Toy)
c) Maths subtraction stories (template and example printed and will be given - in brain gym book)
d) Penmanship
e) Silent reading (when they have finished their work)

Mrs Nair will continue to assist the class and assist the Relief Teacher.

Tomorrow, 24 Feb, there will be NO homework assigned. All work to be done on Thursday will be classwork.
Things to bring for 25 Feb will be their favourite story book, pencil case and colour pencils.

Please be reminded that on Friday 25 Feb, the pupils would be dressed in their favourite book character. Please refer to the post regarding Book Day on 25 Feb for details.

Thank you. Thanks for working with me as a team to support your child!
Have a wonderful day!

Book Day on 25 Feb 2011

Dear Parents,

We will be having a Book Day for all P1 pupils on 25 Feb Friday. On that day, all pupils (including teachers) will have to dress up as their favourite book character. Pupils need not wear their uniform that day. However, please do ensure that they are wearing something that is comfortable for sitting and for the whole day. The purpose is to celebrate reading and that day, there will be a parade in the Hall (for representatives already chosen to go on stage), and I will also conduct a mini parade in class for them. They are also to bring their favourite book to share with us and we will start putting leaves on our reading tree in class (which records the title of books read by pupils) on that day as well. Time table is suspended that day and I will most probably stay with them the whole day, except for Mother Tongue lessons. It will also be Reward Friday for them that day. We hope that it will be a fun and enjoyable day that day for the pupils, to reinforce the fun of reading.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Message from Ms Ow Yeong

Dear Parents,

I've given your child a plastic holder with the following today:-

Cover letter with my assessment of their learning attitude, attentiveness and participation thus far to provide further update to you.

English - Reading record, and show and tell feedback (with peer evaluation attached)

Maths - Topical Quiz 1 (Basic), stapled with Topical Quiz 1 (Advanced) - pl sign for both

          - Topical Quiz 2 (Basic)

 

During the children's written classwork today, I was only able to meet some of the pupils individually to go through what I have written and to do corrections and do re teaching if nec. I've already told the children that for those who did not get to see me personally ( I would like you to see the info and since tomorrow there is no school, I have to issue them to the children at the end of the day to be brought home.), I'll go through with them on Monday. These children can attempt their corrections if any, and I'll go through personally with them on Monday.

 

Please note that these assessments are to track your child's learning and not counted as "marks". It is merely developmental and informational.

 

By the way, for access to Problemsums.com, I got the children to copy the log in and password (which is their BC number - the same for both their log in and pwd) on the homework list (shown below). This is the first time the children are accessing and thus if there are any technical problems, do let me know.

 

The jotter book (with lines) returned is the writing book I am referring to in my homework list. It was given back to the pupils.

 

Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow as it is the school's swimming carnival and only those given the consent forms and your consent sought will attend the carnival. For those children, please do ensure that the transport has been arranged accordingly.

 

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

P.S. The homework list given is below.

An Important Note from Miss Ow Yeong

Dear Parents,
We have set up this blog so that you can have access to class information or the homework list to keep track of your child's learning. I hope that this is of help to you. Thank you for working with me as a team to support your child.  As I am new to blogging, please do excuse me if I am not managing this blog as efficiently as I should be. We are starting today as some children have left homework lists lying around in class and parents have asked regarding homework for the day. I will post the homework and things to bring list daily for your reference.  I will also be sending general messages to all parents via this blog.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog is meant  for dissemination of general information and NOT for any discussion online. Please direct ALL comments and discussion of any pupils in the class directly to me via email or via sms. Please DO NOT discuss or comment on ANY particular pupil(s) in the class as it may lead to misunderstandings as good intentions may be misread online. Please refer any problems faced by your child to me directly via email so that I can address the issues as soon as is possible.

For your kind understanding please. Let us all be one Happy family, working towards supporting the children in One Flexibility effectively and efficiently this year. Thank you.
