Further updates (16 Sept )

Dear Parents,
I've given out the learning journey consent forms to the pupils. They will be going for their learning journey on 27 Sept. They will have an early recess that day, and leave at around 2.30 pm and return to school 5 plus pm. They will have normal lessons from 1 pm to 2.30 pm, and from 5 plus pm to 6.30 pm. Money for the learning journey will be collected by Mrs Nair from Monday onwards.

I've also given out the plastic folder with 4 items inside, for your perusal and signature. The items include my cover letter indicating the class marks for the 2 quizzes, as well as the Term 3 bite sized assessment scores (For English, we added scores from the Show-and-Tell, Listening Comprehension as well as the English Quiz. For Maths, we added scores from the Practical quiz and the two written quizzes.) The English Quiz and Maths Quiz Question papers, as well as the Topical Progress report for Unit 3 (Addition and Subtraction within 100) are the other 3 items in the plastic folder.  I've written down the percentage scores as well as the Band ( 1 - 85 and more marks, 2 - 70 to 84, 3 - 50 to 69, 4 - 49 and less). This is NOT meant to judge the children's performance, but to serve as an indication of their readiness for formal assessments. I feel that we should focus on the positive aspects and guide the children towards success. This indication is for parents to have a rough idea of the readiness, so that efforts can be made to encourage the children further. I've NOT explained this Band and scores to the children - cover letter NOT explained, as this is meant for parents only.
This folder with all 3 items - you may wish to keep the cover letter, must be returned on Monday. Mrs Nair would be collecting them.

Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend!

Ow Yeong
