Dear Parents,
This is the last blog that I am putting up for 2 Flexibility.
It has been a good two years with the class, working with you as my fellow team mates to support and guide the children. Thank you for being such a good team mate!!!
Today, the children are receiving the following items:-
a) report book with results and class posted indicated. - I just peeked at the report books prepared by Mrs Ho. I think Mrs Ho just put the I 1 or C1 etc. She meant 3I 1 or 3C1. So please do take note. Although the number 3 is omitted, it is taken as known to all.
b) Exam scripts for English, Maths and MT, and Oral feedback form
c) Home Econs paper - recording what we did yesterday - to be placed in English file at the end of the file
d) Poster that I have made for the class - if it is not in a good condition when it gets home, I still have a few spare copies. I hope that the children can have a good souvenir for their two years together.
e) Rewards as promised based on 'earnings' for good behaviour, results etc etc etc. Reminders were given that this is a bonus and regardless of rewards, as pupils, they must work hard. I told them I want all the 2F children to work hard in P3. They will still see me for the Good Children Rewards - which is given for every class by me.
A BIG Thank you to our parents who helped to organise the party today! Thanks for organising this! All the children have enjoyed themselves. They have brought back the 'balloon' that they have made during the party.
I have spoken to the children and got a bit teary, (hopefully the children did not see), as I will miss your children. It was a great two years working together:) Mrs Nair and I also got to hug each child before we all, as a class, for the last time, walk to all the 3 dismissal points together and 'drop off' the children and wished them happy holidays.
With that, I would have completed my 'stint' as their English and Maths Teacher for two years!
I wish your child all the best in his or her P3 next year! I know they would be wonderful and I look forward to hearing wonderful things about them in future.
Please take care and have a wonderful day everyday!
I shall now sign off for the last time. Thank you!!!
P.S. Those who may have missed the report books etc, they should be in Mrs Ho (FT)'s pigeonhole. As for the rewards, I will deliver them to those who have to leave earlier in January 2013, as the rewards are too big to be squeezed in the pigeonhole and the office cannot be a place for storing such things.
See you around. Take care!
Happy Holidays!

Dear Parents,
Today we had Home Economics lesson ( postponed from last week) in class. The children tasted different combinations of the Bandung drink with various proportion of milk and rose syrup. They then decided which they liked best and stated the reasons why.
They also did a Maths Worksheets for the follow-up of the Maths Research by the level. They also had their last Mental Sums today. The Mental Sums book has been returned to them today.
Tomorrow for Party Day, they would not be having any lessons.
1pm to 2pm - In the hall for a 'reactment' of the prize giving day for the P1s and 2s prize winners, and also a tribute to Mr Ng from the pupils.
2pm (or thereabouts depending on when the hall activity ends) till 5pm will be the party day.
I will have to end the party at around 5pm tomorrow, as there are report books to be given out, plus returning of the exam papers, plus my rewards and the mystery gift to them, plus my final farewell to the children after two years.
Note: Mr Sy has already announced to them that tomorrow they can wear their home clothes, but need to wear school shoes. But No Sleeveless clothes.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

Re: An explanation of the P3 classes in 2013
Dear Parents,
Please do note that there are two clusters - the Integrity Cluster ( selected based on overall results by comparing the whole cohort) and the Care Cluster. Please be informed that the Integrity classes I1 to 15 - are the same - in the sense that the children are selected based on overall results but are then spread out equally among the classes, thus I1 = I2 = 13 = 14 = I5 . There is NO top I class. Then the rest of the children are in the Care cluster and once again, the children are equally spread out once again. Thus C1 = C2 = C3 = C4 = C5 . There is No top C class.
Fyi please. Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!
Ow Yeong
P.S. The children will know their classes along with their report books on Thursday.
Note: 53% of our class children are in the Integrity cluster. 47% are in the Care cluster.

Dear Parents,
Today, the children wrote Thank you notes to their friends to express their gratitude for the times when they felt thankful or grateful to their friends for helping them. The children then delivered these notes personally to their friends.
Then we had Mental Sums ( we will continue till Wed as the children still need practice now and then). Today, we have retrieved the penmanship books from the container classroom and have returned them to the children.
The children then did a journal entitled " My Primary Two Experience" reflecting on the things learnt, as well as their high and low points, and what they would miss most from Primary Two.
Thanks.
Here's wishing all Hindu parents and children Happy Deepavali!
I will see your child on Wednesday.
Thank you.

Dear Parents,
Today the children had Team Art - by creating on each other's art piece and everyone in the class (All 30) -and also including Mrs Nair and I joined in - the children took back the final product at the end. They had to think of how to add on creatively ( but must be nice and positive) on the art piece passed to them. This activity focused on creativity and character values.
Then there was a short briefing by our Parent I/C for the Class Party for the children (Mrs Nair and I don't know what went on as we were invited out then...) .
Then the children completed their penmanship (if they had not done so) and also did a piece of art that represents them. This will be used for Show and Tell in later English lesson. Those who could not finish were asked to bring it back to complete so that we can start the Show and Tell together as a class.
P.S. Tomorrow, we will have IT Maths.
Thank you.

Dear Parents,
Today for English, we had a movie Review on the movie - Bambi, while the pupils were called to do the online end-of-the year school's pupil survey one at a time. This is the second type of contribution for a newsletter. ( First was writing a news article - in this case a 'twisted' one based on another version of a well-known nursery rhyme or story, now a movie review.) We would continue to learn other types next week. At the end of the English lesson, the class listened to an audio story.
For Maths, we had the second part of our project - drawing up the table with the same research question, and then interviewing each other in the class for the data. Next week, we would continue the project. I am moving the children one step at a time for this project.
P.S. We would be going through the SA2 main papers sometime next week, after all absentees had taken the paper on Monday.
Note: We are still using the venue we are using these 2 days as our classroom on Monday. It is also an airconditioned classroom - but not a container. It is a special room for MT, but we are 'loaning' it and 'shifting' those who usually use the room somewhere else for the time being.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day and a long weekend break! I will see your child in school again next Monday.
Selamat Hari Raya Haji ( to our Muslim parents)!

Today, we watched news story with a twist (a few videos) and the children created their news stories. We intend to compile them for the newsletter project.
For Maths later, we would be starting on a project which trains the children to do a simple survey and simple report, based on data 'generated'.
Note: There are still absentees in the level who had missed their EL and Maths SA2 papers, as such we could not go through the SA2 papers as yet.
P.S. Thanks to Mrs Singh, who had helped me blog the Health Alert. I was marking the SA2 papers with the level teachers and could not access the blog earlier, and thus had messaged Mrs Singh to help post the info. Fyi please.

Dear Parents,
Today the children had their Maths SA2. After that, we had reflections done, as well as Mental Sums.
Things to bring daily till 31 Oct include
- A4 size blank paper - 5 sheets
- Stapler
- Colouring materials e.g. colouring pencils, markers, crayons etc
- Drawing block paper - 2 sheets
- 15-cm ruler
We will be doing Maths and English projects, as well as Social Studies project for the remaining days/ weeks, in class, besides going through the SA2 papers when everyone in the level has completed their exams ( when the absentees have taken their exams this week).
By the way, I would like to get help from Parents who would like to plan our class party plus (to see if we can arrange any excursion if any) for the children, before they get separated in P3 in the various classes. I need an 'organizing committee'. Can parents who are interested to plan ( I'll provide the input re what I have in mind but I would need help to organize and do the nec prep work etc. ) and organize, please message me by end of this Friday? After the SA2, we can meet up together to come up with a more concrete plan. 'Criteria for involvement' would be your ability to meet up with us to discuss in the mornings, as I would only be able to call for meetings then. I am also printing something for the children and will need help to liaise with the printer as well.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, I reviewed with the whole class - I spoke individually to every child, on English Paper 2 , and the areas that they need to be aware of, based on each of their areas for improvement. The children were also encouraged to ask me questions when in doubt ( our consultation session). They also did their corrections for comprehension. The children also did Revision Paper 2 for Maths, and enrichment for Maths as well. Both of these papers will be returned on Monday. As we had a short time together todays - only 4 periods (2 for English and 2 for Maths) , those who could not finish brought the Maths Revision paper 2 back. We would be going through the papers on Monday, after the English SA2.
I have given the children their Maths performance Task on Graphs today. They have also received their Social Studies test paper as well. Please check and sign next to the mark. It is to be filed in the Maths file right at the end, and in the English File respectively. Other papers e.g. notes taken by them for Maths and Comprehension Booklets which were left in the old classroom were retrieved and returned today to them. Btw, I am keeping the SA2 Oral feedback forms as the level will return that only after all 3 SA2 papers .
I am still keeping their penmanship books, Journals as well as Mental Sums ( as they could still practise and complete, as well as practise Mental Sums (after the exams). These are non-examinable components.
Things to bring on Monday - a) Social Studies Activity book ( The Social Studies Subject Head wanted to do a book check.)
b) Foolscap Paper - 4 sheets
c) Green Pen
Note: Timetable is suspended on all the SA2 exam days. No more homework from now onwards.
The English Paper is on Monday and the Maths Paper is on Tuesday.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful weekend!
P.S. All the best to your child for his / her SA2 next week!

Dear Parents,
Today the children received their Maths Activity books 2B Part 1 and 2, as well as their Portfolio. They are also given their Maths Worksheets for Graphs which we went through as a class. This is to be signed by you and filed in their Maths File. For those with corrections, they must bring their Maths Activity books 2B Part 1 and 2 to show me next Friday.
Spelling book is also returned today.
Today, we also went through the Maths Revision Paper 1. However we ran out of time when it comes to the word problems. Thus I could only give them the final answers and I told them I would go through in detail next Friday w.r.t. models, statements and workings. Fyi pl.
For English, we went through our English Revision Paper 2.
Please note that there is NO school for the next week from Monday to Thursday ( PSLE marking days). Please do remind your child to use this time for revision. I have assigned e-assignments which can help with the revision.
I will see your child next Friday to do a final review for English, and to go through Maths and also to do Revision Paper 2 for Maths.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful day and a great weekend!

Dear Parents,
Today the children had MT oral,thus time was taken by taking them to the hall during my class time.
For Maths, we had note taking for the topic of Graphs. We also did class work - activity book on Graphs.
For English, we reviewed the English Revision Paper 1 - and the children self-checked during the review. I am treating this merely as an exercise and thus for comprehension, if a part of the answer is wrong, they will have to correct all. Although marks are tabulated, we did not share this with the rest of the class as it is treated as an exercise. Please do look through - more importantly to see if your child has listened in class and corrected as advised, and also to see the mistakes made by your child. This is to be signed and filed in the English file.
They were also given their Good Children Rewards and Children's Day Gift today, as there was no time to do so till today.
Thank you.

Dear Parents,
Today, the children had their English Composition SA2, followed by having me review with them their worksheets on Geometry. (This was returned to them to be signed by you, and filed in the Maths file.) One more topic to be done for Maths - Graphs.
Then we had Listening Compre SA2. After that, we reviewed the 'Alley Cats' Worksheets. (This was also returned to them to be signed by you, and filed in the English file.) No more Stellar worksheets already. Only revision worksheets.
I then arranged for the teachers going in to the class (timetable suspension) to let them view what I had started - a video on Graphs for children to introduce the topic of Graphs, as well as getting them to do an English Revision Paper ( paper 2 format).
Tomorrow, the children will be having their MT Composition SA2. I will be away for meeting, and will arrange for the children to do their Maths Revision Paper, plus review part of their English Revision Paper.
Thanks.

Dear Parents,
Today for Maths, we had a Maths Quiz on Geometry. For English, the children were reminded re what to bring and what to wear on Thursday. Thursday - morning session for the children.
For One-legged hop - to wear red T-shirt
For Beanie Skip - to wear blue T-shirt
For Torch Relay - to wear white T-shirt
To bring uniform to change so that they can sit comfortably for the concert afterwards.
Today for English, we reviewed Composition writing skills (SPACE) and to remember to have two-finger spacing for new paragraphs and also to leave a line after writing on one line. We then continued our peer evaluation and also the children also did self-evaluation. Then they did a re-write of the composition. Composition 3 was chosen as it was a simple topic, and I have not pointed out all the mistakes deliberately for the first marking so that peers and themselves can highlight. The children did a re-write and I had completed my marking of that rewrite today and returned the papers to them.
Tomorrow will be their English Composition and Listening Comprehension Exams (SA2). Please do remind your child to review his or her composition writing skills and take note of good phrases. The model compositions are not meant to be perfect pieces but they were authentic P2 pieces who had scored high marks. It is meant only as an example.
All the best to your child for his or her SA2 tomorrow.
Note: Timetable for 2 Oct and 3 Oct will be suspended.

2) Social Studies Test
3) While the children are doing their Maths Classwork (continuation of yesterday on Geometry), I will be calling each child to me and give them their compo papers as well their English Practice Paper 2 and pointing out to them areas to take note of. They will also be doing their corrections for the practice paper.
P.S. I have printed 8 model compositions for them to take note. Some of them are related to the exercises we have done eg. pictures related to the mother and child waiting for bus 176, as well as for fishing in the pond. Others are just model compositions to show the children what are good compositions.

On Monday, we will review composition skills and also read good compositions. For listening comprehension wise, they have had enough practice already.
We just practised yesterday via practice paper 2.
Today, the children will be doing their English worksheets on 'Alley Cats', as well as additional comprehension practice.
For Maths, they will be completing their Maths classwork as well as do an activity on Geometry.

Dear Parents,
Today we had a briefing and I reminded the children on their readiness and attitude towards learning and preparation for their SA2. I also reminded the children that for their SA2 composition, they are to write on the school's foolscap paper, and to leave a line after writing on each line, besides remembering to write in paragraphs. Leaving a line after writing on each line is important so that it is neater and also if they need to add anything (a word or phrase or sentence) that they felt was left out during checking, they can put in an 'arrow up' ( inverted 'v') and write it in, in the space above.
We then did another practice paper 2. This time, this paper included a practice on listening comprehension as well. After that, the children watched clips, combined with my story telling of the the movie - 'Aristocats'. This is related to our experiential learning related to the big book 'Alley Cats'. The children then did a movie review - writing the gist of the movie, as well as comment on why they like or dislike it and the characters that they like in the movie.
For Maths, the children completed their Maths Worksheets on Geometry. The three pupils who did not finish brought the paper back to complete. Then the children practised and did exercises in their Maths Coursebook - using the dot grid paper and square grid paper ｔｈａｔ Ｉhave given them. We will continue this practice tomorrow. We will also be constructing composite shapes as well.
Reminder - There will be a Social Studies Test this Friday. I was also told by their HE teacher that there would be a ＨＥ Ｔｅｓｔ ａｓ ｗｅｌｌ ｏｎ ｔｈａｔ ｄａｙ．

Note: In their composition, IP means new paragraph, p - punctuation mistake, sp - spelling mistake , T - tense error , ww - wrong word.

Dear Parents,
We just had the mid-autumn festival celebrations in school earlier this evening. Although only a small number of our class pupils stayed back, it was great fun watching the children enjoy themselves:)
Today, the English and Maths Files are returned for good - as we are moving to the P6 classroom for the next 2 weeks - our room is used for PSLE ( all things had to be cleared or moved out from our original classroom) , and as the exams are not too far away, I have decided to return the files for good. There are just two more topics - Geometry and Graphs for Maths, as well as just one more Big Book title - Alley Cats to cover, and we are on our way to pure revision...... I have just held on to Compo 3 as I wanted to use it to get the children to practise editing skills, so this will be returned much later after our activity. Scrapbooks are also returned today. When the relevant worksheets are done for the remaining topics, they will be returned for the children to file at home. So there is no need to bring the files again to school.
On Monday, I will return the Brain Gym file for Maths, as there was suspension of time table and a dental talk today and with the early dismissal, was not able to return everything, so we transferred them to new classroom to be returned next week.
Next Friday will be the Social Studies Test - based on the Activity book.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Dear Parents,
Today the children reviewed the worksheets done for English - 'The Best Pet'. They also did classwork in their Maths Activity book. We also had the second part of the briefing for the Learning Journey with some information on the airport and their groupings (which had been subjected to some slight changes), as well as the Do's and Don'ts at the airport. We also had online lessons on Volume with note-taking by the children, followed by a Maths Quiz on Volume. At the end of the lessons, they had their Spelling for Week 1.
Due to time constraints, I was not able to let the children know about homework, thus I have asked Mrs Singh to message you to give you the information ,and I will be informing the children tomorrow regarding this. Homework will be English and Maths Assignments in Lead.com.sg, as well as Problemsums.com assignments on Time and Volume (due Monday).
Tomorrow is the Learning Journey to Changi Airport - so they must bring a small bag with the items stated in my previous things to bring list. (e..g Jacket, water bottle, extra snacks, clipboard with attached pencil, pencil box, foolscap paper - 3 to 4 sheets).
After the Learning Journey, the children will be reviewing the experience with me back in school.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
The Social Studies assessment will be postponed to Week 3. Thus I will only speak to the children next week regarding this.
Today, the children completed their English worksheet related to 'The Best Pet'. They also had silent reading and book review. As all the children have completed their Readers' Theatre performance today, I have issued the feedback form to the children. Please sign and return via your child tomorrow.
The children also did their Social Studies work today. They did classwork and also an activity to build the tallest tower. It is hoped that with their previous experience in building with newspapers etc, they would be able to make a taller one this time, and learn from their experience.
I also briefed them (Part 1 briefing) for the Learning Journey. There will be a Part Two briefing tomorrow with more details.
As the other teachers in the level are asking the children if they want to purchase Happy Meals from McDonald's and we can order in bulk for them, in order to be fair and to reward the children for their good behaviour ( the majority improved in care etc when doing their review papers and in their class behaviour and learning attitude), and also to encourage them to be on their best behaviour on Friday, I am ordering Happy Meals for them and it will be my treat for the children. Whether they can afford or not, all of them will be able to enjoy the meal. (By the way, this is only for 2F. The other children in the level are paying for their own if they want to order. Please do not share this information with parents of other classes as problems may arise due to comparison. For those who do not wish to order this food item, I will convert it to a non-food item as a reward at year end. The children were given these choices( main meal : chicken nuggets or cheese burger ( vegetarians - will have the choice of the non-meat burger) + (drink : ribena or fresh milk) + side order (french fries or apple slices). As we are making a bulk order, there will be limited choices. The children can still eat their own snacks and take their own drinks. SHOULD YOU WISH TO STOP YOUR CHILD FROM HAVING THIS HAPPY MEAL (e.g. some parents may not allow the children to take fast food), PLEASE SMS ME AT 98234731 by end of of today (12 Sept), AND I WILL NOT ORDER FOR YOUR CHILD. By the way, I think a toy is provided with this Happy Meal pack. Your child is indicating their choices to me after recess today. Before I send in the order tomorrow morning, I will respect your wishes to make any change to your child's decision.
This bulk order is made so as to reduce waiting time for purchase of food and thus not cause delay to the completion of the learning tasks on Friday.
For Maths, we are exploring the topic of Volume via online quizzes.
P.S. As mentioned, no homework issued till Thursday.
Fyi please. Thank you.

Just a reminder in case your child intends to give anything to his or her teachers tomorrow - Teachers will only be able to accept gifts of nominal value, such as cards or arts and crafts, offered by students in appreciation of your work are acceptable on this occasion. Students should be advised against offering expensive gifts.

29 August (2nd post) and re 30 August
Dear Parents,
Sorry for the late post as I was busy till almost 1 a.m. this morning with school matters.
Yesterday, the children had their Listening Comprehension assessment. They also went through and did corrections for the Worksheets on 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'. They were to get your signature and then file in their English File. They then practised in their groups for Readers' Theatre and they also took time to make their own 'name tags' to identify their roles in the performance.
For Maths, the children worked on a Maths story based on time, the creation of a Maths story integrated with the concepts learnt in Time. I had demonstrated this previously (by creating such a Maths story) in an activity that they had done with the little clocks ( that is, I tell the story and they followed with the timing and then they were to tell me the final time at the end of the story ). Most of them could not finish so today, I will be giving them extra time to complete.
Today, the children will be having their Readers' Theatre performance cum assessment. For Maths, they will complete their Maths story and also review their concepts on Time.
Today is also reward day for the children. Tomorrow, with the Teachers' Day celebration (1st two periods) as well early dismissal, I would not be able to see them in class as my lessons are the first two and last two periods tomorrow. Thus there is no blog for tomorrow.
Your child will be having their September holidays next week. I will see your child on 10 Sept.
Take care and have a wonderful day!

P.S. English and Maths Review Paper, Listening Compre, Readers Theatre grade feedback, and my periodic report for Term 3 will be given in Term 4 Week 1.
P.P.S. I will give out the holistic report (for Term 3) today as I would not be seeing them tomorrow.

Dear Parents,
As there are absentees in the level, and the last possible date for taking the Maths Review Paper is this Friday, the level has decided to release the two review papers (English and Maths) only in Term 4 Week 1. As such, I will conform to the level's decision as if not, it will not be fair to the rest in the level.
As such, my usual class periodic review (which will comprise of the class average etc), as well as the 2 review papers will be issued together in Term 4 Week 1. In the meantime, should you require information about your child's performance and behaviour before my issue of the periodic review, please do email me so that I can address your specific enquiry. However, as a level, we are issuing the holistic report to your child on Friday so that you are aware of the holistic development of your child thus far.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
