Happy New Year ! ( 3 Jan 2012)

Dear Parents,
Happy New Year! I am very glad to be taking your child again this year, as his/ her English and Maths Teacher. I will arrange with you in a few weeks' time to arrange for a session on what to expect for P2 this year, and to look into answering techniques in Maths and English. Can you please let Mrs Singh know asap what are the areas you are interested to know in order to help your child so that I can address this then? Thanks.

Today they are assigned one piece of homework. I am doing this so that the memory is still fresh on the children's mind, and to help them reflect on today. We had an assembly talk by Mr Ng, we watched a Wushu performance, and we had a school tour. We also had buddying for the P1s - They are buddying Primary 1F, Mr Sy's class. Later in the day, we talked about the class rules and expectations as well. I emphasized to the children on neatness and accuracy today as they are in P2, and no longer P1. I also reminded them with regard to punctual submission of homework. We also decorated the class table. They are sharing a piece of 'mahjong paper' cut out to fit the desk, and they designed half of it, and we placed a new plastic cover over it, so that they have a "customised" table. We also played an English guessing game today.

For homework, as I have mentioned to the class, they just have to write the journal on " My First Day of school" -  it can be written as a normal "composition" or it can be in a poem. I leave it to their own creative expression. If there is no time to wrap and decorate the new journal, they can hand in the journal first and I will allow them to wrap and decorate when the journal is returned.

Things to bring tomorrow 4 Jan  - This was copied by your child today :
a) English Story book
b) Pupil Diary 2012  - we are going through tomorrow
c) A new English single-line exercise book labelled as " Spelling". P.S. For all books, Name, Register no ( same as last year) as well as Teacher's name has to be written on the cover of the books.
d) A new Maths exercise book with "squares" labelled as "Mental Sums". Same note as above.
e) Journal ( Homework)

I have informed them of the timetable for tomorrow. But as there may still be changes in the timetable, we have not printed for them. Tomorrow they will have PE, English, MT , Maths and English again. Fyi pl.

Thanks for being such a great partner and team mate last year. I look forward to another more successful partnership with you this year in 2012!

Have a wonderful day!
Ow Yeong
