22 Feb 2012

Dear Parents,
Today, we spent time in doing a bit more on SPACE and writing of a story on insects. Due to time constraint, not everyone was able to complete. The key part of this exercise is to learn how to write a story (which can be the same or different from what we have watched from "A Bug's Life") using SPACE. There was a demo in class regarding this. We are concentrating on what to write for each part of the story - Setting, Problem, Action, Conclusion and Extended Ending. The children will have a chance of completing this at home over the weekend, as this will be one of the 3 pieces of homework assigned tomorrow and due Monday.

We had our Maths practical test today successfully. 4 MOE Maths officers wanted to see how such quizzes were conducted in our school, so the Maths HOD arranged with me today just before my 5pm lesson for them to view our Maths quiz and see how it is being done. They left satisfied and happy. (By the way, I only mentioned that we have visitors and the children greeted them as Teachers (as requested by the Maths HOD) so your child may not know where these 'teachers' are from and does not need to know either re this.

We then completed Maths written work (extra worksheets) to wrap up the "written part" of the topic of length as well as there was still time after the test.

Things to bring tomorrow:
a) A4 size blank paper - 5 sheets
b) Foolscap paper - 5 sheets
c) 2 English story books that your child has NOT read

Btw, as some pupils needed more time for the extra assignments assigned - e.g. for some, there were computer problems, I've extended the deadline for all who needed to complete the extra problemsums assignment till this Friday.

We will be having the English Written test tomorrow, and thus there is NO homework today. Homework will be issued tomorrow.

Tomorrow's lesson will include:
a) English written test
b) Book review exercise to be done in class
c) Maths Worksheets (to conclude the last 'written part' of length)
d) Reading Period

As I will be away tomorrow, instructions have already been given to Mrs Nair, who will be working with the Relief Teacher on this.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
Ow Yeong
