2 March 2012

Dear Parents,
Today, the Maths file was returned for your signatures on the unit worksheets. I've also returned the Maths Practical quiz paper for your perusal and signature. The Maths quiz paper is to be returned on Monday for filing purposes in your child's porfolio.

Today, we had filing and review of work done for Maths. For English, we had Dictation, as well as completion of an English Worksheet based on "Life in a Shell".  Comprehension techniques were reviewed.  The children were reminded that for comprehension questions that require them to select a word from the passage, they are answer in this way :
e,g,
The word is ' backwards' .    

They must use single inverted commas or single quotation marks, followed by a full-stop. They just need to answer in this way, without elaborating further e.g. The word that is the opposite of 'forward' is ....   (This is NOT necesssary and not recommended.)  The answer above ( The word is '  xxxx  '  .  ) is sufficient.

Double inverted commas, or double quotation marks are meant for sentences.
Eg. The sentence is " ..........".

Things to bring on 5 March
- Maths Activity Book 2A Part Two
-Small whiteboard, duster and marker
- Foolscap Paper - 5 sheets

P.S. The English Written Quiz will be returned on Monday.
P.P.S. The printout that gives the children more information on the Scrapbook Project will be given out next week.
Note: a) Last day of lessons will be next Thursday. Friday is Swimming Carnival. Only those with consent forms given by Mrs Ho or other teacher i/cs need to attend.
          b) Holiday Homework will be given next Monday 5 March, due when school reopens in Term 2 Week 1 Monday. There will NOT be any other homework from Mon 5 March to Wed 7 March to enable the children to prepare for their Maths Test on 7 March.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
