Dear Parents,
Today for Maths, we had pair/group discussions on "What is multiplication? What is division? Are they in any way connected? How are they connected?". The children all took turns discussing and we constructed our class knowledge together to start the topic of 'Multiplication and Division'.
For English, the children were brought to the canteen one period earlier than recess - during our English period, to buy ONE type of favourite food from the canteen. They then shared with the group, and later as we ran out of time, they each queued up to share with me before going for recess to enjoy the food they had bought. They each greeted, gave an introduction of themselves as well as told the class / me re what their favourite food in the canteen was, where did they buy it from, how much does it cost and why did they like it.
We had a class dictated writing in class to write about this experience, and then later the children did pair/ group writing on the same experience. They also illustrated their work.
At the end of the class, we watched a short video on food preparation by Donald Duck, as a round up of the theme, as well as to add a light hearted moment to a full day of discussion, presentation and writing.
Things to bring tomorrow:
a) Maths Coursebook 2A
b) Small whiteboard, duster and marker
c) A4 size blank paper - 4 sheets
Thank you.
P.S. Scrap book material will be needed on Thursday for 'Top 3 Spots' .
Have a wonderful day!
Ow Yeong
