Dear Parents,
Today we did not have time for the English Revision Paper 2, so we had penmanship instead, after the children had finished their Maths Revision Paper 2.
For the Oral Assessment, I have spoken to all those who have not met me for the "rehearsal" for picture discussion, before I started my actual assessment. Today, except for one absentee among the first 19 pupils, I have assessed 18 of them (Register numbers from 1 to 19).
Tomorrow is a public holiday. I will continue my assessment on Wednesday.
Things to bring on Wed - Green pen, Foolscap Paper - 4 sheets, A4 size blank paper - 4 sheets
Homework - Learn Spelling for Week 7 and 8, as well as to learn the times tables from 2 x to 6x again.
Thank you.
Happy Labour Day Holiday!
P.S. The children received their Maths file today (pink file). I will be collecting their files only in Week 9. Both (English and Maths) are now returned for the children to review and revise on their own.

Dear Parents,
Today, we will be having a Show and Tell by a pupil who was absent previously, followed by a briefing on the oral this week.
We would also be returning the Maths files to the children today, as well as for them to do another Maths and English revision paper - while I conduct English oral assessement ( reading aloud and picture discussion) with each individual pupil, starting with register number 1.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Separate list for Week 7 and 8 Spelling
Dear Parents,
I had wanted the whole extra spelling list (just given) for the children to organise and also to keep as a reference when writing. Thus the words were not separated. Linus' mum emailed me the separate list - all separated into Week 7 and 8. Thanks! I'm attaching it here for your reference, in case your child needs to confirm which words are to be tested in Week 7 and which in Week 8. By the way, I will only test 10 words in Week 7 and 10 words in Week 8. The extra words are for their use in writing. Thanks.
Thanks:) Have a wonderful weekend! Ow Yeong
P.S. For the last 2 periods of Maths yesterday, we had completed Maths journals and also completed the Maths Activity Book 2A part 2. Only 2 children could not complete and they had to bring home as homework. The rest had already handed in.

Dear Parents,
Today, we had Spelling ( for words in numbers), and we also had reviewed and understood the list of words ( for Spelling for Week 7 and 8 - misspelt words) given to them. I am copying these words below for your info, but I have already printed a copy for them. For those who are in school, they have received today. For those who are absent, they will get it on Monday. But in case you need to know earlier, the list of words are copied below. I have informed the children that I will test 10 words from the list ( those words with 7 or fewer than 7 letters to be tested in Week 7, and those longer words (longer than 7 letters) to be tested in Week 8). This will give them more time to learn these words, which will be useful in composition writing.
Things to bring will be the same as that for today - Green pen, foolscap paper and A4 size blank paper.
As stated earlier, there is NO homework issued today. A number of our class pupils are having their Hindi or Punjabi tests/ exams this weekend.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, we completed our filing and the children brought home their English files. I will be collecting their files only in week 9. We did not have time to complete filing for Maths, so we will be sending the Maths files back on Monday.
Today, we also did a comprehension skills practice exercise, as well as completed some Maths practice. We then did a poster on 'Things so Singaporean' as part of the Social Studies (English) exercise. Those who did not manage to complete in class were allowed to bring it home to complete and to hand in tomorrow. We also went through self-checking for Maths Homework due to day.
I didn't have the time to do the English practice for picture discussion today. I will continue to do so on Friday. I will officially start my Oral Assessment on Monday instead, and will take the whole week to complete, starting with registers number 1.
Things to bring tomorrow:
- 2 English books - read and ready for book review
(I've already explained how to do it today as well.)
- Foolscap Paper - 4 sheets
- A4 size blank Paper - 4 sheets
As mentioned, the children will be doing
a) English Revision Paper - full paper as a practice
b) Maths Revision Paper - full paper as a practice
c) 2 Book Reviews
in class tomorrow, while I am away for a cluster meeting.
P.S. From 8 May to 15 May, we will be shifting to a P6 classroom as the current classroom will be given to the P6 for their exams. We will be shifting back after the SA1. Most of the P2 classes will be affected, and we are one of them.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
We will be reading a new book - Chicken Food today. This book will not be assessed in terms of its grammar components for the English Review paper at mid year.

For Maths, we will be doing corrections, and will hopefully have time also to come up with a story book with multiplication and division concepts embeded in it.
Things to bring for tomorrow:
a) Green Pen
b) Foolscap Paper - 3 sheets
c) A4 size paper - 2 sheets
d) Decorative markers and stickers - for social studies project to come up with a poster on Things Singaporean.
Thank you.

Today the children copied their things to bring and homework in their pupil diary:-
Things to bring tomorrow - Green Pen, A4 size paper - 3 sheets and Maths Coursebook 2A
Homework due Wed - a) Maths Activity book 2A Part 2 - pages (I'll post tomorrow as I've left my teacher's guide in school - my apologies)
b) practise for Oral in lead.com.sg (Oral Buddy) - I have not been able to do the practice for picture discussion with the rest of the pupils. Thus I will do that tomorrow (and Wed) and will most probably start the actual assessment on Friday, as I will be away for a cluster meeting this Thursday.
Homework due Fri - a) Maths Activity book 2A Part 2 - additional pages till end of review exercise ( except journals) - again apologies, will post actual pages tomorrow morning when I am in school.)
b) 2 more leaves - which are book reviews
There will be NO homework this Friday as a number of pupils are having their Hindi and Punjabi exams this weekend.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
Note:
a) This Thursday during my absence, the children will be doing an English revision paper as well as a Maths revision paper, plus the reading period. Both papers will be done in the exam mode. These are full papers will be used to gauge readiness to review this half year's work. Thus nothing will be missed.
b) From 8 May to 15 May, our class will be shifting to another classroom - a P6 classroom as the P6s will be using our classroom (we are not the only ones to move. All in the containers are moving.) for their exams. Both P4 in the morning and us are all moving. This is just an exam measure, as the room will be arranged in the exam format during this period of time.

Dear Parents,
Today, the children will be given their Learning Journey consent form.
In class, we had Spelling (unseen and from the spelling of numbers from zero to one thousand in words). Next week's spelling will be from the same category.
We also had a comprehension exercise ( looking for main ideas in given paragraphs) which we would complete next week.
For Maths, we will have Mental Sums and filing for the Maths Brain Gym file (which I have purchased for the children ). This is due to the fact that many of our Brain gym activities are project based and will not be suitable to be placed in the exercise book. We will do more in the exercise books in Semester 2.
Things to bring on Monday :
a) Green Pen
b) Foolscap paper- 3 sheets
c) A4 size blank paper - 3 sheets
d) Coloured markers and decoration for the 'Brain Gym' file
e) Pointers for self evaluation for scrapbook ( this self evaluation via write up and checklist, plus peer evaluation, plus teacher evaluation will be bundled up together to complete the scrapbook. I will be giving them 3 plastic pockets to place these evaluations.)
Thanks.
Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, we had another Graphic Stimulus assessment, with the questions not printed but read out by me.
We then had Show-and-Tell on our cupcake experience. (For the only absentee in class, I will do this with him on his return for both activities.) The children were shown the powerpoint slides of their own pictures and then presented on it. They did a great job!
We ran out of time for review and filing etc so we will do so tomorrow.
As for Maths, we had mental sums ( 10 written sums), and we have also gone through the Mass Practical paper. This was returned ( plus the Journal writing rubrics feedback) in a plastic pocket.
For the Mass Practical paper, this is the class statistics -
For Journal writing , we have selected one of the pieces to assess. The piece selected was "My favourite play area in the school". No marks are awarded, only a checklist with comments.
Things to bring for tomorrow:
a) Hole puncher
b) Stapler
c) Green pen
d) Spelling ex book with your signature and corrections done
e) Plastic pocket with Mass Practical paper plus Journal writing rubrics feedback ( with your signature)
P.S. The journal was returned so that you can take a look at the piece of journal I had selected to comment on. Please also help to initial on the last exercise so that I know you have seen. The children will be using their journals on Monday so I am not collecting it tomorrow.
P.P.S. a) I have explained to 5 pupils today on how to do the synonyms booklet.
b) I will issue the Learning Journey consent form tomorrow. Currently we only have 3 Parents volunteering as facilitators for the Learning Journey. Interested parents, please do let Mrs Singh know. Same arrangement as before. It will be f.o.c, and parent volunteers will be tasked to lead a group of 3 to 5 children.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
