Re: 9 April

Dear Parents,
I am down with flu and in order not to infect the children am on medical leave today. Apologies. As such, we will spend more time to complete the scrapbook project today so that all the intended lessons for today will be done when I come back.

Here's the lesson plan I have emailed today for the relief teacher and Mrs Nair:


Today I have 8 periods ( 1st 2 periods will be EL as it was swapped with Fri’s 1st 2 periods due to International Friendship Day. )

1pm to 2pm

1.) To fetch the children from the Hall to the classroom

2) To let the children copy things to bring for tomorrow:

Maths Coursebook 2A

A4 size blank paper – 5 sheets

Foolscap Paper – 3 sheets

Markers for decoration

3) To inform the children that

Social Studies component will involve the assessment of writing on Things so Singaporean. The children will need to write at least 5 sentences ( in class) on their favourite food and at least 5 sentences ( in class) on their favourite activity. This will be counted in terms of the grade given for Social studies. They will do this in class on Wednesday. They can plan but cannot write out the sentences beforehand.

4. To list down as many words as they can with the same meanings (synonyms) – to do so in pairs or small groups -  for the following words ( and to write and submit individually on foolscap or A4 blank paper)

- Good

- Bad

- Happy

- Sad

- Angry

- say

5. To do penmanship for the next 2 exercises

 3pm to 3.30pm  (I've to change this activity so that the RT can manage as it was meant to be an outdoor Mental Sums game cum quiz with whiteboard.)

-          Using their Mental Sums book (at the back of the classroom) to test them on their 2 times and 3 times tables – all from 1 to 12. (To do self-check with green pen after the 24 questions)

To collect the Mental Sums books and placed at the back of the class after the children have self-checked with green pen. To send the children for recess. Ticket for recess : Mental Sums book

4pm to 6.30pm



1.      To pick up the children at 4pm from the kidzone

2.      To get the children to do their scrapbook project.

This must be done on their own without help and the children are to be assessed on their seriousness and ability to do their project well (neatly, quietly and showing quality work with good content) by Mrs Nair and the relief teacher.  Please note down via the checklist with Mrs Nair.

Today, they will be

a)      Doing their Writing piece

b)      Completing all work that was not done in scrap book so that the project looks complete

c)      Adding on extra things to make it look nice

This is the final submission. The pupils can then compile and staple their scrapbook together ready for evaluation when I come back. Please let them know that no more extra time will be given this week for the scrapbook project as they are given about 2 and a half hours for this activity.

- All items must be kept in class and will not be brought home.

- The pupils are to do silent reading if they have completed their work.

6.25 pm to get the pupils to pack up.

6.30pm to send the pupils to the respective areas for dismissal (to go home).

 Thank you.

Ow Yeong
P.S. There is NO homework today, as homework is linked to the big book to be read today. This reading will be conducted tomorrow. Thus homework will be issued tomorrow.
P.P.S. Rest assured that the children will not be missing components as I am just rearranging the written part of the work to be rescheduled today. All intended syllabus will be covered as per normal. Thank you.
