17 May, 18 May and 25 May Matters

Dear Parents,
Today the children had a great time at the Oh Chin Huat Farm. They sampled a number of herbs and edible plants, and also smelled and touched a number of mints. They were all given their "gifts" on their way out. We will be reviewing this visit again next week, with a project that is related to how a seed would feel through its journey at the Farm. The children would be doing this next week. More information will be given later, on Monday. A very BIG THANK YOU to our parents who have helped with this trip today ( Kabir's Dad, Shahdan's Mum, Tristan's Mum, Taran's Mum and Rahul's Mum):) Together with Mrs Nair and me, we had 7 groups of children for this activity. Thank you for looking into the well-being of the children:) There will be another Learning Journey around Week 4 or 5 next Term. I look forward to your continued support in this way. Thank you:)

Tomorrow, the children will have a very short time with me. Out of my 4 teaching periods on Friday, we will be having English Spelling for Week 9 and Storybook creation in class for the first 2 periods, as well as IT Maths in the lab (conducted by our IT trainer) during the last 2 periods for Maths.  We will be collecting the English and Maths Review Papers with your signature as well. That will account for all the available time we will have tomorrow.

IMPORTANT : MEET-THE-PARENTS SESSION

Tomorrow, I will be issuing the confirmation slip to you via your child to indicate the confirmed timing for the Meet-the-Parents Session on 25 May. I have tried my best to make the necessary arrangements to fit your preferred timeslot. If you did not get the confirmation slip on Friday, please do sms me. Your child may have misplaced it. I will then reissue again.

I will be sharing with you with regard to your child's progress and areas to work further on, as well as his/her strengths. We will also look into your child's readiness for the formal examination at the end of this year. I will be returning your child's scrapbook to you then. There will also be a short "feedback report" - my own usual feedback, issued during the meet-up, besides the report book. I will be packing the feedback for oral and that for graphic stimulus in a plastic folder that I will be issuing to you. Please do return the report book and all reports, duly signed when school opens on Day One of Term 3 Week 1, via your child. I look forward to our continual partnership in helping and guiding your child to excellence this year.

In order to meet everyone, there is only a 10-min interval given.  I hope that you will be patient with me if there is a need to wait for a while at times, and it is also very important for everyone to be punctual for the meet-up as well,as timing may be affected if one is delayed. The MT teachers will be in the Hall then. Thus please meet up with them either before or after your session with me. Mdm Kwan - the Maths pullout teacher teaching 4 of our children will also be in the Hall. 

Note: Spelling for Week 10 will be next Thursday, instead of Friday as there is NO school for your child on that day (25 May, Meet-the-Parents Session).

As I will be busy with meetings tomorrow, I will not be posting on this Class Blog tomorrow. This is the reason why this post has also included brief information on 18 May as well. All information pertaining to Homework and Things to bring (from Friday to Monday) have already been issued and also posted earlier.

Till my next post on Monday, here's wishing you a good weekend in advance.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
Ow Yeong
