Dear Parents,
For the journal homework, please do ask your child to do it on foolscap paper. 

I've given your child their Maths Activity book 2A Part 2, as well as the 2 English and 2 Maths Revision Papers. Please do sign next to the marks on the cover page. This will give you a gauge of the readiness of your child for a full written paper, like the one he or she is doing next week on the 10th (English) and 11th ( Maths) of May.  I've only managed to go through the answers and explained for the 2 English Revision Papers, as well as Questions 1 to 32 of  Maths Revision Paper 1. I will continue to explain what to look out for and common errors and which part is tricky etc on Tuesday. The children need not bring their files but will only need to bring their Maths Revision Paper 1 and 2 on Tuesday so that I can contine to explain to them. I've printed the answer sheets for the Revision papers for them so that they can do their corrections in green on the paper but explanation will be continued on Tuesday.  I took time to explain how one should attempt each question and what pitfalls to avoid.  I wil be drawing out the relevant models for them on Tuesday as well.

We just had 4 periods - minus the walking from the hall, and waiting for them to return from PE etc, and so I was proud of the children for accomplishing so much today.

a) short briefing
b) went through and explained English Revision Paper 2 ( just in time for MT)

c) gave out Maths Revision Papers 1 and 2 
d) Went through Maths Revision Paper 1 till question 32.

e)  Did Spelling for 10 words for Week 7

Btw, Mrs Nair has tied and packed the things filed in the portfolio from last year and have placed it in the children's bags. Please keep it at home (and need not bring back to school again) so that when we issue the portfolio to the children with the newly filed things this year, it will not be so heavy for the children. 

Thank you.

Have a wonderful long weekend.
I will see the children on 8th May.
